Investment Q&A

Q: If you had to choose between these 2, which would you pick and why?
Thanks

Q: Taiwan is in worst drought in decades. TSM is in Taiwan and much water is needed to make Chips. Should I sell TSM and purchase another Chip Company. What company should I purchase NVDA, AMD, MRVL, QCOM, INTC ?
China is also a threat to Taiwan and is currently sending War Planes over Taiwan. This is another problem facing Pres. Biden.

Q: Hi 5i Team
I would like to add to my positions in each of these holdings . In which order would you
add at this time?
Thanks, Gary

Q: Currently I own all of these semi conductor related companies in my taxable account. QCOM, AMD and MRVL are still at a loss since the March downturn. All others are in positive territory, especially SMH. Should I continue to hold them all as core holdings for the long term or would you trim or delete any? Is it still a good idea to hold SMH because the ETF owns a number of companies like ASML, AMAT, an MU that I do not hold?

Q: I just sold a US stock that represents about 5% of my RIF and about 23% of my US holdings in the RIF. Income is obviously OK but some growth would also be welcome. Do you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the great work!
Bob

Q: Do you know of a company that is marketing 5G technology

Q: I raised a little cash in my U.S. account after enjoying a 12%+ gain since the start of the year. Looking to take advantage of some opportunities over the summer months. Can you list 5 U.S. stocks to watch that I should consider if they pull back over the summer? I currently own BMY, ABBV, AMZN, NVDA and COST.

Thank you,
Jason

Q: Can you suggest some companies with decent premiums that you think would be good candidates for an income generating strategy using options.
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: I kept waiting for the semi-conductor stocks to get cheaper and missed the big run. Has the sector not been cyclical historically? Do you think the sector is cooling off or entering a downturn, or is it time to step in? Qualcomm or Nvidia?

Q: Morning 5i:
I am looking to grow 200 k in a new LIRA of mine over the next 5 years before I flip to a dividend income model. What CDN and US growth equities would be your current favourites. I have a healthy risk appetite.
Thanks in advance, Greg.

Q: Hi Guys,

I am retired and is looking for recommendations for 10 US and 10 CDN core stocks. Also an ETF or two for ex North American exposure.
Thank you

Q: We have one 2 year old grandchild, and one on the way. I want to set up a small $1000 investment account for each of them, and add to it each year on their birthday. Because of the small initial amount, I plan to cover the trade commissions. Who knows if it will work, but the object is over 20 years, to show them how buying a good company, with a solid, growing dividend, and adding funds regularly, will reap long term benefits. They will be able to follow the first $1000, and hopefully at least cause them to have some thoughts/questions about investing.
Realizing potential risk/reward, I am looking for stock ideas for low and medium, risk.
Can you recommend 3 companies that you would recommend in each risk level, for this type of idea,

I will probably add trading companies along the way, but I do want one low risk, and one medium risk, long term hold, to start.
Thank you.
Grant

Q: I own the above US stocks, am up a little and down a little on them. I am wanting to cut back on these stocks, in order to raise some US$. Would you rank them, best first. I will only be cutting 2 at this time. Please comment on their growth prospects.
Thanks John

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to update my RRSP - I currently hold PG, TD, BNS, MFC, ABBV, PFE, T, BCE, AQN, BIP.UN, ENB - I am thinking of swapping PG with Verizon ( or can you suggest another with a dividend ) to add some "torque".
Thanks

Q: Everyone seems to hate the technicals on semi charts. Cramer thinks they are expensive. I look at both Broadcom and Qualcomm and think they are cheap on a forward PE basis. Yes there are short term supply issues. But double digit growth and these companies with forward PE in the teens. How are these companies not a table pounding buy for dividend growth?

Q: Could you rate these 3 stocks, looking to purchase one of them in my TFSA. Do you have a favourite or would you suggest another.
Thanks John

Q: Would you be a buyer of Qualcomm at this time? The chip shortage fiasco seems to have made a decent buying opportunity. If not Qualcomm, is there another company you would recommend? Thanks.

Q: Hello, Which companies are benefitted by chip shortage and which companies are affected negatively due to the semi conductor shortage? Thanks,

Shyam

Q: Looking to increase my US div. Yield with these picks, would now be a good time to enter or wait, and would you consider better choices and please rate best to worse, thanks.

Q: I own both of the above. I am down somewhat on crm but I like the company and its overall business philosophy. Would you buy a little more now or perhaps sell or hold in this new environment we are entering. I have owned QCOM for quite a while, up quite a bit.
Same question as above or would you suggest something else in the space. Thank you so much. Maureen
