Investment Q&A

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: I China investable at this stage?
These companies are the lowest P/E Would invest in them?

Q: What is the best way to buy this stock? Is the PNK market legitimate?

Q: Hello Peter,
What is the difference between byddf and byddy and does it matter which one i invest in.. I believe both are over the counter and if so, is there risk in buying over the counter? Lastly, do you see byd company as a major competitor to TSLA and would a small position make sense at this point or have I missed the boat? Much appreciated.

Q: Hi
I have three questions.
I am confused about market cap of a stock. Let me illustrate by way of example.
Company X lists for the first time on a stock exchange. It sells a lot of shares and captures, maybe, a windfall. The money is used to grow the company. Without any rationale, the share price drops and drops until it is worth next to nothing. The company is still operating and generating profits. In theory, can the company operations not be oblivious to the drop in share prices, as long as it still has sell-able products or services and is generating profits? Or do the value of the share price affect the company's operations?
The other thing I'm confused about is the value of the assets, goods and services possessed by a company. Assuming the value of these assets was much greater than the market cap, it seems unfair that the market cap could be seriously skewed by at the whim of shareholders. I don't have any examples but I assume there are some.
Lastly, can you please compare Tesla to BYDDF and fundamental basis?

Q: Do you have any stocks you can recommend in the battery space? I'm seeing lots of hype about solid state batteries and other battery chemistries. With the electrification of everything, battery tech is going to continue to evolve and demand seems to be massive.
Looking for both startups and established businesses.

Thanks

Jim

Q: Hi 5i,

May I please have your current thoughts on EV makers other than Tesla (which I already own)?
Are companies such as Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Nio etc. (or any others you can suggest) worth investing in as a stock?
Multiple questions here, but if you could give a brief breakdown of the more viable companies and their investment merits (or not) that would be great.


Thanks!

Q: I am thinking about starting a position in BYD because of its battery technology and EV focus. Which ticker to buy? You only list BYDDF which is the OTC ticker. There is also the ADR ticker BYDDY which is said to have greater liquidity. Also hat is opinion of this company?

Q: Hello Peter,
Whenever i look up the quote for NFI group, there is normally a news release of more orders and yet the stock hardly moves. With the EV craze, I would have expected more from this company with respect to rise in stock price.. Is there a better pick in this industry?

Q: Hi, What is your recommend for 5 stocks for EV or supplier for Electrical Vehicle?

thanks. Jean Guy

Q: Hi 5I,
You have recommended that I up my international , consumer defensive , & consumer cyclical exposure. With a 5 year time frame what would be some of your suggestions?

Q: Would you happen to know if Buffet is still a shareholder??

Q: Would you recommend I hold this stock

Q: The above company has taken a beating. Is it all in sympathy with the group or is something new , possibly the Chinese link??
Thx

Q: What would you suggest as a way to gain exposure to Electric Vehicles (EV’s)?

I have electric producers, as a common denominator, but wonder whether direct investment into auto or parts makers, and/or battery components (lithium/graphite) would be worthwhile.

Any suggestions for some small dabbles?

Q: I read about AMY and like the idea of taking a flyer on a company focused on battery recycler technology considering the EV momentum. I see news came out about it on the 21-Jan but it made a significant jump the day before. Is this 'pre-emptive' jump typical?

Are there alternative companies in this space that you would recommend?

Q: Can you please advise BYDDF and BYDDY both the same company? If yes which one is better to buy and what is the difference between the two. Price is almost double on BYDDY.

Thanks for the great service
Hector

Q: Could you please give me an update
Opinion.

Q: Are there any stocks in the battery space related to electric cars, that you would recommend at this point. Secondly of the companies that are producing electric cars are there any that stand out as a good investment, in your opinion. Any market cap is fine. This could include an ETF. Thank you.

Q: Any thoughts on this competitor to Tesla???
