Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Looking forward a few years, which of AVGO and MSFT do you think will emerge as a long term winner from the AI investment cycle and therefore be the better quality company to buy and hold today? While AVGO is clearly benefiting from the build phase of AI infrastructure, I am wondering if MSFT is more likely to be the long term winner, along with the other hyperscalers, rather than the semiconductor suppliers.

Q: What do you make of VCX rocket-like rise? Too late to jump in?

I'm down on Broadcom, not by a lot but it has been stuck there for months. I'm thinking of selling and use proceeds for better plays. Your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: I very much enjoyed reading your AI Stack report and have adjusted some of my holdings accordingly. I hold: NBIS, NVDA, AVGO, MU, TER, VRT, GOOG and MSFT. All between 2-3% weighting. Do I need to hold both NVDA and AVGO? If not, I would sell AVGO. Assuming AVGO is sold, which would you be inclined to top up: NVDA, NBIS, MU, TER, VRT or GOOG? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, I own BUG (not in your database) since about its low in 2023 . In 2025, it has underperformed ETFs like CIBR, HACK. IHAK did not do very well either.

First question: Why the discrepancies between these ETFs performance, BUG in particular? Some bad holdings?

Second question: Is it worth to have this kind of niche ETFs if we have broader ETFs like QQQ?

Third question: I could Sell BUG for a small profit, or Hold for a bit hoping a better price, or switch to a more expensive ETF (my last choice). Your pick?

Have a good weekend.

Q: Good Morning
With all the increases in Capex spending what specific stocks do you see as benefitting short and long term? This might seem like an obvious question but with all the negative momentum it needs asking. Thank you

Q: I have a recent purchase of AVGO:CDN stocks and am up 71%. I check my CIBC account for this stock and it shows a drop off the cliff price chart which I don't understand. I can't find any explanation for this. I see the dividend is very low and thought it was much higher when I bought the stocks. Can you shed any light on this?
Thanks

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

With regard to the A.I. theme: If you had to pick 9 American stocks to watch that have been already running since 2023 because of A.I., which stocks would they be?

Nividia & Microsoft seem obvious. Maybe VST, AVGO… Gemini provided a list, but I’d like to know what you think please.

I find that the MAGS etf is a simple way to track the big tech stocks, but I’m not sure if the SMH etf would be too specific to track the A.I. stocks/theme?

Thank you for your help!

Sandra

Q: With regards to 5i AI special report is there any advice for members as to where to start. There are a lot of companies in your report. Maybe if you could narrow things down to 5 or 6 companies from different areas of AI that could be a core holding.Thank-you for the report and helping me to understand theAI process.
