Investment Q&A

Q: We have held ABBV for the past five years in our two RRIF accounts. It is now a 4.1% position with a 120% gain. Is it time to take profits and move on, given that the dividend is now at a yield just around 3%. Are there better health care dividend growth positions? ETF's or single stocks. It is a solid company. Is it best to just keep holding.

Q: Hi 5i, may I have your thoughts on Honeywell vs RTX? Looking for a US industrial and if you could list your top 5, looking for a large cap. Thx.

Q: A couple of days ago I think VW released a video showing the performance of a Ducati motorcycle using a QS battery. The stock responded with a 20% increase on high volume. The stock gave up 10% the next day, but that’s OK. EV Motorbikes exist but they seem to be fairly small and slow. My question…do you think the Ducati is a powerful racing type of bike so it is reasonable to infer that QS’s battery is more powerful than the current battery technology?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Oracle's outlook seems to have reverberated through adjacent companies with VRT, MOD, etc., etc., all popping. Ellison has made some pretty remarkable statements about expected growth over the next 4 years, and he does not appear, to me anyway, to be overselling.

My question is about three areas to look at:
1) Other cloud service providers.
2) The nuts and bolts builders of the data centers.
3) Companies in the electrical storage areas that might service the above.

However I have one main caveat, I am only interested in companies that have not had a 1,000% gain in the last 5 years. I know that might seem like a ridiculous criterion, but I keep imagining MOD or STRL investors running for the hills on a serious market pullback.

Thank-you again.

Q: Hi,
I know, lots of names here - feel free to take extra points. These mostly looks pretty good to me technically and I believe they've had good earnings. Of the list which are your favourites? Do any have negative things to be aware of, and if buying what order might you accumulate them in?
Many thanks for all your helpful insight!

Q: Can you evaluate the potential growth of SERV? I saw it as one of 16 names in AI that Wedbush was profiling as an under the radar play among larger players. Average target prices suggest 66% (from what Trade shows) upside which makes me skeptical. Is the autonomous delivery market big enough to justify this optimism? Small market cap and pretty flat this year. Worth a small position or too speculative?

Q: Hi again,
Like CLS, these stocks have risen quickly and might be overvalued. Like CLS, some analysts seem to think the ride can continue.
Would you be comfortable initiating a position, at which price and why, please?
Thank you

Q: Given recent big leap in share prices of both companies, especially ORCL earnings were a slightly miss while NBIS's recent financing, both shares are still a buy now, or waiting for the hyper to be settled for a better entry point ? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I thought I asked this question but maybe it didn’t go through.
The last question on ROOT you indicated it looked good but it was very expensive.
Now that it has dropped 30+% how does it look?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What would you consider a good entry price for Netflix today?

Q: Good afternoon,

I have been purchasing ISRG on its' slide, taking advantage of lower price points then stopping a few months ago at 1/2 a position.

You provided some comment on the company last week, and I would like to follow up

- below what price do you view ISRG stock as a clear buy opportunity?
- would you buy in small bites if this decline continues or at this point hold until something catalyzes the stocks rise?
- what are the factors causing the continued downward drift at this time?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I have a question about 442
why is ISRG down so much? thanks Richard

Q: This Tom Lee run company is modeled after Mr Saylor's MSTR but is based on ether instead of bitcoin. I own a small position in BMNR which though volatile is currently up from my entry price. You explained the value reduction of MSTR in a recent question based on competition. You referred to the investment approach in its current circumstances as "Ponzi-like." Could you explain your view on BMNR and whether it too has a Ponzi-like set up. Also if you held this equity would you sell and instead hold an ether ETF as a "safer" way to invest in ether as you recommended regarding MSTR and investing in bitcoin or is there a distinction between MSTR and BTMR such that you would continue to hold the latter. Appreciate your response.

Q: I have owned MRVL since the early days of the tech growth story. I felt it would be one firm that could grow their business exponentially as the tech story evolved. That has not been the case.

I would appreciate your opinion on MRVL as a future growth story, or should it fail to hold up to scrutiny, what 2 firms would fit my involvement in the story (if any). I hold NVDA, AMD, CLS, ASML, MSFT and PWR as representative of the buildout of the AI/Datacenter environment.

Thanks, as always, for your comments.

Q: I have owned ALNY for a couple of years now and it has done very well. As there are no other questions I assume you likely don't follow it. It recently spiked up again and I'm starting to get worried that I should sell some. I realize you can't give personal advice. However, can you provide me analytics that would help me to make a more informed decision. Thanks.

Q: Between ALAB and VRT which do you think will perform better for the next year?
Do you see either declining for the year?
Thank You
Peter

Q: At what level would you hold NBIS - full position, half position or…?

Q: Hi there, regarding your recent answer to fashion retailers, where in your opinion do you see price support for LULU being?

Also, where in your opinion do you see the bottom in a market correction where it becomes too irresistible to start adding for a full position?

Thanks!

Q: Considering buying SBUX because of its new leader. But I find LKNCY very attractive as well. - with good momentum this year.

What would your inclination be here? ….or both?

Thanks.

Q: could you confirm if Pagaya DOES NOT take any credit obligation from issuing personal loan asset-backed securities?
This was my ChatGPT research that provided this answer.
This would be an ideal business that just facilitates these transactions.
I put a laughably small amount into this stock so that i would not forget about it. I am up 23% and now want to initiate a 2% position.
