Investment Q&A

Q: Do you have an opinion as to when these tech stocks will stop going down, I own them all and want to purchase more to average down (buy the dip) Just looking for your opinion, thank you!

Q: What's the matter with these very good companies?
Thank you Peter.

Q: portfolio- with recent scenario (new us president) looks like people moving to more growth oriented names. as such what would be recommended sector allocation. thanks

Q: I hold XQQ and have a small gain. In light of the US election result would you recommend holding on to this etf? Or, would you switch to a Dow based etf? Thanks, Bill

Q: Can you please provide your opinion of Seagate Technology (STX). Buy, sell or hold?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Given the "new" political landscape in the US, which sectors should do well ?

Q: Due to Trump's election and his political/economic agenda, would you recommend taking up a position in an American Equity fund at this time? Or, would it be wiser to "Wait and See" because of the market's current unpredictability/volatility? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

Based on the U.S. election result and the change in tone in Washington towards a more pro growth and pro inflation scenario, can you recommend some CDN and U.S. cyclical stocks that could do well in this environment? I'm looking to trim defensive and interest rate sensitive stocks and establish positions in more cyclical industries.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Hello,

I am looking at CBI, Chicago Bridge and Iron. Do you know the company and how would you rate them? Thank-you.

Q: Please provide two ETFs on US banks / llifeco that you think would do well in the next 2 years! Thanks!

Q: Given the pullback in tech stocks, does Alphabet represent a good at this level ?

Thanks

Dave

Q: This used to pay high dividends but was recently reduced to 3 cents / quarter and most recently, nil. Business is bad (depending on international trade). However it has been rising strongly in recent days. What do I make of it?

Q: please advise your feelings about this etf

Q: I would appreciate your current views on this stock as a longer term position. I have a 2/3 of a position at the moment and am considering deploying some cash to bring it up to a full position.

Thanks,
Jeff

Q: Pepsi and Proctor and Gamble have both thaken about a four percent loss today. Pepsi took a loss yesterday, too, I believe because of sugar tax being imposed in certain cities. I am thinking about adding to my positions in these two on this drop. But, it seems to be a fairly large drop and I don't see any reason for it. I would, as usually, greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
thanks

Q: Half-joking (?) musings re the decline in US tech and possible factors related to the election

- immigration issues to exacerbate shortage of qualified tech workers?

- tech CEOs, other than Peter Thiel, on the hit list being compiled?

Q: I have held Disney for nearly two years and am down slightly. I am wondering if it is time to move on. Do you see it getting back to its highs of $120 any time soon?
I am looking at the sector rotations and thinking this could be a source of cash especially if you come out with your list of stocks to watch out. The market has been hardly cautious.

Q: Is it a good/bad time to buy and hold this etf for the long term?

Q: Hi 5i,

Although not in your coverage I have watched NVDA frequently over the past year and not moved on it thinking there was a little too much hype, too early. The latest results are telling me the hype was actually underestimated by many. You always seem to be fairly positive on the future of VR, AI, and self-driving cars. Just wondering if you believe these latest results are a sign of good things and some sustainability in the future of their business?

Thanks,

Joe

Q: 5i,
From all of us who purchased Nvdia on your enthusiasm THANK YOU!
Now from a portfolio management perspective, with the stock up 114% year to date, and perhaps popping in the 20% range today, should investors take some off the table (as 5i did with some of its winners in the summer) perhaps to purchase more in the future. IT stocks are otherwise getting trimmed in market and the NASDAQ facing pressure. It looks as though the growth prospects for NVDA are good, but seem tied to TESLA. Stocks like Tesla may face pressure with a Trump presidency.

When last asked about weighting, 5i suggested 15% for Info. Tech (Sept 26), with the usual "weighting is a personal/situational decision". For the average 5i (model portfolio style investor) what would you suggest today for an info. tech weighting based on this evolving US investing environment?

thanks for the great service, kathleen
