Q: Hi
I recently learnt about the AI energy consumption issue. What opportunities/threats does this issue pose to investors? Are there specific subsectors or types of companies (within the energy sector) that will benefit from or be hit through the course of the AI story?
Any specific recommendations ETFs or stocks?
Thank you

Q: Would you please please order the tech stocks in order of preference for long term hold with a brief explanation of each.
Would you consider CEG comparable to NEE?

Q: I was watching an interview with David Rosenberg and Ed Devland. They were stating that the Canadian interest rates are going to have to be cut several times due to economic conditions. Can you recommend investment strategies to benefit from this . For example bonds going up in value because of the inverse relationship of interest rates and bond values. What bond etf's ect. Can you give US recommendations also, as it sounds like the Us will be later than Canada.

Thanks

Q: Please recommend 3-5 quality US stocks or ETFs for long-term holds that are currently at a good buying price.

Thanks as always.

Q: Aside from AI what industries do you think will do well over the next year, both CDA and USA? Can you pls recommend specific stocks or ETFs in those industries?

Q: In reference to your answer that we should consider being overweight the US at this time, can you give one US name in each sector for modest growth (not dividends) over the next few years? Please take as many credits as necessary with thanks.

Q: Hi, with the relatively attractive PE ratio of Utilities and the proxy play of increased energy consumption demands of AI, can you recommend 3 Canadian Utilities and 3 US Utilities with a growth focus for a 2-3 year hold, and your thoughts on each.

Q: I currently hold Enbridge in a taxable account and I am thinking of selling it and purchasing a stock in the same sector that has more growth and likely a smaller yield. While I prefer Canadian companies US listed stocks would be considered if they are more attractive.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Based on my TD Webroker Analyst ratings, ANGIE STOROZYNSKI and Analyst with Seaport Global has a 4.5 star rating as a result of her PERFORMANCE WIN-LOSS RATE
84 Out of 128 Successful Ratings(66%) and an Average Return Per Rating
+12.0%

Now I know generally we're not supposed to take analyst ratings that much into account with maybe the exception of "..are the analysts ratings trending up or down".

Is that the theory I should be be taking with analysts ratings? What's 5i philosopy on analysts ratings and do you take note of any prominent analysts in the investment field?

Those questions aside Neil Kalton from Wells Fargo with a similar rating but an average of half of Angie's came out with a rating for Nextera Energy NEE on the same day as her. His is for a target price of $85 and hers is for $44. It seems mind boggling how two analysts can have both and upside of 30% percent and a downside of 30% on the same stock on the same day being the most recent analyst opinions on the stock??? What is your price point for NEE today, Is it a buy, sell or hold. What price would you get in at because I'd like to average down on the position I have on it now. Thanks for the help to clear things up.

Hope everyone has a good Easter Weekend.

Cheers

Q: Hi Folks,
My understanding of Ai is that it requires or will require a lot of energy and storage. Am I correct in stating that? Can you provide me with a few names in each category that you feel would be a good buy today for a long term hold.
Thanks

Q: I read a piece In the G&M by Rosie on the weekend re: nuclear energy as a potential outperformer. It mentioned the above firms as potential investments. I did a little homework and of the Cdn firms, the only 1's I thought worth investing in were the ETF and ATRL. I was unfamiliar with the U.S. firms . Can you shed some light on them please? I do have positions in Hammond Power, SMCI & Vertiv, which I'm pleased with and am thinking of adding to. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me to enhance an informed decision.

Q: Hello 5i,
I am considering purchasing BEP:US to meet my P.A. targets for both Sector (Utilities) and Geography (U.S. & International).
In researching BEP, all I could find was one pie chart that indicated its geographical footprint as being 50% U.S., 35% Canada, and 15% Brazil.
While this will work for me, my question is "how accurate is that as a geographical breakdown?" It seems to be all I could find.
Can you offer any other suggestions for Utilities with a greater U.S./International bent? U.S.-denominated is preferred - as is a comparable dividend...
Many thanks for any insights you may have.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Can you suggest US companies with safe, high dividends? Other than Financial or Energy. I'm considering GIS but am open to other ideas. thank you
