Investment Q&A

Q: Everyone. AI is at the beginning of a great breakout in many industries. AI is in exponentially growth period and the early adopters will benefit but the biggest beneficiaries are yet to be identified. I didn’t understand the benefits of MSFT or APPL in their pre-real growth stages. Will AI change the stock market in a profound way the humans will not be involved ie the human stock pickers. What tech areas should I look for be looking for or are they in my view already? Should we believe in the large cap tech stocks will continue to lead, or buy, the AI technology revolution? Clayton

Q: Please share your thoughts on their earnings. Thank you.

Q: Following your answer to Dan about LSPD risks and potential, you say that there is a better place for capital in tech. What would be your top picks to replace LSPD? Thanks

Q: Good morning,

I recently asked a question about Equinix - thank you for your response. I also own Pure Storage, which is in a different sector from Equinix but seems related in that they both offer data storage - at least, that is how it seems to a non-techie like myself. Do you think these two are different enough to own both? My portfolio has too many small positions so I'm looking to concentrate and am wondering of one of these could be sold. Would you hold both? If you were to sell one, which would you choose?

Thank you,

Q: Have some cash in US $ registered account dedicated to Tech. In TOTAL Portfolio (CDN & US), we currently own NVDA (8.4%) CSU (7.3%) SHOP (4.7%) GOOG (4.5%), QCOM (4%) MSFT (3.7%), CRWD (2.5%) META (2%) TOI (1.6%)
Have some US $ available, considering : PERI, PSTG, ADOBE, AMZN, SMCI, AI, AMD. Of these, which 2 or 3 would you add to the Tech portfolio (if any) and what would you see as a reasonable purchase price.
Also, given the current/foreseeable environment, at what point would you consider trimming NVDA & CSU ? Please use as many question credits as needed. Many thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on CAE latest earnings released today. Was there anything of particular interest to note from the call the call (either good or bad)? What is your view of this company after this latest report (buy/add, hold, sell, or trim like you did with model portfolio)? Are there other names in Canada or in the USA you prefer and would recommend over CAE?

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: Hi team,

This is more of a second order question - so nvda is clearly doing very well, where could we look for benefit on the supplier side, ie. the inputs for what they need for the AI?

Q: How would you rank these stocks for initial investments?

Q: would you recommend buying this company at this time

Q: I’m invested for the long term. Do you view any of these names as no longer holding any long term potential?
Thanks

Q: Comments please on the large drop today.

Is this sell, hold or buy?

Thanks in advance
Rick

Q: Does PSTG have a good pathway to growth? Is this a good entry point?

Q: Over the past two years with the downturn of the market, I am down significantly with majority of these holdings in various accounts. I have a long-term 10+ year outlook, so looking to see if you feel any of these can be sold off given the outlook, management of the company? If so, what are your recommendations for a growth investor in either CAD/US stock options?

Thanks!!

Q: Hello 5I,
I am down 55% or Apps.
Just wondering if you would hold on on switch into something else. Looking for something with similar upside of course.
Thanks

Q: Could I please have your comments on the above recent increase. Would this be a good time to add to my position?
Thanks
Rick

Q: Regardless of sector/ size, which order would you begin long term positions in these companies? Thanks

Q: Based on current valuations, irregardless of sector weightings, what are your favourite top 5 US growth stocks for a 10 year timeline.

Thanks,
Greg.

Q: Given the recent price jumps in some of the US recommendations you have been making, can you give me your top 5 long-term holds in terms of their current price?

Thanks

PS. I understand your timelines, but if you could answer quickly because tomorrow morning will be my last buying opportunity for the next week.

Q: I currently hold the above in my TSFA, and under water. Please provide your comment as which if any I should add to, or should I be considering selling.
Your comments would be appreciated
