Investment Q&A

Q: Would like your thoughts on this company and whether it is a buy, sell or hold. Thank you!

Q: 3 short questions:
(1)XSU:CA is the TSX listed hedged version of IWM:US. Is there an unhedged version of IWM:US on the TSX?
(2) Is there a listing on the TSX for IWN:US; either hedged or unhedged?
(3) XSMC:CA (100% IJR:US) has net assets of only $35M compared to net assets of $544M for XSU:CA (100% IWM). Can I conclude from this that IWM is the more popular US small cap ETF in Canada? 5i research has suggest the IJR holds larger, possibly more stable US small caps compared to IWM.
Thanks!

Q: How do you explain the amazing financial results of speciality insurance group lately. Can we expect a continuation, should we be aware of possible headwind in the futur?

Thanks

Q: I believe these 2 companies are in the same sector, Information Technology. Both are supposed to have weak performance in 2024. Do you consider one company better than the other? Do you agree that they are not competitor's, each having their own separate niche? Do you think COHR is a better run company than KEYS? COHR's share price seems to be acting better than KEYS which may have more to do with COHR's proximity to AI. I'm mulling over selling KEYS to buy more COHR. Already got lots of NVDA and SMCI. I see COHR's CEO is retiring, potentially increasing the risk profile of the company.
Not sure what to do!

Jim

Q: How would you rank the named companies for inclusion in a balanced portfolio today? Would the rankings shift for a growth portfolio?

Q: I have read that this company is going to be very important in the application of AI, as a lot of business will be using it but will need the help to apply it. Any other companies that do the same?
Thanks Again

Q: Hello. Cintas Corporation has consistently caught my attention, but its stock price continues to climb. What insights can you provide about this company? Do you believe it’s a suitable core component for a diversified portfolio with long-term growth potential? Is it a good buy at the current price? Thank you

Q: This is a company you have recommended in the past. I see now you feel it is a sell. Is there no chance for a turn around if one is a patient investor or is it at risk now of going out of business? If you can please describe what is happening with this company and their plans it would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,

Your comments on recent quarter and year end results from Quanta Services (PWR) would be appreciated.

For a long term hold is this stock a buy, sell or hold?

Could you also provide other companies in this space that provide these kind of services to renewables? Do you see them as being any better than PWR?

Thanks!!

Q: Give me your thoughts on this company is it all what they are crowing about.

Q: I am wondering what you think the risk is with nvidia vis-a-vis the tensions between the US and China. My understanding is that nvidia's supply chain is heavily based in Taiwan. Should China overtake Taiwan, what do you think the impact would be to nvidia? Are there alternate sources elsewhere worldwide (considering supply chain constraints)? Presently, the US government is restricting what nvidia can ship to China and I must assume that China would probably reciprocate should they take control of Taiwan. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Are there alternatives to MITK and BKNG that you feel would be better to have in a portfolio today?

Q: Looking to build a position in renewable. You often suggested Brookfield but digging the sector, results of Constellation seem more impressive. I don't know what to do. Your analysis and advice will be appreciated;

Thanks

Q: Hi. Thoughts on recent earnings? Do you know what the free cash flow yield is, on a forward basis? Seems pricey at these levels. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
Would you go overweight in either /both targeting a double in two years? Alternatively, will you assign a probability with 90% confidence on a return in two years? I just want to know how you view these stocks currently.

Q: A recent comment of "But we do prefer higher-growth companies" than LNTH, which companies would you be referring to?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi 5i,

Thoughts on NEM looks like a dividend cut and pretty big sell-off. I this one a sell now?

Q: Its likely this has been asked before but I couldn't find it... Besides the big guns NVDA, MSFT etc what smaller AI players providing the picks & shovels look good forward ? Which ones would make good targets for the big guys ? Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
Now that NVDA earnings have completely proved the markets “fear” going into the print completely wrong ; what’s your take on the stock going forward ? Continued momentum? Buy, trim , hold ? The way it looks to me comparing valuations and insane revenue growth rates NVDA might be on its way from #3 spot to eventually taking over both apple and Msft as largest company. Do you see this as correct? The crazy thing is AI is just getting started. Seems like a huge market for NVDA going forward with many countries that haven’t even touched the surface of getting started. I don’t want to sound overly bullish but looking at the future of the world dynamics with digitization of everything this seems to be the future . This being said ; there will be massive demand for data center infrastructure. What companies are the best to play this ? HPS.A seems like data center infrastructure will be a big area of growth for them . Your thoughts please , Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i
I ignored Warren Buffer’s advice to never invest in airlines and I have been holding onto that small amount of Southwest Airlines waiting for it to make a comeback. Long wait. But, i see it starting to edge up on a fairly steady basis lately. That has me wondering whether i should buy a bit more. But, maybe belated, i am pretty gunshy of airlines. Maybe i would be better to put that money elsewhere. Wondering what your prognosis is for a company like Southwest? Buy more or look elsewhere?
Thanks
