Investment Q&A

Q: TSLA had a huge move up after three years of flatlining. It just broke through its all time high. Do you think this move is largely related to the market starting to price in future growth from FSD, Robotaxi, energy and Optimus? Do you think these lines of business will start to contribute to revenue in 2025 in a meaningful way? Appreciate your take.

Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Is it just me or why do I get the feeling this market is getting a bit “out of whack” in some areas . It looks to me like people are selling the solid winners such as Nvda , for names such as Tesla and Bitcoin. Am I the only one that thinks some of the moves made since Trump got in will end up painful when the hype fades and there’s no real meat to back the valuations ? It’s almost like the irrational excuberance phase has kicked in like it did at the end of 2021 before the tech sector crashed. Except this time only in certain high flying names.

Just looking for your take on things as they stand today. Stay the course ? Join the Tesla party and fly into the sun ? Or buy the laggards perhaps in undervalued areas (Gsy , or even add to nvda dip for example, or trim nvda if the justification is there …which I don’t think it is) . Hard question perhaps!

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Tesla or Magna if just one for the consumer discretionary sector?

Thx

Q: HI,
Is there a future for small EV manufacturers? Most of them are bankrupt or doing poorly (VMC, LEV, RIVN,NIO,LCID). I owned NFI in the past. Seems one of the last survivors, besides large American (TSLA, F, GM) or Chinese companies (LI, BYD). Would you invest in this sector, if somebody does not want to support chinese businesses? Which stocks would you find interesting right now, or post-Trump taking office? Could be stocks related to the sector, but less sensitive. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hi,
PLTR has had an incredible run but I believe the fundamentals are disconnected from the stock price. Trading at fwd P/E 150x and P/S 46x!! I believe this not sustainable with the estimated growth. What would PLTR have to grow rev and eps by for the next 5-10 years to get to this valuation? I'm looking to short PLTR and I know the risks of shorting stocks but I believe the risk/reward is good here and the stock will pullback. I am long the tech sector so this is somewhat of a hedge. Your thoughts?

Q: Hello
5is thoughts for a registered acct
3+ yr hold (assume usa 2028 election) recommendation & why ?

Q: I own an equal weight of UBER in my portfolio but none of TSLA. Could you please describe the correlation between UBER and TSLA. It seems that when TSLA rises UBER falls. Is this simply sentiment, anticipation of policy changes from the future US government, or is it related to actual fundamentals? Thanks as always for your excellent service.

Q: 5i, Looking to sell LLY TMDX stocks for loss harvesting , looking to buy TSLA, BRK.B to recover, for a 2 year hold, can you please share your opinion.
thanks

Q: So Elon's gamble of aligning himself with the Donald, appears to have been good for his stock. My 3% position in TSLA is now finally above even - which is the point I said I would sell and buy a tech ETF instead. But as TSLA might keep climbing, I'm now wondering if selling just my upside periodically, and keeping my position at 3%, might work - until the knife starts to fall again. In other words, is a bird in hand really worth two in the bush, and how hard is it to catch a falling knife?

Q: What are your thoughts on BITCOIN. What is best way to play it or is there one.? I do not understand the future of Bitcoin Who uses it ? Do countries use it, do Corporations use it. Do Banks use it ? What is benefit of using it,

I know criminals use it extortion payments Trump and Harris were backing it. Was this because 80,000,000 U S Residents use it so they were both saying Yes to get their vote ?

Q: Could you please comment on their results?

Thanks,

Q: I've never been inclined to invest in Tesla. Mostly because the stock price is largely influenced by what comes out of Elon's mouth. But there is no question the man is an innovator. And his new announcement of the Pi Phone looks like a game changer . I doubt if Apple or Samsung can pop up a satellite network anytime soon ..... Not to mention a low price point and solar charging. And for the youth that drives this market the damn thing just plain looks sexy ..... And of course at $250 it is light years below both Apple and Samsung price points.......Thus for the first time I am considering an investment in Tesla. What does 5i think of doing that solely based on this new product ? .... And is Tesla the company that owns the product or is it another of Elon's companies ? ....... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hello 5i:
I want to add to my AI exposure with a 3 – 5 year horizon.
I already have sufficient TSLA and AAPL, and moderate positions in NVDA and MSFT, and a starting position in PLTR.
What would be your choice(s) for adding to any of these, and/or starting new positions such as AVGO, DELL , TSM, or others? I have avoided GOOG due to possible breakup legislation.
Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: XTRA This company seems to totally fly under the market’s radar. It develops and produces AI tech to provide physical security access at large venues and events. Financials are out soon and optimism is high. Recent multiple new contracts with major sports franchises, arenas and stadiums. Some major player customers (Tesla etc). The technology ought to be deployed at every school entrance across the US. Its major competitor is facing multiple lawsuits over its inferior product and is now embroiled in the New York Mayor/New York Subway contracts scandal. Seems to me the stock price should be on a steep upward projectile, yet it has remained stagnant for ages. What it is about Xtract that the marker doesn’t seem to like? Or is there something more nefarious at play to keep the stock price stifled? Thanks for all your advice and mentoring.

Q: Can you please rank in order which of the stocks from best to worst you would Recommend today, and are there any that you would Not Recommend at this time (no ranking required)?


TMDX, PLTR, CECO, ASPN, AVAL, LAZR, BIDU, TSLA, VRT, ELMD, NXT, DRX.

Thank you

Q: The deal with Waymo seems like a slam dunk. This could lead to a full collaboration as robots proliferate. Thoughts?

Q: It seems Tesla (TSLA) is no longer a favorite pick in 5i Research. Its CEO, Elon Musk, is working on many interesting projects. If revolutionary projects, such as the humanoid robot, are successful, they could bring billions to the company. I don’t own TSLA. What do you think about TSLA this year, next year, or in the future? Please comment. Thanks in advance.

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: Do you have any recommendations for companies, U.S. or Canadian, that demonstrate good technologies involved in energy storage and smarter distribution systems. Any market cap is fine but fundamentals should be decent. Thanks.

Q: Hello, in an answer to a question back on March 8th of this year you indicated some attractive entry prices for the Canadian CDR's of the Magnificent 7. What would be your current attractive entry prices given the changes over the past few months and the recent reporting season?
