Investment Q&A

Q: I own the above listed US Stocks. Please rate each one as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and the reasons for your rating.

Q: Can you explain how Nebius expects to become profitable, and when?

Despite the nice Microsoft contract, its business has very high capital expenditures to pay for data centres, latest GPUs, power, humans, etc. I wonder about things like how much cash it has, how long that will last, the cost of its capital, how it raises capital, the risk of inflation on costs, etc. I also wonder if it's other businesses (Toloka, Avride, Triple 10 and Clickhouse) are at all priced in, and whether any of these would possibly be spun out.

Any further insights you might have would be appreciated.

Q: With the the huge future revenues announced from Oracle yesterday what are some other companies in similar space or competitors that could also benefit?

Thx

Q: Thanks for NBIS! Any new calls that you like that could go the NBIS way? Thanks in advance.

Q: Visa’s business model has come under attack this year by alternate digital payment systems, including coins. And this morning KLARNA which goes public, and its Swedish CEO confidently asserted it will take business away from credit card companies. Swedes are not given to bragging so I take KLAR seriously. I am tempted to sell Visa and invest the proceeds in COF or AXP, whom I see as credit card companies that do more than collect tolls.

Am I wrong in thinking this? Is Visa management’s past record such that they are nimble enough , tech-savvy enough to deal with recent challenges?

Q: Hi team,
What’s your latest take on Clbt? Is it worth holding for a hopeful recovery ? Or is there overall”better” growth names a guy should own instead right now ? Names I was debating replacing Clbt with were APP, Hood , Geni. Of these 4 names mentioned how would you rank them for potential over the next few years? Or is there another top pick of another US name you would choose today?

Thanks
Shane

Q: Some of the higher risk, more speculative names you've expressed as being interesting have very high short interest:

TMDX: 42%
SOUN: 33%
WULF: 31%

How much would this impact your investment making decision and are there any extra considerations you take into account?

Q: Hello Team,

Would you sell full position in XYZ to buy HOOD? Would you buy now or wait for a pull back in HOOD? Say around $105? I am looking for real/stable growth over long periods of time.

Thank you for sharing your insight into these two companies.

Best,
Saeed :)

Q: We have held ABBV for the past five years in our two RRIF accounts. It is now a 4.1% position with a 120% gain. Is it time to take profits and move on, given that the dividend is now at a yield just around 3%. Are there better health care dividend growth positions? ETF's or single stocks. It is a solid company. Is it best to just keep holding.

Q: Hi 5i, may I have your thoughts on Honeywell vs RTX? Looking for a US industrial and if you could list your top 5, looking for a large cap. Thx.

Q: A couple of days ago I think VW released a video showing the performance of a Ducati motorcycle using a QS battery. The stock responded with a 20% increase on high volume. The stock gave up 10% the next day, but that’s OK. EV Motorbikes exist but they seem to be fairly small and slow. My question…do you think the Ducati is a powerful racing type of bike so it is reasonable to infer that QS’s battery is more powerful than the current battery technology?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Oracle's outlook seems to have reverberated through adjacent companies with VRT, MOD, etc., etc., all popping. Ellison has made some pretty remarkable statements about expected growth over the next 4 years, and he does not appear, to me anyway, to be overselling.

My question is about three areas to look at:
1) Other cloud service providers.
2) The nuts and bolts builders of the data centers.
3) Companies in the electrical storage areas that might service the above.

However I have one main caveat, I am only interested in companies that have not had a 1,000% gain in the last 5 years. I know that might seem like a ridiculous criterion, but I keep imagining MOD or STRL investors running for the hills on a serious market pullback.

Thank-you again.

Q: Hi,
I know, lots of names here - feel free to take extra points. These mostly looks pretty good to me technically and I believe they've had good earnings. Of the list which are your favourites? Do any have negative things to be aware of, and if buying what order might you accumulate them in?
Many thanks for all your helpful insight!

Q: Can you evaluate the potential growth of SERV? I saw it as one of 16 names in AI that Wedbush was profiling as an under the radar play among larger players. Average target prices suggest 66% (from what Trade shows) upside which makes me skeptical. Is the autonomous delivery market big enough to justify this optimism? Small market cap and pretty flat this year. Worth a small position or too speculative?

Q: Hi again,
Like CLS, these stocks have risen quickly and might be overvalued. Like CLS, some analysts seem to think the ride can continue.
Would you be comfortable initiating a position, at which price and why, please?
Thank you

Q: Given recent big leap in share prices of both companies, especially ORCL earnings were a slightly miss while NBIS's recent financing, both shares are still a buy now, or waiting for the hyper to be settled for a better entry point ? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I thought I asked this question but maybe it didn’t go through.
The last question on ROOT you indicated it looked good but it was very expensive.
Now that it has dropped 30+% how does it look?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What would you consider a good entry price for Netflix today?

Q: Good afternoon,

I have been purchasing ISRG on its' slide, taking advantage of lower price points then stopping a few months ago at 1/2 a position.

You provided some comment on the company last week, and I would like to follow up

- below what price do you view ISRG stock as a clear buy opportunity?
- would you buy in small bites if this decline continues or at this point hold until something catalyzes the stocks rise?
- what are the factors causing the continued downward drift at this time?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I have a question about 442
why is ISRG down so much? thanks Richard
