Investment Q&A

Q: Thoughts on DoorDash?

Q: Regarding AAPL, what position size would you be comfortable with for a long-term hold in a moderate-risk portfolio?
Thanks as always.

Q: CSCO is one of my core and long term holds. Lost money and made money and now after so many years I am sitting with very significant gains.

The question is this: Under the current AI craze and momentum and things changing so rapidly, should one hold and let it run the course or sell it and move it to AI based stocks. (I already have some of your favourites like GOOG and NVDA.)

Where does CSCO fit in the new AI paradigm shift?

Many thanks.

Q: Between OKTA and S which would you invest in going forward, or is there another that is better. If Crowdstrike and Zscaler are your choices, where else would you deploy money.
Thanks Matthew

Q: NVDA has been kind of left in the dust this year, up "only" 39%. LRCX, though, is up 90%, WDC is up 185% and SEA is up 190%. All good for me since I own all four but I'm wondering why the market seems to have turned away from NVDA. Especially in the last month, SEA and WDC are up 48% and 58% respectively, in the last thirty days.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I would like your thoughts about Adobe who recently got a lot of downgrades from major investment houses of renown. Is AI going to affect their business to such extent? The same thing was said about Google a few months sho which lately rebounded quite nicely. Can they both be in the same boat? Thank you for your always interesting views. Adel

Q: Would like your opinion on this stock- seems like a massive move due to AI - is it sustainable or too late? I guess the short thesis isn't working ...

Q: Hi 5i
What is your outlook for rddt today going forward, and who are the competitors for them With the current SP decline would this be an opportunity to start small position? At what price would 5i be interested.
Thx

Q: What would be your top 5, US small/mid cap stocks today? What would be good entry points?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Thanks for this idea, Bloomberg Space profiled the satellite imagery industry as in high demand, especially in Europe:

"The rebranding comes during a lucrative year for Earth observation companies like Vantor and competitors like Planet Labs and BlackSky Technology. These firms have seen a spike in deals, revenue and stock prices as countries realize the need for real-time Earth observation data in an increasingly unstable and geopolitically tense world.

European nations in particular have been driving this demand as they seek to lessen their reliance on the US for space-based military capabilities. In March, President Donald Trump’s administration temporarily suspended satellite imagery sharing with Ukraine, which is used to inform the location of Russian troops and infrastructure damage during the war."

Q: I am currently overweight tech in general (36%) and NBIS (9%) in particular. I reluctantly feel I need to reduce my exposure to NBIS and, as I am underweight industrials, am in search of suggestions for growth-focused US industrials. Would you kindly provide 3-5 names of mid to large cap industrials you are reasonably confident can match or outperform the NASDAQ over time? AXON and WSP already held. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
Any specific reason on why RDDT is down so much today and yesterday? I am not seeing any specific news. Or is it just crazy volatility at work here like a lot of these growth names lately? Would you consider the recent weakness a time to add or hold at this point?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: I may have missed it in another question already asked and apologies if so. Given that this company is based in Europe will it not be negatively impacted by US Tariffs even though they are partnered with Nvidia and Microsoft? If so to what degree would you think that may impact their operations going forward?

Q: Hi there, what are your current overall favourites names in the US space for growth with a decent risk to reward (ie: not looking for all or bust type names).

Thanks!

Q: Yesterday a FDA official gave very negative opinions and comments on Aurinia pharmaceuticals then removed them at end of trading day. Volume went up to almost 8million shares and stock was crushed. This stinks to high heaven. What do you folks think of this and will there be law suits maybe officials checking into short covering etc. Also how long will the cloud remain over this stock it was just taking off when all this happened.

Q: Hello,
What do you think of buying the Lululemon dip ?
Thanks !

Q: We hold most of the 5i Balanced and some of the income portfolio stocks plus the fallowing us stocks. amzn, brk.b, cost, goog, isrg, lly, msft, nvda, smci, vrt, v. Berkshire is over 8% and the others are 5% please suggest a couple of us names to add to this portfolio. or any to trim. ( US is a growth portfolio ).
Thank you for your superb service over more than 10 years. Ian

Q: Please ignore my previous question . I accidentally hit the send button before I had finished editing it .......Here is the same question after editing .......

I've been enjoying the amount of option related dividends going into my account monthly. I call it Taco investing . Trump announces something stupid and then backs off . This creates volatility in the options market creating higher option premiums . What I have ....

GDXY ...... 9% position .

SLVO ...... 3.2% position

HPYT ...... 3.79% position

HYLD ......6.72% position { the lowest yield at 11.2% } May replace wtih SDAY or start a new position .

I'm looking to increase my exposure to " honking big dividends " in the 14% or better category .... My shortlist includes UMAX { 14.83% yield } and ECAT { 22% yield } I realize the higher the yield the higher the risk.....But could 5i give me three names other than the two mentioned above that you think are interesting at 14% or better and three you find interesting above 18% ..... Accompanied by a brief comment on the risks ........ I used the word " interesting " as opposed to " what 5i likes " to reflect the associated risks of high yield investing ......Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Please give me your thoughts on this two companies as growth prospects in AI industry? Which one is better than the other?

Thank you very much

Q: I bought 125 shares 2 weeks ago waiting on the release of Battle Star 6 on October 10th.
To my pleasant surprise the take over was announced last Friday. Would you hold into 2026 for completion or take a little less now and move on?
