Investment Q&A

Q: Can u pick your 3 best choices and why for a long term hold in this market area? Is it too concentrated to own all of them? Are there any CDN examples of these home builder companies you recommend?

Q: Hi Team,
Currently for healthcare exposure I own VEEV and WELL. I was considering replacing VEEV with either LLY or UNH. Would this be advisable? If so, which one would you recommend? Also, regarding Well would you recommend continuing to hold it; or selling it to make a switch for either LLY or UNH as well? What sort of mix here would you recommend? I am looking for long term growth here. Lastly...do you see the healthcare sector in general to be a good place to be right now?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Can you provide a current outlook on these two from a valuation perspective

Q: Good Morning, Can I please get your opinion on the recent earnings of Viemed and Profound Medical? Are they worth holding for several more quarters, or is it perhaps time to move on. I know you don't have many ideas for Canadian healthcare stocks, other than WELL (which I own), but if you wanted to switch to another CDN or US healthcare stock, what might you consider? Thanks. Brad

Q: If someone had to purchase 1 etf in their portfolio, would you say that this is the best one even though it is pricey. Thank you

Q: Good Day,

I picked up CELH and CROX based on the answer to my last question, and added in POWL to boot. Based on my portfolio in my previous question, was POWL something you would consider redundant in my account, or would you be fine with that type of addition in your portfolio.

I have been holding SNPS and CDNS for a minute now, and it just seems to bounce back and forth between +5% and -5%. Are these mostly growers on news and earnings? What are their respective Expected growth rates over the next 1 and 2 years?

This brings me to almost "fully deployed". I have noticed in the last couple weeks that the volatility in the market seems to have increased, and the average of that volatility seems to be sort of flat over this time. I have seen some videos and articles calling for the "AI Bubble" to burst, etc. Do you think there will be a cooling in that space coming? and if that occurs will the market follow it? I've seen many replies where you state that NVDA has a clear 18 month runway for growth, and thus I imagine the companies that support it as well, does that still hold true in your view? If said cooling could be coming, would it be worth the fees to say, shrink/cut some positions? Or is that too much like timing the market and thus better to stay in?

Thanks for everything,

Q: Hello,
For a 25 year old passive investor with 20K US available , which of the above would you suggest for a long term hold? or would you suggest alternative(s)
Thanks
Carlo

Q: I want to buy the above 6 stocks at a full position of each in a balanced portfolio for a long time hold. Are there any you wouldn't buy at this time and continue to watch, or any you would buy a half position and watch? Thanks!

Q: I have long held both and am intrigued as they now move in opposite directions. Within the last few months I believe MARA has reached heights 50% greater than today's levels and yet despite the spike in BTC, it falls while MSTR rolls. I understand that MSTR is closer to a pure play on bitcoin whereas MARA is a miner and has operating risks and would ask if you can explain what has led to MARA being punished as BTC rose from 50k to 70? If gold goes up, so to do most miners so I'm thinking there as to be more to the story. Lastly, if you believe BTC goes higher, does exposure to a company like MARA who stand to benefit make sense to add or hold?

Q: Has the US high tech sector peaked in price yet, or would you recommend 4 stocks with lots of upside pls?

Q: Hi everyone!! I have been thinking of adding these two names to my portfolio . What are your thoughts on their long term growth prospects???

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: I am looking for a US listed ETF that holds US listed Dividend Growing Equities. I have found RDVY (First Trust Rising Dividend ETF) and CUD (Ishares US Dividend Growers). Both have relatively high MERs for ETFs (0.49 % and 0.6% respectively). Both have a current distribution of around 2% yield. Is there anything else out there in this segment of the market ? While CUD is hedged I am not too concerned about that at this time. Would you prefer one of these over the other or would you think splitting between the two. I will be holding them in my RRSP and am looking to invest around 1% of my total RRSP holdings in this investment.

Q: Hi 5i,

I've been considering swapping out FSLR for the new GEV when it starts trading. Do you like either or both? Which do you think has better growth going forward. FSLR has been a tough one to hold for me. TIA

Q: Good morning,

In one response to a question on the choice of a International exposure ETF, the 5i preference was VEQT, XEQT and XWD in that order.

Q1. Has you opinion of the order of these Global ETFs changed in any way and given XWD's 5 and 10 year performance?

Q2. Would you kindly explain your rational for ranking XWD ahead of VEQT and XEQT and even HEQT.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing your response.

Q: With the advent of AI talk is about the energy and infrastructure needed to support Ai ie the plumbing behind A1. What companies in Canada and US will benefit from the surge in A1. Is it energy companies or utility companies? Can you name a few stocks to investigate,

Q: I am currently underweight Health and Financials in the U.S. Can you please provide your top 3-5 picks for each based on current valuations and considering a 5 year+ timeframe??

Q: Last September, you preferred HMC to TM, deeming the former both better and less expensive. Since then, HMC's price has reclaimed its previous high, while TM's has exceeded its high by ~50%, yet their P/E ratios are both miniscule and near-equivalent (0.14 and 0.13, respectively, according to your database.)

Do you still prefer HMC? I ask as TM's semi-contrarian approach to vehicular electrification is starting to look like a better fit with orthodox market expectations than their competitors'.

And what's going on with those P/E ratios? Stellantis and GM are ~5, Ford is ~11; is this much disparity even plausible?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

To a question today on KKR, you had mentioned that you wouldn't be averse to adding to KKR "s position slowly.
Recently Larry Berman one of BNN Bloomberg's regular told the viewers that he has sold his equity and moved all into private equity and private credit lending. He didn't mention which private equity he bought !

BLK,BX,KKR,BN ...which is your favourite now? Anything else that catches your attention?

Many thanks.

Q: I currently hold 100 shares of JFrog, which have incurred a 27% loss. I’m uncertain about the future prospects of this stock. Should I consider selling it or holding onto it? These shares are held in my TFSA account. Thank you.

Q: May you provide an update on POOl. It was a frequent mention of your’s in the past.

How compelling does it appear currently?
Where does it rank in your favorites in the US consumer discretionary picks? If possible, suggest your ingest conviction names and include your ranking.

Thank you for your excellent service, as usual.
