Investment Q&A

Q: After a great deal of scepticism, I have just begun dipping my toes into crypto. I have half a position in HOOD and would appreciate your advice on strategy going forward. As a balanced growth investor, how much exposure would you recommend in the crypto world? Assuming it's greater than the 2.5% currently held, how would you proceed? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
I have been holding Carrier, waiting for the quarterly results to take decision about holding it longer. On the surface the results look good. However the market does not like them.
What is your assessment of the results? It is not my core holding. Should I give it some time or deploy the proceeds elsewhere? I would like your opinion.
Regards.

Q: Jacobs Solutions Inc J:NYSE

In you opinion would this company be a buy right now?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
With Chipolte down by the price of a small taco today (45.45, down $7) does it still look expensive to you? I'm in no rush to buy but wonder if you have a suggestion as to a decent entry point. And any comments on new CEO?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Good morning 5i
could you please provide a number of US non dividend paying stocks that would be good for selling covered call options on in the current environment. thanks

Q: Why the volatility with URI over the last year, and the rise lately? Do you expect it to compound over the next five years as it has in the past five years?

Thanks

Q: May I have your thoughts on the “updated collaboration agreement” between Power Co. SE (Volkswagen) and QS? It seems the agreement has expanded up to 260 million USD from 130 million. According to QS some payments will be received in 2025. It appears to me that sales are anticipated. Profits and positive cash flow are likely still off in the distance. Is the company being de-risked? The stock is down today, possibly more was expected or we are seeing “Buy on rumour sell on news” reaction. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: I feel like I ask this question every few months, and suspect that it is a hard one to know with confidence- but here goes. The Trade Desk- it bounces up and down, recently with a drop over 50%. Does this look like a reliable bet going forward? Do you trust its momentum to continue near term? Is there an alternative you would recommend?

Thank you.

Q: Any public CDN or US companies that earn material revenues from used car sales that you would recommend?

Q: What is your take on Galaxy's participation in a group investing in Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) - not in your system - earlier in July?
I hold Galaxy but not Bitmine which invests in Ethereum but I would like to know about BMNR also.

Q: I hold partial positions in listed stocks. I would like to reduce and have a more concentrated sector holdings. Please advise those that can be dropped in favour of increasing the remainder and adding XLI for larger industrials. Could you rank with weights. What sector weight would you advise for total US and Cdn industrials? Thanks
My last question about ranking my industrial sector holdings, I omitted to add HEI and TDG. Hope you could add to your reply. THx

Q: Thoughts on these aerospace companies? TDG and HEI have been great compounders over long term and LOAR is a fairly newcomer. Can you compare the fundamentals against each other and if you wanted to buy now, how would you rank them? LOAR has higher growth potential but valuation is higher too. Thanks!

Q: looking at these insurers. could you give me your take on these companies.

Q: Fix again reported stellar results. My question is , does the company have an over reliance on the AI build or the build just icing on the cake .

Q: Since a few weeks amd seems becoming again interesting as a promising stock. Please tell me your thoughts on that and how amd would be in a better position now in view of the ai market development in the coming years.

Thank you for wonderful work you're doing

Q: In your opinion how safe is it hold AMD at the current price of this stock?

Do you see a reason to go higher or do you see a reason for the stock price to decrease?

Thank you.

Q: A you are aware ITA is a ETF focusing on the defence and aerospace sector. Is there a canadian ETF that I can buy on the TSX that accomplishes the same thing? As well what are your thoughts on GE. Would you recommend or do you think that it has run up too much and too quickly. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: In an otherwise diversified TFSA - I'm looking at adding a small (aggressive) position - given the current price on some of the above and many recent questions/comments on others - I've come up with some candidates.

Can you give me your thoughts on which one(s) you might choose?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: I currently hold half positions in GOOG and AMZN, and both positions show current gains. I also have a full position in GLBE, which is currently underwater. I'd like to consolidate and wonder what to sell and why. Long term hold and taxes not really a consideration. Many thanks
