Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Does Apple’s giving up on Project Titan make you wonder their vision and research ability is subpar? Now they are switching to AI … seems to me they were following the crowd several years ago on EV and are now following the crowd on AI. Maybe a few years later they will give up on AI. Where is their vision? Thanks,

Q: Thanks to 5i, over the recent past, I have DCA these stocks, holding less than 5% with room to add based on your advice.
a) 3% - AXON VRT HPS ISRG LMN
b) 2% - BKNG CLS LLY NVDA CELH
c) 1% - POWL NXT EXP
Please rank those that you would be comfortable adding to [DCA] now - with target percentages. For example, would you add to AXON first and, if so, to what percentage.

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: If you could choose only 1 US stock to invest your entire portfolio in for 10 years, which one would you invest in today? (clearly you would never recommend only 1 stock for an entire portfolio, but if you were forced to, which stock do you have the most faith that it could likely beat the S&P500 index over that time period?)

Q: Would you please give me your evaluation of FLGT's recent quarter. On the surface it appears quite positive, however the stock is down 10%. Was it their guidance that turned the market sour? I am also perplexed - they state they carry $28/share in cash and marketable securities yet the stock is trading at $23 implying that when you strip out cash the business is worth NEGATIVE $148,000,000. Does this mean the market believes something is fundamentally wrong with the business and/or management? Finally, as a shareholder should I be running for the hills or is this a case of the market mispricing an asset?

Many thanks
Scott

Q: Hello, you recommended UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) in the past. The recent launch of an antitrust investigation against UNH has led to a sudden drop in the stock price. I’m curious about your thoughts on this investigation. Do you believe it will cause any damage to the company? And considering the circumstances, do you still consider UNH a good buy? Thank you!

Q: How would you rate ILMN overall since 2024? Is it still a takeover target in your estimation and who would be the top ones that would make most sense to acquire ILMN?

Q: Hi 5i, this company recently tried to sell itself and there were no takers. They now have decided to let go of 25% of the workforce and buy up to 150 million dollars of shares back.

Looks like they will be cash flow positive by next quarter and are starting to get better traction on selling the drug.

The drug patent is for dosing as the chemical composition expires in a couple years. How would you value this company and would you rate it a buy hold or sell.

Q: My wife and I have accumulated a fair amount of cash in our RRSP we would now like to invest. We have at least 5 years time horizon. We are well represented in Oil, Banks, Tech., financial. We have some reits as well. Not much retail or healthcare. We like growth and dividends and not too concerned about higher weightings in the right industries (we are considering more banks and tech, as well as minerals for batteries). We have about 40K which is about 10% of our portfolio. What would you consider good value right now? It seems many tech stocks are priced very high right now so would you avoid tech at the moment? Can you suggest 5 value stocks? Thanks.
