Investment Q&A

Q: I am currently doing my quarterly rebalancing of my portfolio. I need to up my US equity holdings. My current US holdings are AAPL, BRK.B,XOM, JPM, MSFT, MCD, V. What are your favorite long term US holdings right now ?

Q: Could you provide a revised outlook on Tenable Holdings? It has been relatively flat for some time, so wanted your thoughts on whether this is a buy, sell, or hold.

Q: So much news these days about the ramp up to electric vehicles and the eventual elimination of internal combustion engines.

Governments have committed to installing charging stations to accommodate future demand.

What is the current status of power generating facilities. How easily can they ramp up supply to satisfy the future demand or is there already enough capacity.

What are your favourite Canadian and US power generators to satisfy this demand. Thank you

Q: Please comment on the above stocks. Would you buy these at current levels. If not which USA stock would you recommend instead of these.

Q: Clean Harbors was recently put forward on BNN as a business that quietly makes money working with bigger, better known businesses. The chart looks good over many years. But seems to have a lot of debt. What do you think of this business for new money? Too expensive?

Thanks for all your help,

Mike

Q: Have about $18.0 K U.S. that I would like to put to work for 30 to 40 months. Would appreciate suggestions - ETF or individual security. Sector not too relevant although, like most Cdn, investors, I am overweight financlals and resources. Keeping the funds in U.S., a mix of capital appreciation and reinvested dividends would be nice. Thanks for all the 5i Team do and a shout out to all the members whose thoughtful questions have helped me in recent years.

Q: Would you feel comfortable buying AXON at today’s price ? I’m waiting that dip, however continues to hit all time highs.

Q: What are the reasons that make PLTR stocks keep going up? Looks expensive from every metrics. Is the stock a sell now?

Thanks,

Q: Greetings. Seeking a TSX traded in Cdn dollars ETF non-hedged that holds as a majority of its portfolio US equities the likes of AMZN AVGO MSFT PALO ALTO NETFLIX GOOG META NVDA or most of them and similars since wishing to sell a variety of these types of equities currently held as hedged CDRs in a registered account. Methinks the CDN dollar is destined for a fall at some point so wishing to remove CDR hedging. Please comment if this doesn't agree with your view aside from the difficulty in predicting currency moves. Thank you for any suggestions.

Q: What happened to Humana ? Thoughts on the future and an investment ? Thx

Q: Hi team,
What's your take in NVDA announcement yesterday regarding the partnership with Accentra. Jensen had also mentioned in his interview that Blackwell chip demand is now "insane". NVDA stock has been essentially flat now since June. Do you see this as a healthy consolidation period with potential to breakout for another leg up? Or a caution sign? What's your prediction for the stock from here in the short to medium term? Is it time to buy more/ hold/ or take caution with a trim? Lately it feels like the NVDA stock run is over...but in my view AI is just getting started.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Based on the webinar that Chris presented it appears that the equal-weight S&P 500 has lagged compared to the market-weight S&P 500. Based on this I suspect you would recommend having some exposure to the equal-weight S&P 500? If so, what would be a good ETF that you would recommend or are there any individual stocks within the equal-weight S&P 500 that you think might have a bit more upside than the average?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hi,
Once again, NVDA is in the news - for Huang Jensen's comment today that sales of their Blackwell chips "is insane" and also for the fact that Mark A Stevens sold just over 200 thousand shares at the end of Sept. Jensen himself has also been a seller, however I see that he still holds some 800+ million shares, and Stevens retains 38 million post Sept sales. These insider sales make news, but how worried should we be when we see this sort of volume? Logic tells me that Stevens' amounts to around 1/2 a percent of what he owns, Jensen's recent sale is about .001 of his total. Would you just ignore the insider sales and focus on the high interest generated by the Blackwell chips?
As always, you're clear headed thinking is appreciated - thanks!

Q: I have considerable difficulty justifying TDOC’s fall from around $300 to present day levels of about $9, after a further low, in the absence of malfeasance, some sort of conceptual shortfall or some other equally catastrophic event. While I also disagree with much of what Warren Buffet says the exception is his dictate “know your company”, as each commitment of your “hard earned” funds is a commitment in that particular company. While that achievement may take a while it is essential.

On this side of the border we have WELL which is involved in a similar industry, and for want of a better description continues to disappoint after a significant (four year) gestation period during which it should have found its feet, which I suggest indicates an undeclared conceptual difficulty which was either not anticipated or whose execution has taken much longer than anticipated to adjust to and accommodate.

Your observations and prospects for WELL would be appreciated along if possible with some indication of TDOC fortunes. I look forward to your response.

Q: I believe that the traditional "weight loss advisory" firms will recover especially once some of the attendant health risks from such drugs as Ozempic become better known. Does this theory resonate with you and, if so, which Weight Watcher-type firms do you like?
Best regards,
David

Q: Peter; Would you add to NET at these levels? Thanks.

Q: I hold shares of Jacobs Solutions Inc. (J). My online broker informed me that for each share of Jacobs Solutions Inc. I own, I will receive one share of Amentum (AMTM). What should we do with these new Amentum shares? What is the outlook for Amentum compared to Jacobs Solutions? Thank you for your help

Q: What are you thoughts about the class action lawsuit against LULU? Can you give an assessment of the management, how significant the allegations are if true, and in your experience whether more negative findings will come to light?

Q: Can I have your opinion on this company. It seems to keep going up every day.

What would be a good entry point if there is a pullback in the market?
