Q: Using the baseball analogy in what inning would you say we are in as far as the buildout of data centres? With what's going on in our crazy world, would you say the build out will slow down or speed up over the next year? Finally, what would be your top 3 picks 5i investors should own if wanting to participate in data centre buildout? As always, thanks for your valuable guidance.

Q: I’m looking at starting a position in Celestica. Aggressive growth in my TFSA is the goal. One concern I have come across is the potential fraud case about Google switching suppliers. I realize these potential cases are a dime a dozen but after my recent GSY experience I am extra vigilant about potential malfeasance on the part of management, either real or imagined, as either scenario is bad for the company. Could you please offer any insight into this situation. I’m fine with short-term noise but if there’s potential for lingering issues I’d rather put the money elsewhere. Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi team,
Broadcom (customer of Celestica) seems to be making a lot of large deals/partnerships lately with Hyperscalers. This being said, do you see fruits of these deals trickling down to Celestica in the form of more contracts and business for CLS? Can this be a catalyst for CLS that doesn't currently seem to be being talked about?

Thanks,
Shane.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi,

If I own CLS (1/2 position) and MU (1/2 position) already, would there be too much duplication to take out a 1/3 position in VNP as well?

Thanks very much, Michael

Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service

Q: I am looking to deploy cash sitting in my TFSA. I have "full" positions in NVDA, SHOP and GOOG. "Partial" positions in BN, CLS, BANK, NBIS, RKLB and PNG. And finally, "starter" positions in HOOD, GLXY and App.

1) Would you be comfortable with the overall balance in the account?
2) Would you deploy the funds into 2 or 3 of the existing holdings and if so, which ones?
3) Would you start a new position(s) to increase diversity and if so where would you go?
4) Would you eliminate any of the current position dues to overlap or other reasons?

Thanks,
Terry

Q: Energy is obviously trading at a premium, given the current conflict, and with this in mind I was thinking of taking advantage of the bump and trimming my CNQ and SU positions. While I don't have any concerns about the companies, it would seem to make sense to monetize some of those gains. That being said, the current conflict has obviously impacted other sectors and companies negatively. What are some opportunistic buys (in your opinion) of companies that are currently depressed by the current conflict, but whose balance sheets and business models are sound, and who will probably do fine over the next 5 years.
