Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would I be correct in saying that your recent answers are showing a preference for VRT rather than SMCI or ALAB? Can you rate each of the three on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being a strong buy) and at what level you would buy each? Also, if you have in fact shifted slightly away from SMCI and to VRT as a fav, what makes it more desirable?

Q: You can't argue with the success of BRK.B, but I do struggle with Apple at 50% of the portfolio weighting. It looks more like a bet on Apple than an investment in a diversfied portfolio. I wonder if BRK.B could achieve better returns if it was equally weighted across the sectors?

Thank you.

Q: Greetings 5i Team,

Wondering if I can get your current opinion on Nextracker? Seems I may have had some unfortunate timing with my recent purchase of this company, as it's now down 26%. Is this some short-term manipulation and shorting by large hedge funds? My understanding is that it has realized big SP pops after the last few earnings releases. In anticipation of a repeat performance in the upcoming May release, might it be a good time to do some buying (ignoring the usual advice that you're not big fans of averaging down)? Thanks. Brad

Q: With US GDP down and inflation creeping up, what is the FED to do now? Cut rates and inflation will increase. Increase rates and economy could crash. Are we headed for stagflation? In these times, how should investors proceed and which sectors do well and don't do well. For a long term investor like myself, how should we position? Thoughts? I'm high on Technology, Financials, Consumer cyclical, and Industrials. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
After earnings release today (APR 25) SP price dropped 12% .....how do you view their outlook for recovery.... is this an opportunity or is risk not worth the reward.... As usual is the current dividend safe and sustainable or is this another potential issue the company must address.

Current shareholder, but time frame is only about 2 years....trying to make decision take loss or hold... Dividend of course is important...

thx

Q: Your thoughts on earnings please.

Do you have a preference for holding this in CAD vs USD?

Which would do better in a market 'event' in which investors rush to buy USD for safety. Would the CAD shares do better on a relative basis to the USD shares?

Thanks!T
