Investment Q&A

Q: Medpace is down approx. 135$ in the last three months.Is it attractive here at 325$?

Q: In a recent Market Update (Aug 22) you spoke of the power of compounding and the key characteristics of a high compounding stock such as higher volatility, strong sales growth, lower dividends, premium valuations, etc. As a follow up to this topic could you please provide the 5 best US companies (or more if you wish) which you consider to fit these characteristics for long term compounding. Many thanks. Cal

Q: Hi,
PLTR’s price has really jumped as of late. The stock was already very expensive from a valuation standpoint. Do you think it’s gotten ahead itself?
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Good morning,

Thoughts on GOOG here. Lots of anti-trust noise recently, and -10% over the last week? Hold for the time being?

Thanks as always.

Q: any comments on this small co. after FDA approval recently of an insulin pump.

Q: Hi Team,

Knowing you don't give personal advice, how high of a weight would YOU be comfortable holding ISRG.

Thanks

Q: There have been no questions on this small cap for quite awhile. It has caught some buying interest lately. Could you give us an update and share your thoughts as to whether you see it as a buy at this point.
Thank you

Q: What do you think of the Fiscal 2024 earnings? Would you consider it a good buy at current valuation?

Q: Do you know the reason why PLTR is up so much today on high volume.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Hello 5i,

Wondering if you have any recommendations in the Biometrics category, either ETF or stock? And any particular thoughts regarding current valuations and future prospects versus other opportunities?

Thanks for your feedback.

Q: Please rank in order of what you believe have best long term growth potential.
Thanks so much

Q: It seems Tesla (TSLA) is no longer a favorite pick in 5i Research. Its CEO, Elon Musk, is working on many interesting projects. If revolutionary projects, such as the humanoid robot, are successful, they could bring billions to the company. I don’t own TSLA. What do you think about TSLA this year, next year, or in the future? Please comment. Thanks in advance.

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: If I were to pick only two themes for long term investment, they would likely be urban water supply and the electrification of North America. (Would appreciate your thoughts on those choices...).

Regarding electrification, I'm well positioned in energy providers, including green & conventional energy producers. I have a half position in HPS.a and a small amount of GRID. I am struggling to decide if I should move upstream into a copper producer (BHP?) or if I should stick with small caps like HPS.A to get more torque.

I'm retired and no longer young; my finances are solid. Most of my investments are with a professional manager. I keep about 20% for fun, but even the fun money is mostly in fairly blue chip stuff. It is in this small chunk that I shall play around, and I am okay with adding a bit of risk.

So the question is: raw material producer or end user stocks? Where would you head? Specific suggestions most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Q: What do you think about dollar tree. i bought it earlier this year. It had a bad earnings report and dropped a lot. Market over reaction?? Should I buy more ?

Q: What US equity ETF do you suggest for a very long time horizon (I’m in my 20s so likely will keep investing for decades)?

Earlier this year I had been adding to RSP since most of the gains were concentrated in the Mag 7. With the market having broadened out a bit, I’m not sure if I should keep adding to RSP or if I’m better off investing new money in VOO (or VTI).

Which of the 3 ETFs (RSP, VOO, VTI) would you expect to have the best long-term total return?

Q: Your opinion on this company for a nice way to invest in health care with good growth and not a lot of risk?
Thanks Again
