Investment Q&A

Q: So after listening to Josh Brown interview Ric Edelman this ETF was discussed and seems timely. Would appreciate your views on Mr Edelman who sounds plugged in to what the future may deliver (he does however predict the downfall of Alphabet which isn't the base case of many - you included). That aside wondering about this ETF and your current opinion on whether it's buyable. Given the possibilities of AI, robotics, potential developments in medical science and treatment - all things that may fascinate but about which many of us have very limited understanding or vision about - might you characterize this holding in an appropriate portion as a smart piece of an overall portfolio that provides investors with exposure to future areas of potentially exponential growth - and perhaps your take on this ETF vs the ARK ETFs re valuation, risk and holdings comparisons - appreciate your viewpoint.

Q: NVDA has a really good run lately. Is it too late to buy some for a medium to long-term hold?

Q: I currently hold MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, and GOOG. All are at a 5% weight, except for AMZN, which is at 3%. I have an additional 2% to invest. Would you suggest topping up AMZN to 5%...or purchasing another tech stock with the additional funds? If the latter, would you please provide three stocks ranked by both risk and potential profit...and explain why you have selected each? Thank you.

Q: I currently own DSG,NVDA,SYZ,TOI AND TIXT. I am thinking of adding DCBO and wonder if there is is any overlap with the tech stocks that I already own or would be ok to add to this one as well?

Thanks

Q: RESP for 2 year old, with current year contribution to deploy ($3,075). Considering selling SHOP (8% weight) and NVDA(15% weight) and adding equally position in BN and AMZ CDR. Objective to diversify portfolio and add some growth potential. Thoughts on this plan, or alternative suggestions?

Q: What would be your recommendations for public traded companies that make robots for restaurants? Thanks

Q: I have some cash to deploy in various accounts. What do you suggest for income (divvy) in a cash account? to be held 3-5 years?
For capital gains to be held 2-3 years?
longterm (10-20 years) in a tax sheltered account?
Looking mostly for Canadian stocks but also a couple of US ones (but not for income)
Please take as many credits as fair. TIA

Q: Its pretty obvious that AI is going to be a big investment thesis this year and likely for a number of years. It looks like it will be very disruptive, which will create investment opportunities. With that will come hype and promotion of low quality companies that will get propped up in the wave of AI. Like crypto, NFT's, etc etc I think AI will probably be the next craze, and a lot of money will be made and lost. But so far the only recommendations I'm reading about are mega caps like Nvidia, Apple, GOOG which can do well but they aren't going to be multibaggers. Do you have any insight into smaller companies that may benefit most from this AI boom? Looking for game changing smaller companies that have the best chance at multibagger gains? Thx

Q: Good Afternoon

I currently hold TEAM(even), VEEVE(-10%) TRADEDESK(-10%),CROWDSTRIKE (-35%) and UNITY(-75%). Each of these positions make up less than 2% of my portfolio. Unfortunately there are no tax losses applicable. If you were to consolidate which ones would you keep or in turn what would you buy as a replacement

Thank you

Q: I hold APPS in a USD portion of my TFSA (unfortuneatly) and am thinking to cut my losses. Do you think there would be better candidates that APPS could be swapped for at this time?

Q: You have generally been positive on QCOM but the share price seems to be range bound. Do you see prospects for the price to move? Any catalyst in sight? I own it as well as Nvidia; is there much duplication there? I am considering switching out of QCOM into CRM; can you please comment on this idea. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I own both of these in small positions. I want to sell one and add to the other. Long term hold. Which would you recommend to keep.

Q: Now we know we are near the end of J Powell's hikes in Interest Rates as Inflation is dropping should I start building my equity Holdings?

If so can you give me three names in Canada & USA Thanks a lot RAK

Q: Can I get your 3 or 4 picks for Ai stocks or ETF,s

Q: For approximately 10 month of the last year (March 22 to Jan 23) AMD and NVDA stock prices acted similarly but in Feb 23 ADM stock price leveled off and then dropped while NVDA continued to climb. Was there any specific circumstance that caused this divergence? At this time what entry price for each of these stocks would you suggest. Thanks
Mike

Q: If I sold my remaining shares in lightspeed I would like to invest the money in a higher quality company. Could you provide a few names that would fit this description as well as growth upside especially in a market turn-around. Any sectors are fine.

Q: I am currently 14.5% NVDA in a 1.2M portfolio. Should I trim back my shares and go into QQQ or VGT?

Q: Hi everyone at 5i!
I am up 370% with my stock in NVDA and would like to trim a third of the stock. With the proceeds I would like to add to a portfolio holding AWK, BRKB, BX,COST,EMR, ISRG RSP. QQQ. JPM MDT MSFT, NVDA , PEP, PG, O , VZ, V, WM . I am looking for two or three stock suggestions that would round out this list for growth or growth and income.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Hi there,

I'd like to own 8 companies listed in the USA (but not necessarily USA based companies). The holding period can be 5 - 10 years or more as I am many years from retirement. I would like to focus on companies that have a moat and pricing power and strong earnings growth now and anticipated future earnings growth.

I am leaning towards an oil company, an insurance company, a resource company, a semi conductor or 'tech' stock, and the financial services industry. I want to avoid stocks de jour as I got badly burned this year in things like upstart, apps, and unity, although I understand that upstart may benefit from AI and I am open to considering that one as well.


I am considering: Abbv, Lnth, Sanofi, ISRG, Visa, Fisv, Nvda, STmicroelectronics NV, Sea Limited, Meli, and Anet, Mckesson Corp, Oxy or COP, among others.

I am not asking for a full report on any of the names above, just trying to throw a few names out that I was looking at. I am also open to etfs.

What would be your top 8 picks (not necessarily the ones I've mentioned)? I am okay with risk. Thank you,

Jason

Q: With all the volatility we are seeing, I am looking at trading a few stocks so I would like a few suggestions from you. These should be names I wouldn't have a problem holding if the trades don't work out. Both US and Canada. Thank you in advance.
