Investment Q&A

Q: I own 3 of the big 7, Apple, Amazon and Nvda and manage the positions for weighting. I would like to own Microsoft and/or Google. Please suggest if you think it's necessary to expand to one or both of these, and if better to have a half position in both, or full position in one or both considering the other holdings. Thanks!

Q: Dear Peter,

This is a very light hearted "question"!

Enjoyed watching your Stock market stories!

SMCI hit 1000 $ yesterday! I was at home watching Chris interviewing Peter!

Where was Peter when AAPL/MSFT/TSLA and others hit (split adjusted) 1000 $
More importantly where are you planning to be when NVDA hits 1000 $

There is an article begging to be written about 1000$ stocks and their history!!

Happy Family Day!

Q: Hi 5i,

There's been a lot of buzz lately about OpenAI/ChatGPT developing a new search engine that will compete with Googles. Also this will be partly functional inside Bing. Given the Google relies on highly Ad revenue, expecting users to scroll through searches, while this new engine would potentially by-pass this Ad revenue clicking, do you see this a game changing to Google?

Thx

Q: META or MSFT, which will provide the most stock price appreciation for a 3 year hold?? Please provide a brief explanation. Thanks

Q: Hi

Using round numbers NVDA share price is currently about 100 times revenue. For comparison purposes MSFT is 15 times revenue and AAPL is 7.5 times revenue. I understand NVDA has more growth than MSFT and AAPL but what am I missing here?

Q: I have a many tech stocks in CDRs (msft.ne, aapl.ne, amzn.ne, goog.ne, nflx.ne). I’d like to slowly switch these to USD for more diversification - and because the holdings are big enough in some cases a sale would be ~1.5-2% of daily volume. This leads me to two questions - and I understand there is no crystal ball.

1) Is there a level of holdings / daily volume where an investor should make pause?

2) USD appears more expensive than usual and while short term may trend more expensive longer term there may be discounts. Given any headwinds would you consider converting to USD today or wait for better timing ?

Q: HI 5I,
A couple of questions, if I might. Please deduct accordingly.
First, regarding CDRs in general - in looking at the listed companies I note that the price of the CDR compared to the US share price for each company varies considerably. E.g.: For NVDA the CDR price is approximately 9.5% of the US price, for AAPL the CDR is approx. 14.9% of the US price, GOOG CDR is approx 17% of the US version, MSFT CDR comes in at about 7.40% of the US price, and the COST CDR is only about 4.7% of the US price.
Is this variance something that a purchaser of CDRs needs to bear in mind in any way or for any reason, or is it meaningless with regard to returns, and how does the significant variation between companies come about in the first place?
And secondly, could you rank the listed companies for total return over a one year period, accompanied by whatever commentary you choose to offer as to why you've ranked them as you have?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Hi, can you give me your 5 best US growth stocks ideas, ranked 1 to 5 (one being best), with a high degree of safety yet good growth to hold and not touch for 3-5 years? Thank you.

Q: In terms of growth and quality, what is your strongest long term recommendation for each of the following investment themes:

Artificial intelligence
Cybersecurity
Cloud computing
Digital payments
Online advertising
Infrastructure rebuild
Alternative/clean energy
Asian consumer spending
Medical needs of an aging population

My preference is for single stock ideas (US, Canadian or international) rather than ETFs, if possible.

Q: Hi, I would like to invest in AI (Artificial Intelligent)
I own: . AAPL.3%, ADBE. 3%, MSFT.3%, NVDA. 3%.
Do you have other stocks to suggest to me or add 2% to the four I currently have.
Thanks
Jean Guy

Q: I own these stocks in my open account and would like to add to my investment in these stocks. How would you rate these stocks on a 5 year hold with a rating of 10 being highly recommended and purchase not recommended rated as 1. Thank you

Q: hi,
thank you for, and this question is in reference to, the answer to the "baby Mag 7" question a few days ago by "JR". are you able to do a short analysis of these 7, compared to the "adult" Mag 7 in regards current and future valuation, growth, debt/equity metrics. further, do you have any guess on the timeline of googl/meta etc.'s development/utilization of their own AI chips in house?
take as many points off as needed, this question seems like a bad homework assignment to me!
thanks Chris

Q: JPM has had a decent run but I'm thinking of swapping it for Mastercard. Can I get your thoughts please?

Palo Alto has also been terrific, but I'm trying to add more AI into my portfolio. I'd like to sell it and find a new name, CDN or US. I own MSFT, AAPL, Salesforce, GOOG, Meta, NVDA, Constellation, Shopify and Kinaxis. I was thinking of Taiwan Semi, AMD or Broadcom, but can I get your thoughts please?

Q: Is there an ETF that tracks the s&p but excludes the mag 7 ?

Q: Hi Folks,

Thanks
