Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am up 140% on NVDA and 65% up on DRX ( DRX has lost some gains recently

I am looking to maximize gains for the next 2 years.

I am planning to sell half of my NVDA shares and all my DRX shares to buy MU and AVGO.

The thought is that I want to cash some gains from NVDA and DRX might not grow much after the recent insider sale.

Does this sound like a good plan? Or do you think that NVDS, AVGO and MU are in similar markets and would suffer once AI-hype dies down in the next 2 years?

Do you have other alternatives for a 2 year hold? I am buying with Canadian dollars. So stocks need to be listed on TSX or NEO.

Thanks

Q: Is there meret in the theory that metals do best at the end of a bull market. Does history show this. I'm thinking a recession is on the horizon based on the double digit returns I've been seeing in metals and should start taking profits.

Q: I'm thinking of replacing my MAL shares with MDA for about a 2 to 2.5% position . { MAL is currently 1% so it would be a position size increase but still on the small side } ..... I notice the market cap of MDA is three times the size of MAL as well ..... It looks to me like MAL is a recovery play and MDA is a growth play. Could 5i give me a brief outlook on the short term and long term prospects of both and your preference between the two companies ? And whether a term I often see 5i use is applicable here ? The term is " We do not see it as need to own " ...... Thankyou for your terrific service .....

Q: My Son hopes to buy a condo in the next 6 months and has sold most of his stocks and now holds mainly cash. PSA, CASH, CBIL and UBIL.U all currently yield in the 5% range. I am thinking he is best to put most the funds in CBIL and UBIL.U, since these may benefit a bit if interest rates fall, whereas the yield in PSA and CASH would decrease. Or is he best to put funds in PSA or CASH and sacrifice a possible decrease in yield, for a safer investment in HISA ETFs. Thank you for your comments!!

Q: Dear Peter:

I have a small sum, about 10 k USD from locking in some profits. I can only write covered calls in my Registered accounts. No cash secured puts! Any candidate that you may want to suggest for writing covered calls? (can only be in 100 shares lot, right?) The ones that have attractive premiums are very expensive!

Many thanks.
