Investment Q&A

Q: Can you give me a list of 5 Canadian and 5 US stocks that you would recommend with yields above 3%.

Q: Hello 5i,

I am not thrilled with QCOM YTD -10%. NVIDIA +70% GOOGLE +64%

Do you think more patience is required or NVIDIA would be just a much better company at this point going forward? I am looking for growth and don't care (great deal) about the dividend (although it is nice to have). I know the valuation risk is different but it was the same risks in January yet the results speak for themselves.

Q: For the following stocks, can you provide a quick assessment of each and whether or not you believe they are a buy at current levels?

NVMI
RCII
NNDM
AHCO (AdaptHealth Corp. - doesn't show up in the dropdown menu)

Thank you!

Q: I read your Sept 10 answer to Mark but wonder how 5i reacts to today’s volality - it was upgraded to $140 from $ 115- volume over 36m - low of $102- do you see these as “ normal” for a high beta stock?

Q: I still think there is big potential for this stock, yet it still is not doing well. Despite their "Planned Innovations to Ignite the Next Era of Communications" which looks forward thinking to me, the market just doesn't seem interested.
Do you think it is still about, "Shares rotating from pandemic holders to longer term positions"? In your experience can you see this falling below $270-$250?

Thanks as always

Q: Peter your opinion on selling Verizon and buying Apple and Microsoft with the proceeds. Also what is the cost to buy and sell a stock with a full brokerage company

Q: Hi team,
Just looking for any new thoughts on Med? Any idea why it’s been weak lately? I don’t understand why this one is being sold off so aggressively after beating estimates last quarter, and you would think the “healthy living “ aspect of the company would be a strong trend right now ? I am -21% on it after today . Is it time to sell or hold? If sell , is there anything in particular you would deem a much better buy right now with the funds ? I hold this in a US cash account so if I was replacing it with something I would prefer it to be US listed . I am typically a long term holder , unless the story changes or there’s a much better opportunity that comes along .
Thanks

Q: I was just checking out the new iPhone 13 and saw that they use Affirm for buy now, pay later. I do own GSY, is there an advantage to also owning affirm? What do you think about buying it after the latest run-up? If buying, is it overinflated and is it better to wait for it to settle down? Thanks!

Q: Nucor keeps drifting lower. With infrastructure, an NB focus in the USA, is it worth continuing to hold or sell and move into another sector? Thanks.

Q: can you comment on each of the following, cybersecurity companies, in terms of which are likely to show the strongest growth in 1-2 years, with minimal likelihood of a pull back.

Q: Hi 5i,
Need help narrowing this list down to two stocks. Which ones have the best earning or projected earnings and balance sheets. Also what are the analysts saying any additional information is appreciated. Do you have any other ideas for small biotech?
Regards,

Q: I've become obsessed with Crowdstrike and apparently I'm not alone! It checks so many boxes for me but I'm hung up on its valuation. Out of curiosity I compared to plots of historical P/S of GOOG, FB, AMZN, NTFLX and none of them appear to have touched anywhere remotely near the ~60x that CRWD is currently trading at, except AMZN back in 2000 at close to 40x:) Maybe I'm missing something about such a high growth stock. I believe from your answers to other questions that you like it and it comes up on your top high growth US stocks.

My questions:

(1) In your opinion, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 is highest risk), what is the risk that CRWD has become so overvalued that it may not live up to its valuation and result in a long term capital loss?
(2) Can you provide some comments on how competitive the cloud-native/cloud endpoint security market is and whether you believe CRWD is likely to have a strong moat?
(3) Would you have any reservations about initiating a partial position with the intent to add as the story unfolds, at current levels (long term buy and hold)?

Q: Suggestions on how to invest to benefit from Biden’s proposed increased EV incentives to buy US manufactured electric vehicles? This potentially could speed up the transition (once the chip shortage is rectified).

Q: Would appreciate your take on FISV as have not had any comments since January 18. How have they done in their last quarter? Is this a stock to would buy, sell or hold?

Q: May I have your comments on this stock VLTA for a long term holder. Thank you for your great service!

Q: Hello 5i
In March of this year you thought HRI looked pretty good. It has risen 40+% since then. Do you still like it or has it become too expensive? Any other name in the same space that you like more?
Thank you so much!
Dave
