Investment Q&A

Q: Hi I am 40 years old. I currently pay into a pension and am scheduled to retire in 2040. I have mostly been growth focused throughout my entire portfolio and am wondering when I should begin to consider a more balanced style. Ie income vs growth. Just to limit any risks. Thanks for any advice

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I currently own Super Micro and Nextracker and wondering if you would prefer a switch into TMDX, ASPN, CLBT and PLTR? How would you rank the 6 for a hold over the next 3-5 years?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hi Team,
Two part question. Firstly, like a fool I sold out of crwd at the worst possible time during the selloff in anticipation of more bad news and to raise cash in the overall sell off. Ever since it seems to be on a steady rise back up. Is it time to buy back the shares or should I wait until after earnings?
Second; do you see any compelling buys out there today to put new cash to work? If so what are some of your favourite names to purchase today Canadian and US. I was looking at adding to propel possibly …it boggles me it had such strong results and a muted share price ; not sure why but it seems undervalued. Same with go easy but I am already over weight in that one.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Could you please rank these five companies, best first, for a 3-4 year hold. Thanks

Q: I am overweight both of these names. I am hoping for a recovery pop at which time I will seek to sell down a bit and spread the money out. Can you please give me a few other names that you might suggest for growth at this time? I sold booking holdings at a loss so please exclude that name. I am too afraid to buy back smci due to its wild volatility. I was consider coherent, Motorola, and Monolithic Power but am open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Q: Previous answer: We think software may be the next area to move, with names like PLTR. There is some consolidation happening but we do not see AI as being 'over' as a theme.

Can you provide your three best ideas outside of Palantir and provide a brief summary of why you see growth? Please present in order from most to least conviction.

Thanks!

Q: Good Morning,


It seems like the market has recently decided that the AI investing theme has peaked, and somewhat earlier than expected. Would you agree, and is it perhaps time to consider selling some winners?

It’s unlikely that SMCI will return to its highs from earlier in the year, and it’s a very different company, but is the current market sentiment likely to continue pulling down other AI-related winners like Vertiv and even Nvidia?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Q: Would you kindly provide 4 US stocks and 4 CDN stocks that would be your best bets today to increase in value by 1000% over the next 10 years. Thanks.

Q: Looking for tax-loss proxy ideas for CAN: DCBO and US: NXT, SMCI, and PLTR. If there are simply better names to consider as replacements, those would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on Palentir earnings. Thank you

Q: Good evening,

I am relatively new to options and would like to buy either a straddle or a strangle (using options with around 500 days til expiration). Would it be possible to get a list of maybe 5-10 companies for which the implied volatility is significantly lower than the historic volatility? Also what other factors would you look for in a company that you are doing a straddle/strangle on?

Thank you very much,

Aidan

Q: Would you be in favor of a trim and diversification trade to PLTR and SMCI from NVDA at this point? While still planning to keep NVDA overweight.

Q: What are your five favourite software opportunities in Ai, with a brief reason why for each? It would help if you could list or rank them in terms of upside as well (most upside first).

Q: Do you think now is too late to get into Pltr? I worry about valuation but it seems to have a lot of potential. Thank you,

Jason

Q: Hello, Currently I hold NVDA, Meta, Google, and Palantir stocks in the tech sector. Could you recommend additional stocks that would complement my portfolio during this AI boom? Thank you.

Q: Thanks to your sage advice, I am up significantly (again) on NVDA. Last year, I let it run up to 10% of my holdings, sold half and purchased VRT (now up 30%). NVDA has now increased to 8% of my portfolio. I understand there are multiple drivers currently at work turbo-charging the price of this stock (earnings, stock split, upcoming DOW listing, forced acquisition by ETFs, etc.). All this prompts three questions. How large would YOU let your NVDA grow as a percentage of your portfolio before trimming? Assuming you wanted to trim, when do you think the stock price will start leveling off (assuming the absence of black swan events)? If you wanted to take some profit and invest it outside tech, what would be your three highest conviction US stocks today? AMZN, MSFT, VRT, GOOG, V, and J already held. Thank you.

Q: CNR. Have you heard any news re the potential reason for the downhill trajectory in the stock over the course of the last 2 weeks?

PLTR. In an opposite sense, any news re the upside being experienced by this company over the course of the last 2 weeks. I did see a target price of $29 recently but everything I've heard is that the company's forecast was ok (nothing special), I've heard many analysts reiterate that the companies stock was overvalued, ...

Would you be a buyer for either of the above at current prices? If not, would you wait for a better price? Thanks.

Q: Morning,
Looking for growth idea for US stocks. Have some money to add to 1/2 position in either CCJ, BWXT or something else you recommend.
Already have full position in CELH, VRT,PLTR and PWR. Trimming NVDA
Thanks for this service

Q: What emerging AI companies do you recommend getting into and do you think Nvidia is still one to invest in at this time? First time investor.

Q: In regards to some of the companies that have gotten whacked after releasing their numbers (like Uber, Shopify, Hammand ect), what are a couple names that you think look the most likely to dust themselves off and move higher from here? Thanks
