Q: I currently own MSFT and NVDA in my technology group. I would like to add one position as a 5% weight in my technology holdings. What large cap stock would you add to compliment MSFT and NVDA as a long term hold.
I already own AMZN and GOOGL under communication sector. Best, Don

Q: Why did QCOM dropped more than 4%, whereas NASDAQ dropped only 1.66% on Wednesday? The stock has been upgraded on Tuesday. Is it because of profit taking or investors don't believe its performance? I thought that it was less risky than AMZN, GOOG, etc. Is it still a buy?

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

On November 3rd subscriber Peter' asked;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income please."

Your answer offered a number of suggestions all of which indeed generate good dividends but offer minimal (for the most part) in the way of capital gains.

Can you please tell me how your answer might have been different if the question had asked for;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income which have the potential for good growth/capital gains moving forward please."

Thanks for all you do

Q: Is there a reason why TSM has been flat while other semi's like NVDA, AMD, AVGO have been on fire. I wanted to buy NVDA but missed the recent move higher and looking for another semi that will catch up to these other names. Is TSM a good candidate? Thanks!

Q: I am holding a small position in TSM that is currently at a 2% loss. The share price has been trading sideways for some time. I also own SMH which has TSM as one it's top holdings. I am inclined to sell TSM and use the money for something else. I plan to keep holding SMH which has made good gains for me. Both are in the same taxable margin account. Should I keep holding TSM for the longer term, or should I let it go? I am also holding MRVL, AMD, QCOM and NVDA for the long term.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Are there any Canadian companies in the semi-conductor space that would be of interest to you, including start-up companies, suppliers of materials, and any potential companies on the horizon. I sold my shares in Photon Control some time ago and am looking for some kind of replacement on the Canadian side. If the U.S. is the only way to go in this field could you please suggest a couple of top picks. l already have Nvidia. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have been waiting on the sidelines to buy into the October volatility as we go into the end of the year seasonal strength. What would your sector preference and ranking be between industrials /materials/technology?
In the meantime tech has almost recouped its losses.
I have been dithering between AMD and MRVL and both have gone up nicely. Would you suggest I buy now (and which); or wait for a pullback end of month? I do have NVDA and QCOM, am a growth investor and any suggestions if I should keep QCOM or migrate to one or both of the two mentioned above ?
Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Recently you mentiontionned if there was a must own stock for you, it would be Nvidia. I own Qualcomm. I have been thinking about buying Nvidia for awhile, now. Although I don't want to be top heavy with technology stocks. Do you think it is worth it to sell Qualcomm in order to buy Nvidia. Taxes arent involved
thanks for the great service

Q: I am looking for technology companies that pay a dividend for an income portfolio, Sylogist is on my list to purchase however it is fairly small. Do you view the SYZ dividend as safe and would you buy today? Can you recommend another tech that pays a reasonable dividend (smaller but growing is fine)? Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
I read a news release sept.20 stating magna will acquire veoneer. I just wanted to confirm this is now a done deal. And do you see this deal as a long term positive or am I the only one judging by investor sentiment? Last I had heard Qualcomm had a higher bid?? Can you confirm ; and as well is it worth holding magna at these levels or should I be taking a tax loss on it (down 8% on it )? Are there any catalysts that could help the stock in the next few months or do you expect further down side? As of today it’s my only play on the EV sector. I had thought when I bought it to be a safe play on the sector and expected strong auto demand once the chip shortage went away. Thanks for your input !
