Q: If as Satya Nadella says we are moving from being chip constrained to power constrained, what are the best stocks to play this theme? Would you look to data center power and cooling innovators or renewable energy and storage companies or something else?

Q: Good morning,

I've added to the positive momentum on LLY.
Would you still consider adding to NVO if already held?

An averaging down on the stock for that sector of a portfolio? Basically a decision on balancing or potential momentum with all the weakness of late.

Thank you.

Q: What are your current thoughts on uranium investments?

If you are bullish on uranium, what do you recommend to replace it with in $US?

Q: Hi Team,
UNH is one that rarely seems to selloff. With my experience it’s often a good time to buy quality names when they are on sale. Does it look like UNH is at a good buy level today? Today it’s bouncing a little after many days of selling off.
Next part of the question. I would be looking at trimming a little of either Gsy or Nvda to purchase UNH if I choose to go ahead with the trade . Which would you prefer to trim today? Both Gsy and Nvda are equally overweight for me and in a non registered account with capital gains incurred if I sell. However I have enough built up tax losses at the moment to offset the sale. I hate to sell either one of Gsy or Nvda but with the weightings it makes most sense in my portfolio . Does this trade make sense to you?

Thanks,
Shane

Q: What are your thoughts on these two, what do you think of how management have handled the company in the last few years? Are these companies (overly?) reliant on interest rates?

How do you view the market reaction and where do you think sp goes from here...would 5i Take any action on this news?

How would 5i expect these results to affect HIMS going forward and would 5i be interested in starting small position in HIMS...if so, at what price would you consider reasonable.
thx

Q: Good entry point for a long term position?

Q: Someone sent me a useful update on PLUG just over a year ago - I would appreciate an update - inc current prospects - as it looks as though it might be making a base etc and I wondered if they had got their financing sorted. On PTK do you know who offered them financing and if they are a credible - and supportive - player.

Q: Hi Folks,
I have a position in BKNG and would like to add to it after Wednesdays drop - may I have your opinion on the state of the company and whether adding to it at this time would be prudent.

Q: With the recent declines, in what order will you invest in the above mentioned companies and why

Q: I have two questions re: tax loss selling. I have a three year old gain that I can offset by selling the above holdings.

1. First please help me with the math. If I buy a stock for $100, sell it for $90, I have a loss of $10 which would mean I can expect a $2.50 tax loss at a 25% rate. Does this mean that if I wanted to buy the stock back after 30 days, I would only be better off if I buy it back at less than 92.50 per share? Do you have a threshold whereby you must be down by a certain amount to justify a tax loss sale? e.g. 20%? Unless of course you are walking away from a company.

2. Which of the companies listed would you consider buying back after 30 days? I have too many holdings as it is so may just let them all go unless something is particularly interesting. I am overweight technology, underweight everything else but otherwise have a broad mix of funds and stocks.

Q: I am surprised at the drop on earnings from Cintas $CTAS. Please comment.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you explain the recent drop in IES holdings. I have read something about an acquisition but I don't quite understand IESC's involvement in it. Is there any negative fundamental change recently. Thanks.
