Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,
Your opinion and suggestions please.

There seems to be a consensus emerging that China and the emerging markets in particular will outperform the US markets. Do you think the same? I understand that 5i does not research international markets. Nonetheless I would appreciate it if you could suggest sectors and stocks from China and elsewhere; within your knowledge sphere.
I heard the German Chancellor in Davos mentioning deregulatory reforms as well as refrain from looking at outside capital markets(US) as a source of capital. And I believe that Trump threatened Europe with retaliation if they sold off US assets. The dollar has ben weak and probably goes even lower. That should bode well for international markets.
It would be great for us subscribers if 5i expanded its research even if limited, to international markets, particularly China. Any chance of that happening in the near future?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Good morning and best wishes for 2026
Your comments on BIDU and is it investable
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Good morning, I am looking for an alternative to big American tech. Hopefully in Europe or perhaps Asia. When large Canadian pension plans are moving away from US investments, I think this is worth exploring. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Knowing that you do not cover China, would you consider investment in any Chinese securities at this time ? If so, please indicate stocks of interest.
Thank you.

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: Good morning, your thoughts/comments on replacing BIDU with AMZN, thanks, Peter

Q: After substantial declines in both stocks and being aware of political risk sentiments, which one of the two would be a better option currently?
Thank you!

Q: Your thoughts on BIDU? Any better options here?

Q: Your thoughts on BIDU? Too risky based on China crackdown on internet companies? Or, a buying opportunity as with all storms, this too will pass?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I'm thinking if adding this company to my American holdings. Should I go ahead with the purchase?

Q: Hi,
Could you comment on my profolio for a 5 year hold? Should I add/remove/replace any of the stocks?
Also, Cathie Wood said she is expecting a drop of the market this year. However I currently have ZERO cash position. Do you think I should trim my profolio to have some cash? If yes how much percent do you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: I have no exposure to China. What can you recommend as an ETF for growth over the next 5 years including some individual companies.

Thanks Peter

Q: I am thinking of adding the following positions to my portfolio at about 2.5% each, would like your opinion on prospects for the following companies: bidi (Baidu); SONO; Mu (Micron); AMBA (Ambarella);; espo (VanEck e gaming etf); find (global fintech etf). These are all a play on the 5G rollout/stay at home revolution/play at home, your comments would be most welcome

Q: I would like to start investing in Chinese technology companies. What would you suggest?

Q: Could you please give your buy/sell/hold recommendation on Baidu and Gamesys GYS and your overall opinion on these companies for a 2 to 3 year investment. Are these companies undervalued at this time. Thanks

Q: I know you don't do us listing/ chinese companies much, but BIDU has come down a lot and I am wondering if this is an attractive entry point for a long term investor? Is it just NA/ China worries that is causing the pullback?

Q: Hello! Can you tell me if there is an etf that holds Chinese technology companies Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent? Thanks

Q: Please comment on their earning .Thanks.

Q: I am thinking of shifting my portfolio to overweight Chinese equities such as Baidu, Ctrip, Iqiyi, NIO, JD.com, BABA, Tencent. I have a very high risk tolerance and these are all long term holds 10+ years if needed. Couple of questions, firstly any red flags in any of these names. Secondly, what do you think of Chinese equities in general? My thesis is that the Chinese market sold off aggressively last year and valuations look cheap. Trade wars seems to have been priced in and if we get some type of deal potential upside there. I know the economy is slowing, but I believe this is priced in also as thats all I hear almost on a daily basis from BNN, Bloomberg, CNBC, etc. Also, the possibility of stimulus and rate cuts seem bullish for the equities. Your thoughts? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,
Thanks for the great service Peter and Ryan. It is trying times for portfolios

We picked up AMZN (2%), KXS (1%), ZCH (2%) and GOOGL (1%) in the last few days. Also owned is BABA (3%), NVDA (2%). We have 25% in cash available. Is tech recommended to be 15% or 20% of a portfolio as of today with all the recent drops? I am going against the grain here for a bump up in 2019. Of AMZN, BABA, KXS, GOOGL, FB, MFST, BIDU, & PHO, and an outlier BYD.UN which 2-3 stocks are most appealing for a recovery?

Cheers
Jerry and Debbie
