Investment Q&A

Q: Worth buying or not?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Looking for additional exposure in the semi-conductor market. I currently already have a 3% weighting in NVDA. I am looking to potential start a position in AMD or INTC.

Your previous answers to questions suggest you favour AMD (after NVDA) given the companies recent execution.

However, INTC seems to be turning a corner with there plans to build new plants in Arizona in the next few years and change in management. Based on its current valuation (cheap compared to AMD) the current tailwinds of 'on shoring' it seems to me a compelling buy compared to AMD.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate all you do.

Q: With this announcement what would you expect in terms of stock performance going forward if approved? Would you have concerns with this if you were an investor? Long term I believe this best of breed company will be fine but if the stock price will drop a fair bit I would rather add at lower levels. I feel like this is a pretty big dilution but what is your opinion? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Would appreciate you thoughts on GOOG growth for the next 5-10yrs.

Your past answers to questions state that you view this company's valuation as 'cheap' and its cloud services and Waymo as catalysts for greater growth.

However, I can't reconcile that against a potential recession scenario in the next few years were ad revenue could decrease and potential anti trust cases being brought against it.

Thank you,

Greg

Q: With all the supply chain issues, and supply chain management being KXS specialty why was the stock flat in 2021, and down 2022. Supply chain issues persist, KXS does not appear to be capitalizing. Will revenue and share price improve through this year? I know it has been mentioned they have lumpy earnings but the conditions for their products should be very strong.
What am I missing on KXS?

Thank you, Mike

Q: I have owned XIT since 2017 and use it as a proxy for my technology allocation. Based on trying to keep relatively close to my allocation targets, I have trimmed it 14 times and added it 3 times (most recently adding at $47 and $41.

It looks to my amateur eyes that we are near a reasonably strong technical support level of +/- $41, which leads me to consider topping up to my target weighting again. In January I also thought we had support at $46-47...wrong.

However, the forecasted aggressive interest rate hikes might be a headwind to each of the underlying stocks, in which case I am more than happy to sit on the cash to see what happens with the next rate increase or two.

So, it really comes down to SHOP, CSU, GIB.A, OTEX (over 74% of XIT). When you look at each individually, and then in aggregate, what does your crystal ball say for adding at this time? I suspect your answer would include...if it is an asset allocation question, just add/sell now.

Your thoughts? Thanks...Steve
