Q: Good morning 5i
Nokia seems to be rising from the dead. There is some news that this relates to Nvidia's increasing interest and investment in the company. I am wondering whether you know something about this and whether it is worth investing in
Thanks

Q: I am thinking of adding to my defense sector exposure. I own SHLD which is 60% US stocks. With Europe's desire to purchase more defense equippment at home would it make sense to start a new position in EUAD (100% European stocks) instead of adding to SHLD? SHLD has performed better over the last year and the US will have to replenish the armaments it burned in Iran, but US firms might expect fewer orders from Europe.

Q: Hello, have owned ABBNY (thanks to a previous Q&A here) for some time and it has done well...steadily reaching new highs and I understand recent record earnings and orders. However, I'm also reading that it has gotten rather expensive. Just wondering if you can provide your thoughts on it. I note last question on it was in 2024 and you had good things to say about it then. Thanks for your great service!!

Q: ASML Holdings (ASML) stock has really run up and is approaching its all time high. I have a small position with a nice return. With the high valuation, do you think most of the upside is already baked into the stock price? Would you sell today or continue to hold? If hold, what should I watch for to know when to sell? Thank you.

Q: While the recent umbers for TSM look great, I don't know how to weigh the risk of china taking taiwan. What would happen to TSM if China took Taiwan. Would TSM probably be nationalized? Would the stock price crater? Would it also severly hurt the stock price of chip companies like NVDA, since they depend on TSM

Q: Hi 5i Wonder team!

How do you feel about this company’s fundamentals as a pick and shovel option for critical mineral sector?
I know it’s just IPO’d so has a lot to prove but do you feel it has some compelling attributes? Such as a strong moat, good positioning, promising future revenue projections etc?

Thank you so incredibly much for your expertise particularly in such volatile times.

Q: Hi, I’m starting to slowly invest outside of North America because Canada is a little too layed back, and government is not very aggressive, they would rather just tax us.( my opinion), and the U.S. is what it is right now, and markets do not like uncertainty.
I started with VIDY for now, but I see that about 20% is in Japan, I don’t think this is bad but it is quite a bit.
My question for future buying, is country specific that important? And could you list 5-6 countries outside NA that are your favourite to invest in.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I’m looking for 2 ETF’s suggestions, that is mostly out of Canada, as all my stocks are on the TSX. ( RY,ENB,BN,CSU,etc.) Looking at a mix of U.S. and other countries. Retired so has to be somewhat conservative with a 2%+ dividend while I wait. Could be a balanced etf for a little growth and safety. I was looking at TGRO, as an example, but maybe it is too much risk? your thoughts, thanks

Q: How do you feel about SIKA, a Swiss materials company? It can be purchased as a CDR (CAD hedged). It has an 8% CAGR for revenue and EPS for the last 5 years and pays a dividend of 2.5% at its current price of CAD$6.70. I am looking for quality international individual stocks and this looks like one.
