Investment Q&A

Q: I would appreciate an updated view of 5N Plus Inc. Thanks!

Q: I have a small position in this company and am break even. What are its prospects? would you add, sell or hold?

Q: Shop has an extremely high churn rate.
That means that they cannot retain their customers.Many businesses try Shopify but throw in the towel after a while as its not customers friendly.
With higher fees the churn rate will even be higher.
Why does nobody see this and you do not mention it either.
This will go the way of Nortel eventually?

Q: Hi, Thanks for your conviction and rock solid positive view on the company helping many of us to remain calm when stock was selling off during last quarter of 2022. In more than many ways, stock price has supported your thesis, latest proof being company's ability to increase their prices by 33%. Do you think that last 3 weeks move and specially Today's 11% move in a day was caused by fundamental reasons like this price increase, Deutsche Bank upgrade and market expectation of strong results ? Or, it's the short sellers caught off guard and running for cover ? We know that 5i increased SHOP position recently in the Balanced Portfolio( and we followed suit ), which proved to be a great tactical move !! Has the recent price action influenced your outlook on the company and its stock, for better or worse ? Thank You.

Q: Can you comment on the recent agreement and the prospects of this company go forward. Is the stock a buy, sell or hold. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I have small 0.8% positions, in both PINS and APPS, in an unregistered account.

Looking for advice on possible consolidation:

1) Consolidate APPS into PINS
2) Consolidate PINS into APPS
3) Consolidate both APPS and PINS into TTD, PERI or MELI.
4) Do nothing.

5+ year time-frame with high risk tolerance.


Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

Can chatGPT replace google as a search engine ( Have read this in some news stories) ? Also, Bing is going to soon have a link for chatGPT on its home page.

Does google have a moat around itself, is it so easy to beat/replace google ?

Should we exiit Google and move to MSFT before this happens.....or is it safer to sell Google and move to something like QQQ or VGT ?

Does having those billions of indexed search pages that google have, give it a moat ?
This would be a more apt question for a IT guy....but a lot is at stake here.

Please share your views.

Q: Hello Team,

I am looking to add to these mega caps names. Which of these 3 do you prefer and why? Also, what would be 1) good prices and 2) great prices to be buying them at.

Thank you!

Q: I'm primarily a growth investor with a tolerance for risk. I do not have any semi-conductor companies in my portfolio. I was considering AMD or NVDA but I'm not wondering if AEHR might be good play to consider since it does chip testing. It does seem to be growing revenue quickly and surprising the market with it's earnings. What comments/advice do you have wrt to how I should think about the chip players including the high tech testing play that AEHR offers? Thanks!

Q: Have just sold MAGT after the news of the takeover. Looking to use the funds to top up one of 4 smaller technology positions, KXS, NVEI, TIXT and TOI. Already have full positions in CSU and DSG. How would you rank KXS, NVEI, TIXT and TOI for an add now, and I would appreciate a couple of reasons for the one or two you like best. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Looking to have your thoughts on why Topicus is not participating in the recent tech rally that's been going on...especially yesterday? I know its a odd trader. But is there anything fundamental holding it back? Or do big investors (fund managers and such) avoid it because they are not share issuers? This being said...do you also see this as an opportune to add, with anticipating that TOI shares will eventually "catch up" to the over all tech bounce here? Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: Fidelity recently bought a large position in LSPD. Fundamentally every buy means someone sold. - someone believes and someone does not. What does that mean when a large brokerage house buys a large position. Is the buy for position to sell after an initial gain? A long position, to keep forever like the Quebec pension fund? Is this because it is oversold? This question can be in relation to any company. Clayton

Q: Hi Team,

Do you see this as legitimate business model similar to a hard asset miner but 'digital' instead? Or do you see this more as fluff and a casino model? Trying to objectively look at both sides.

Which 2 or 3 would you consider if one was to purchase?

Thanks!

Q: What is/will be happening and what are your suggestions?

Q: could you please recommend a Cybersecurity ETF or two top stock suggestions and if good to buy now or average in.
Thanks

Q: I currently have no tech holdings. Could you please give your 3 top recommendations given current conditions and if it would be best to take full positions now or maybe average in over the year.
thanks

Q: Hi there,

With MAGT getting taken out, are there any other names which could be a good takeout candidate? Would STC, SYZ and CTS all into this category? Would there be any others?

Thanks!

Q: My son has a small portfolio consisting of two ETF’s and seven stocks (CN, AAXN, NVDA, CRWD, DDOG, DIS, TTWO). We have picked stocks that have good potential, but that are also fun for him to follow. He is using the ETF’s to give his portfolio some diversification with 20% in ZSP and 15% in XIT. He is investing for the long term. He now has some extra cash to buy another stock or two. Would you have some suggestions? We are also thinking of selling XIT and splitting the proceeds between CSU and maybe one other stock. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on the takeover of magnet forensics? Only a 15% premium…
What does this mean for me as a shareholder, and so you see any competing offers? Should I hold, or sell and re-invest the capital elsewhere?
Thank you for your insight

Q: Long time subscriber. I know back in 2018, 2019 and 2020 this often came up on the questions recommendation lists. How does NVIDIA fare now? Is this still a growth story and is this a good entry point?
