Investment Q&A

Q: I note that Sail is now a significant holding in BUG, which seems a vote of faith. Burning cash, but less so than in the past, I gather and earning more. I believe it has no debt currently. Could you please evaluate its prospects and whether it looks buyable here?

Q: I don't know what to think of OKTA ? It jumped up in March to May and has been going down since. Do I keep it or invest the money elsewhere ? Thanks.

Q: Hi, could you please report and comment on CRWD earnings, forcasts and post market reaction ? thank you.

Q: TOI can bounce around a bit but lately it's had some big bad down days. Today its off over 4%. Do you see any reason for it? Anything to be concerned about as the trajectory of the stock is negative?

Q: Around what price would you recommend taking a starter position in NBIS? I read yesterday that they are cancelling 40 million shares and are authorizing a 20% buyback on class A shares, yet not much movement today in price action. Further, are there any options strategies you would recommend for these growth-oriented companies?

Q: SMTC Can you please comment on their recent quarter and update your thoughts since your last comments.

Which other semi conductor companies do they compete with, and how does it compare against them?

Q: In a Presidents Letter several years ago, there was a detailed explanation of why organic growth was more valuable to the company than acquisition growth. In recent quarters organic growth was strong (4-5%) by historical standards. Of course no further information was provided. Do you have a sense of why organic growth has accelerated? Is it the influence of AI improving their businesses? Do you feel the higher organic growth rate is sustainable and if so should that lead to a rerating of the stock valuation?

Thanks.

Q: Would you recommend averaging into more CSU as it’s come way off its peak stock price set not long ago or do you think there’s more downside to come?

Thnx once again for the great service for us DIY investors!!

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on IREN, its valuation, business model and future prospects?

Would you have any names in the same space that you prefer?

Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Do you think Circle could become one of the main players in the Stable Coin space. Also are there others that look promising.
Thanks.

Q: I've owned and held CSU since subscribing with you years ago. I've considered buying this equity for my daughter's fund, growth oriented, and with the recent pullback think this may be an appropriate time. Or... are it's 'sister' companies even better considerations? What say you?

Q: If I buy the dip in gib.a, will I get more growth vs buying LMN for a 3-5 year hold? Thank you

Q: My tech component of my portfolio is 43% and want to rebalance my portfolio so tech is about 33%. In tech CSU is 33% NVDA 20% Shop 15% Rest are about 6% to 8%. Is there 1 or 2 I should sell due to overlap? What should I do?
Also is there an argument that shopify fits into the consumer discretionary space?
Also am I missing a tech name?
Thanks take more credits if needed

Q: Hi Team,

What are your thoughts on Fidelity Global Innovators ETF (FNN-T)?
Would you consider it a buy at the moment?

Are there any similar funds in the same category or style that you would recommend instead?

Thanks very much for your insights,

Jacques IDS

Q: Entegris seems to be in an interesting niche in the semi space, providing specialty engineered chemicals and materials required in the manufacturing process.

Stanley Druckenmiller recently initiated a new position.

Revenues have shrunk 2% over the past year. Wouldn't you expect that with the huge cap ex spend going towards AI right now that they'd be growing? Other semis like KLAC, ASML, LRCX have grown revenues ~25% over the same period.

Why hasn't ENTG participated in this?

Q: Hi there, what would be the best risk to reward AI play on the TSX? Would it be CLS? If not CLS, what name would it be? And could you maybe provide a few names that you have conviction in, in order? Thank you!

Q: Would you agree that an investor has to buy things that are speculative in order to find multi baggers early on? People who were early to the AI market likely had several go to zero and don't care if they hit on Nvidia as an example. I'm asking because I know that Google is in the Quantum field but should an investor consider a basket of stocks like IONQ, D-Wave, Quantum Emotion and BTQ knowing that some will be worthless and some may sky rocket? If an investor was willing to effectively gamble on $10,000 would you concentrate your bet or spread it around? Lastly, which are your three best bets among those I listed?

Thanks

Q: The first questions on PLTR appear in October 2020. At that time the response in general terms could be characterized as “we like it but it is expensive, there is sole party risk…take a small position”. The latest response is quite similar but of course the company is much more widely held.
Today the stock dropped at opening by 5% on high volume, likely some panic selling. By 2pm the stock is down by 2% so it’s climbing up off it’s lows.
My question: has the risk factor on PLTR increased since Oct 2020?
If I have mis-characterized 5i’s position please do not hesitate to correct me.
I do not own the stock but am mulling it over even though the AI sector seems to be weak.
One follow-up question: If NVDA reports good numbers will it raise all AI stocks?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi there, your updated thoughts on SNAP?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5I
I own both SMCI and NBIS. I’ve done very well with both, but my question is is about moving some or all funds from SMCI to NBIS for the reason NBIS may be a much better company.
Volatility doesn’t bother me, just looking at potential end results. Thanks very much for putting me on these two names as I’ve very well
