Investment Q&A

Q: Your views about the company. Is it a better way to play AI compared to other high momentum stocks as NVDA, SMCI and other Data Centre play?
Thanks
Piyush

Q: I loved this recent question from Giovanni, big kudos to him and his son for taking the fantastic suggestions from 5i, and GIANT HIGH 5 to 5i team!
So to ask the same question today, my 30ish daughter has about 45k cash in TFSA. Also has some NTDOY, DIS ZQQ and ZEB. Ok with ETFs but I don't think there is as good a chance for towering home runs like NVDA.
Let's grow!

Q: Good afternoon 5l
Nvidia seems to be pivoting to AI factories, as they call them. Could you provide a few names of companies which will likely profit from this turn? Perhaps also with a brief description of why you find them interesting.
Thanks

Q: Good morning team. I'm sitting on large gains on these three in my TFSA. (thanks 5i) As might be expected their position sizes have become rather large and I am cognizant of the concern that "pigs get slaughtered"! Sooo, what to do. I sold half of Shopify some years ago and diversified into Unity Software and Lightspeed. We know how that went. Should have kept all the Shop! I'm comfortable with a large position in CSU but I'm wondering if it's time to trim some Nvidia. What are your best 3 tech ideas for diversifying my TFSA. (I also hold most of 5i's other canadian tech companies.)Also, could you suggest 3 good ideas for diversifying away from tech? Thank you, Rod

Q: What are your thoughts on QQC and CHPS etfs ? Are there other comparable etfs that you prefer ?

Q: I have an oversized position in Alphabet. Could you offer some alternatives, yet staying in the similar tech industry, and whose prices seem reasonably priced.

Thanks,

Q: Keeps moving to the right. What is the current institutional ownership? Can't just be retail investors moving the stock higher. Seems like analysts want to like the stock but they keep putting out low share price targets because of valuation.

Did TSLA, NVDA, AMZN etc have stretched valuations and then they grew into them? Can you see PLTR at a 1T market cap valuation over time?

Q: Hi group can you please give ne your top 2 picks (cad or us) in the top six sectors. Also rate them in order of preference c/w entry price and target % for each sector ...thanks

Q: My question is about creating our RRIF portfolios.
Question 1: Country Allocation given US policy to depreciate USD, would you advise to OW CAD, 50-65% CAD allocation, 25-30% US and 10-20 ex NA [including EM]? What would you advise re allocation
Question 2: Please populate stocks and ETFs, with suggested target return that you consider achievable.
If you would, please suggest a few stocks that could give a boost to return in replacement of others.
Much obliged. I have 53 credits so this is important to me and prepared to use as many as you deem appropriate. Thank you.

Q: Well happy days for all chip companies. With the recent about face and being able to sell "lower" end chips again to the Chinese market how do you see this playing out for these 2 companies and others? With NVDA hitting a 4trillion value without being able to sell in this market where could their valuation go from here in your opinion?
What percentage of the Chinese market did they have prior to the embargo that has now been lifted?

Thanks

Q: Hi there, I asked a question about this etf and you responded with a link to a previously asked question but that precious question isn’t about the etf I was referring to. Thanks!

Q: With the run of NVDA over the last few year I now have a HUGE position in the stock and need to trim it.
Can you suggest 5 Canadian or US companies that could be the next NVDA in the next 5+ years and their growth and risk as well as any other details you may have on the companies.

Thanks
Joe

Q: Hello 5i Team,

What are your top 12 growth-oriented US stocks to buy in a TFSA for a 3-5 year hold?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Might buy a house, probably won't buy a house. Prices so high, I've been maxout out the FHSA so far and it's mostly in VEQT, bit of PLTR and CRWD which have done well. What other US or CAD stock would you recommend (shorter term BUT will leave it in there longer if market goes down/ ultimately could convert to RRSP) that is underpriced and or could have huge potential upside. Imagining turning the FHSA $40,000 limit into ... ideally a $200,000 down pmt over the next 3-10 years

Q: NVDA has now grown to 8% of my portfolio and I am considering paring it back down (again) to 5%. I don't have any crypto exposure, so am looking at investing the freed-up funds in HOOD. This would bring my investment in financials to just over 30%. I know you can't comment on individual allocations, but if this were your portfolio and you already held BN, BAM, X, V and HMAX...would you be concerned about putting too many eggs in the same basket? Or would you feel there is sufficient diversity within the already-held funds to add HOOD? Thank you.

Q: I'm thinking that we are still in early innings of the AI / Data Centre / Power Consumption game. Assuming that to be true, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to capitalize on this opportunity. So, what are the top 3 to 5 sectors & their companies you would curate in a portfolio to "win" this series over the long term and why? I would appreciate your valuable insight once again. Thank you.

Q: Happy Summer day 5i Community :

Over the weekend watched a YouTube video of Tom Lee's interview with Korean news, Tom mentioned "GRNY" his recently inception ETF:Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF which runs a concentrated 35 large cap stocks, and has been out performed "QQQ" & "MAGS" so far this year. Could I have your opinion of this ETF if it is worth to give a try and rick facts associated with it please?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i - Five years ago, you suggested that my son (now aged 31) invest his early career earnings in in NVDA, TTD, ROKU, DOCU, FLIR, TEAM, CRWD, KXS, SHOP, LSPD, GSY, DOO, BYD, REAL, DSG. He largely took your advice a few of your picks have skyrocketed. Most notably, the $2,500 USD he put into NVDA is now up almost 1,900%. At the five year mark, he is wondering if it's time to rebalance and sell some of this NVDA shares or if he should continue to hold. He worries that all good things must come to an end and would appreciate your input, since it served him so well in 2020. If you have any other suggestions of growth stocks (or particular picks from your Growth Model Portfolio) he would also be interested. Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i
I would like your advice on a covered call options strategy. To date I have been selling covered call options on stocks I already own, such as Nvidia, Meta, Google, Shopify, etc. I sell mostly three week to monthly expiry dates. I usual tend to buy back and roll out if the market price surpasses my strike price. ( which I have been doing more frequently, recently).

All of these stocks have very high embedded capital gains and i wouldn’t want to pay the tax if called away. So far buying back and rolling out has worked well, though.

But, I am looking at other strategies, such as buying two or three good stocks, such as amd , palientir, etc specifically to sell call options. Here being called away is not a problem, as one would have little capital gains tax and , say in the case of amd, wouldn’t miss losing it, since I hold Nvidia.

Another possibility is to sell call options on a relatively volatile etf, such as QQQ.

I highly appreciate your advice, as I do in all investing questions

Q: Would you please (crystal ball required) provide me with 5 Canadian 5 USA stocks , any sector, to hold for the next 30 years, comes to mind stocks like MSFT JPM AMZN COST TSLA , the stocks I'm looking has potential for sustained growth, innovation, and resilience in the face of economic changes. Of course 30 years is a long time and anything can happen.
thank you
