Investment Q&A

Q: What are your thoughts about this after the big jump..I did not get in the ipo..but considering it..do you think this would be worth considering for a 5 year hold? Thanks. Shyam

Q: GAMB stock price action has been unimpressive yet analysts seem very positive on its future within the realm of gambling stocks. Welcome your thoughts.

Q: Hello 5i
I know that you do not have a crystal ball but I was wondering, if the market upturn continues to broaden out beyond a few technology stocks, would it be better to be invested in rsp or in voo?
Thanks as always for your great service

Q: Hi 5i team! Thanks for your wonderful work.
Are LLY and NVDA going to have similar growth in the short term (next 6 months)? which would perform better in next 6 months? Lastly , if you had to choose between LLY and Novo Nordisk, which would you prefer? Thank you

Q: Your thoughts on Nike today. Would you continue to hold?

Q: Can pls provide any info on this one..why would I want to own this? Nasdaq

Q: I am looking to add some real-estate to my portfolio .
Are there any ETF's or stocks you would recommend.

Q: Could you weigh in on Mitek Systems here. What is in these numbers? Thoughts on going forward? I can't understand why they continue to have issues around reporting?

Q: Can you share your thoughts on DDD and the 3D printing industry? Will AI help this industry to take off?

Q: Would you be comfortable bringing VRT up to a full position? I currently have half a position and uncommitted funds to increase that to a full position. If you would prefer more diversity, can you provide three other suggestions for a US growth stock - not in the consumer cyclical space - for a TFSA? (NVDA already held.) Thank you.

Q: Hello Team,
Do you like either or both of these two, which would you prefer and would you consider them comparable to Amazon for growth?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: In your answer to my question to today about EDGE AI - it was intended to specifically address NTNX role. I know you own it, and I was trying to understand how important a role it could play. But, you did not name it in the stocks that could play a role in EDGE AI.

Q: You recently answered several questions about NXT. This led me to consider FLEX as an investment. What are your thoughts on FLEX? According to the company profile, FLEX pays a 23.169% dividend once a year. Is this correct? Would you still prefer NXT over FLEX? Thank you

Q: Hi gang,
What’s your take on mrvl. Is it a buying opportunity. ?any news? Buy , sell or hold?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Can you please update your opinion on STM? Is it an "Ai company" and if so, why has it not taken off like many of the others? They seem to be focused on "edge ai" which may just be their branding or is it a different way of commercializing AI than what companies like Nvidia do? When I last asked about it in July you seemed somewhat constructive on the stock so I'm intrigued as to what it may be lacking or missing in the minds of investors to cause it to sit out the recent rally. Perhaps it isn't AI enough? Your recommendation on its worthiness as a buy or hold would be appreciated as well as clarification that it is or is not really an AI play and whether that matters to the investment case please.

Q: If you were expecting a bit of a market swoon and don't want to sit on cash what would you consider to be "defensive stocks" or "stocks that benefit" in downturns? I've tried options in the past with mixed (mostly not so good) results so that's not something I would like to do.

Thanks in advance-Dave

Q: Hello,

If you had to chose between OWL vs ARCC, which would you chose. Thanks

Dave

Q: As part of a growth oriented US$ portfolio, I have 1.5% positions in each of VRT and CELH . I now have some extra cash available from taking a bit of the very nice profit in my SMCI holding (thank you, 5i)
My plan was to increase one or both of those 1.5% positions with that cash, but I have also been considering a starter position in AXON. Your comments would be appreciated, and if you think Axon would be your preference, could you give a ballpark buy price.
Many thanks, as always.

Q: You recommended about a month ago the above stocks
Would you still purchase these and can you rank them in order of which to buy first?
ESTC seems to have fallen a lot- is it still a buy?
Thank you

Q: Hi -

It's usually enough to read the answers to other questions, but thought I would finally ask one. I am down on the three companies above. I am relatively new to investing and started in 2021 at all time highs. Being new to the stock market, it was interesting to watch some of my shares go down but for most part I am confident they are good long term and it is much more fun watching them go back up! I'm about 10 years away from retirement and for the most part plan to hold long term. Would you consider any of these a sell (PARA?), and add any of the following today...AVGO, HD, SBUX, AAPL. What would a few of your highest conviction US companies (any sector) be if not adding to those mentioned (already own MSFT, GOOGL,V). If considered a hold, I do have some cash to add or start a new position. I've been watching CROX, but just not purchased yet.

Thank you! Always enjoy reading the questions and monthly report updates.
