Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Can you please tell me what Tech Companies you would buy today (US and CDN) in light of the sell off for a 5 year hold.

Thank you,

Pat.

Q: Hi Peter and the gang,
Please give us your top 10 'keeper' stocks in Canada and US.
Thanks a million

Q: Brett asked a question today. You mentioned 20 “keeper stock”. You mentioned 2. What would be the others?

Q: Hi 5i team,
This morning AMD announced its long rumoured takeover offer for XLNX. XLNX shareholders get 1.7 shares of AMD. CNBC reports it as a valuing XLNX at $143 per share, although AMD is under some pressure in the pre-market. I assume the long closing date of end 2021 is also a drag on XLNX upside. I may or may not hold onto XLNX. Is AMD a good buy here, with some pressure on it, in the fight against INTC or are there better growth candidates in the chip sector?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: What stocks do you like for a growth oriented RRSP with 15 to grow? Maybe 5 CAD and 5 US.

Thank you,
Duncan

Q: Could you please provide a few growth names on U.S. or CAN market you would buy with new money today?
Thanks

Q: I bought INTC at $49.00. They just announced results that were disappointing. Would you recommend I sell and move into another tech stock? Which one would you recommend. Thanks

Q: Which US and Canadian stocks do you think are the closest to "must owns" for growth investors today?

Q: I have a total of 5% to invest and have chosen these 3 companies as possible investments. I'm a long term growth orientated investor.

Q: Are there any companies i should look into that are in the machine learning and A.I. space. I believe there has been and will be great opurtunity here

Q: NVDA up 200%, AMD up 180%, TSM up 79% and QCOM up 70% in one year. Can I have your opinion on which would have more legs for continued share rise given current conditions within these companies, etc. Thanks so much. Dam Dan

Q: I have US$ in my TFSA account, I would like to invest in some US technology stocks, say 3 stocks. I can take high risks in this account.

Q: Hi,
This is a follow up question to your response to Bob's question on NVDA, AMD. Having only recently purchased AMD, I am somewhat concerned about a lengthy wait for AMD's price to resume an uptrend with the burden of XLNX. At the moment I am down 1/2% and wondering if it is prudent to exit and put the money to work in another growth opportunity? I currently own NVDA and could simply add to it. Other options might be TSM, MPWR, or IPHI. I would welcome your thoughts and any suggestions you may have. Thanks for keeping us informed!

consumer discretionary
supermarket/grocery
health care

Q: Am I too late to enter the chip space, namely Nvidia or AMD? Should I buy one or the other or both?

Your thoughts please.

Bob

Q: In the time since the sharp decline in markets in March I would sometimes notice when I just happened to be looking at a particular stock or ETF chart that for a select few they rebounded almost immediately (in days, or more often a few weeks). It was almost as people suddenly realized “hey, wait a minute, there was no reason for that to have sold off”. Unfortunately, in typical fashion, I didn’t note them anywhere. If we were to have another major negative market move (for any of the reasons floating around), are there any companies or ETF’s that come to mind to watch for that might repeat that pattern?

Thank you,

Q: Hello Peter,
In addition to my core portfolio built around the 5i Balanced, I have a margin borrowed portfolio that started with the idea of swing trades but has become the size of the core one as I stayed with the momentum. It is built on 3 pillars. Tech growth – (ZM, CRWD, VEEV, AVLR, LSPD, PHO, XLNX, ROKU), precious metals – (AEM, FNV, PAAS, MMX, WDO, KRR) and yield stocks -(ABBV, CU, CPX, ENB, PPL, FSZ) that help pay the interest. Two others not classified are DXCM and Visa. None of these started out as a long term holding for more than a year, but am willing to hold on in the current low interest environment. In fact, am willing to borrow more if opportunity shows up. Have my eye on NVDA, ADBE and TTD.
In case of heightened volatility which of the 3 pillars would you focus on holding and any suggestions on which ones would you exit sequentially?
Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you for your advice in advance.
Regards.
Rajiv

Q: In the terms of growth and safety how do you rate these three companies.

Q: Hello Folks:
I have 200,000 cash in my account and wondering where best to invest.
I currently own amazon and apple in my tech. sector and considering adding shopify or tesla. Do you have an opinion as to the potential of each of these, or do you have other suggestions? I prefer larger cap companies.
Thanks for everything

Q: Is there a Canadian listed Canadian dollar ETF that holds many of your USA favourite companies: NVDA, VEEV, DOC, MSFT, AMZN etc, etc.
If not is there a US ETF that holds a concentration of some of your favourite companies? Not just a sector ETF, but more focused on your favourites. Currently I'm only invested in Canada, and I want to invest, starting small, in some of the USA companies you are recommending, but, if possible with a bit of diversification.

Or if nothing exists, maybe I should just pick two, say NVDA and VEEV and invest in those in US dollars? Would those two be top of the list? It is for a small amount, about 5% of my portfolio.
