Investment Q&A

Q: What plans does NVDA have for the piles of cash it will earn in the next year(s), and do you think these are good plans? Thanks.

Q: Nvidia, Constellation Software and Broadcom (in that order) have pulled away from the other stocks in our portfolio. We know how you view NVDA and CSU and wonder how you would rate AVGO to overweight in the portfolio as well? We hold AVGO in two registered accounts for the nice dividend.
Thank you

Q: How good is Nvidia’s moat to its broader sales clientele, and to what degree could competition or demand fatigue place its top and bottom lines, and by virtue its multiples and stock price, at risk of slow down and potential downside?

Q: Could you provide comments on SoundHound AI Inc (SOUN on the nasdaq- not in the database ?) and any thoughts on the jump in the last couple of days ?
Thank you.

Q: Thanks to 5i, over the recent past, I have DCA these stocks, holding less than 5% with room to add based on your advice.
a) 3% - AXON VRT HPS ISRG LMN
b) 2% - BKNG CLS LLY NVDA CELH
c) 1% - POWL NXT EXP
Please rank those that you would be comfortable adding to [DCA] now - with target percentages. For example, would you add to AXON first and, if so, to what percentage.

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: Hi Team, Thanks for your wonderful work on i5Research.
NVDIA stock jumped right after earnings report last week. This week it has dropped in price every day, even though analyst are targeting up to 1000-1200$ in the near future.
With the recent deep in NVDA is this a good time to buy NVDA stock or call options? Or is it a falling knife?
Thanks

Q: I have these companies on my cash account , they all are doing good, but now I'm looking to sell 3 of them, so I can buy some BRK.B.
Which 3 would you let go. thank you.

Q: Hi,

One of the larger holdings in my portfolio is NVDA ~5%. I trimmed some NVDA last week and bought some VRT ~1%. Thinking of buying some SMCI as well. Do you think owning all three would be too correlated or would it be okay? Thinking of adding ~1% position to SMCI (seems to have settled down a bit here). If it were you, in what % would you allocate to each of the three names?

Also long AXON (nice results yesterday). Would like to add more but looks pricey at 68x p/e and 11x p/s. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: For a TFSA, what are the 10 U.S. stocks that you would recommend ?

Q: I do wonder if you could comment on the recent news releases in regard to Cadance and Intel foundry systems. I just started researching this and am going to admit a lot of this is over my head and comprehension. From my initial readings it looks like Microsoft has joined in on this as well, so looks like Intel, Cadence and Microsoft are in an initiative in the AI space. Is there a possibility that Intel may get some legs in this AI surge as well? The share price of this stock has certainly not soared like others in this sector. Wondering if the Microsoft relationship will have some impact on the future performance of Intel?
Could this be a way for Microsoft to lessen it's dependence on NVDA?

Q: Thanks to Peter, Ryan and the 5i Team, my portfolio has recovered from the Tech Wreck of 2022. Much of this is due to my holdings in Nvidia and SMCI. I have been trimming some along the way up, but Nvidia is now over 12% and SMCI is over 6% of my portfolio. This time around, I'd like to hold on to my gains (unlike in 2022).

My questions are: What "sleep at night" ETF or stock might you suggest to put some of my profits into (sector doesn't matter)? Also, what percentage of your holdings would you be comfortable with SMCI going to?

My pension covers my living expenses, so I am able to take a little more risk.

Thanks,

Brad

Q: Hi there, can you add anything to the AI conversation regarding CTS?

How is CTS involved with AI or in supporting the use of AI using Nvidia product?

What is expected of CTS when it reports next week?

Is it fairly priced now based on preliminary numbers provided?

Are institutions and insiders now buying again?

How much stock has been purchased now by CTS to cancel, last year plus this year?

Thanks!

Q: I am wondering what you think the risk is with nvidia vis-a-vis the tensions between the US and China. My understanding is that nvidia's supply chain is heavily based in Taiwan. Should China overtake Taiwan, what do you think the impact would be to nvidia? Are there alternate sources elsewhere worldwide (considering supply chain constraints)? Presently, the US government is restricting what nvidia can ship to China and I must assume that China would probably reciprocate should they take control of Taiwan. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Hi Peter,
Would you go overweight in either /both targeting a double in two years? Alternatively, will you assign a probability with 90% confidence on a return in two years? I just want to know how you view these stocks currently.

Q: A recent comment of "But we do prefer higher-growth companies" than LNTH, which companies would you be referring to?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Its likely this has been asked before but I couldn't find it... Besides the big guns NVDA, MSFT etc what smaller AI players providing the picks & shovels look good forward ? Which ones would make good targets for the big guys ? Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
Now that NVDA earnings have completely proved the markets “fear” going into the print completely wrong ; what’s your take on the stock going forward ? Continued momentum? Buy, trim , hold ? The way it looks to me comparing valuations and insane revenue growth rates NVDA might be on its way from #3 spot to eventually taking over both apple and Msft as largest company. Do you see this as correct? The crazy thing is AI is just getting started. Seems like a huge market for NVDA going forward with many countries that haven’t even touched the surface of getting started. I don’t want to sound overly bullish but looking at the future of the world dynamics with digitization of everything this seems to be the future . This being said ; there will be massive demand for data center infrastructure. What companies are the best to play this ? HPS.A seems like data center infrastructure will be a big area of growth for them . Your thoughts please , Thanks.

Q: A few question and please take as many credits as required:
1) Is there a reasonable way to estimate how much of the share price increases in SMCI and NVDA are due to short covering?
2) What is the current short % in both NVDA and SMCI?
3) Where does one find information related to short %?

Q: Hi team,

Which of Netflix and all in the Magnificent Seven do you forecast to have the best growth this year and in which order ?
Would you at the same time risk to forecast the % of growth ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
