Investment Q&A

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

Q: Would you consider KLA and/or ASML as "core" IT/AI holdings for 3-5 years, apart from current M 7 holdings. Among IT/AI opportunities available, how would you rank one or both, given current valuations, and taking into account vulnerabilities [China]. Or, would you suggest 3 others instead.
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i,

What are your thoughts on INTEL? What are your thougths on the domestic tailwinds via Biden Administration and roughly 75B in federal support for domestic chip manufacturers? Seems almost like the industry is being considered a matter of national sercurity in the US and will back the chip makers. Are there other companies who stand to do well in this environment?

Cheers!

Q: I've been lucky enough to own NVDA in the last year. Its now 4% of my portfolio. I'm considering buying a semi supplier like AMAT, LRCX,ASML, etc. What do you think? is it too much to own NVDA and a supplier? if so, which would you suggest?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Would you be able to provide a summary of resources/materials needed in the semi-conductor space. Out of these are there any that would stand out as being particularly important. And finally are there any companies, Canadian or American, that have a good track record of providing any of these resources/materials.
Thanks.

Q: I would like to add some coverage in semi conductors. What are your thoughts on these stocks? Is investing in the ETF a better bet? Any valuation concerns with SMH? Do you have other suggestions that are not overvalued?

Q: We have had 500 shares of orbk with a nice gain in capital. it seems the ride is over with the sale to klac. Should we ride it out to the conclusion and have some cash and klac shares in trade (pay some capital gains), or sell at current price (pay more capital gains), to redeploy the funds.?
Your advice is always appreciated.

Q: In adding a security ROE not significantly below 20% ; PEG not TOO far above 1.0-1.4 : these together with reasonable forward P/E are top of mind in in key things I look for.

I would be thankful for your response and comment on the following issues:
1. Does KLAC meet most of my critical factors, do you think ?
2. Would you personally buy KLAC at or near current prices?
3. Does your analysis indicate probability of strong growth in the next 2 to 4 years?
4. Is the stock reasonably (fairly) valued relative to industry prospects using GARP thinking?
5. Does KLAC have strong competitors around the world?

Your insight would be valuable. Thank you.
