Q: Hello, if you had to select just one company between AMAT and MU, what would it be? Is there one of these two companies that is debt free? Are they direct competitor? This would be for a long term investment in my TFSA. Thanks, Gervais

Q: Hello team,

There is a lot of debate about how AMD may actually, not in so distant a future, steal the show from NVDA by beating them in their GPU technology as well as other areas such AI technology. So which one do you side with NVDA or AMD? NVDA is a leader for now but would you invest in AMD if you were looking or even faster growth for a similar risk?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Q: Yesterday, I noted your warm response to a question a CRM and, when I looked at what they do, it occurred to me (who admittedly knows little about these new cloud-driven services) that it might be rather similar to SHOP. If so, is their a thought on how to choose a likely winner in this space? Also, I note that DOCU seems to be doing well in this space.

Thanks, as always for you wisdom and guidance,

Bob

Q: I read the blog post on best US dividends.

5) IVZ - Invesco Ltd
4) AMAT - Applied Materials
3) T - AT&T
2) WBA - Walgreens Boots Alliance
1) CAH - Cardinal Health

What do you think of these? If I bought US Cash now to get some exposure are these relatively safe to hold for income and potential growth in the next 1 – 5 years?

I searched past questions on a few of these and I didn’t necessarily see 5i recommending them. Interested to know your thoughts / ranking.

Thanks.

Q: "MKSI" share price dropped more than 7% yesterday, what happened? Shall I hold or sale my position? Is "MKSI" a leader in the sector? or what is their ranking in the sector? Who is holding a leadership role? What is your view to the company's future? Is this a expensive stock?

Thanks,
Lin

Q: Hello Folks:
My only health care stock is a 7% weighting of JNJ. I am considering adding UNH... would you think this prudent with this stock’s PE at 23%. What is your view on JNJ; would it be reasonable to fund a UNH purchase by selling some JNJ or would you use other money?
Thanks again for your “most valuable service”!

Q: I asked 5i about WEC in September 2017. I have held it, to my regret. I now seek a FRESH and independent look by 5i re WEC. Sabrient is a quant shop I have followed for a few years and I was alarmed to see them slap a “STRONG SELL” on WEC. Thomson Reuters is mostly neutral although they appear (I think) positive on the future, in that they gave WEC a 10 out of 10 in their section “Earnings Outlook” . A couple of other analysts I read show WEC as a hold or neutral. I show considerable loss on WEC (almost as bad as I have on ENB.ca). Is the drop in value in WEC and other utilities due to actual or prospective increases in interest rates? If yes, do you think the market has now baked all that into current price? Would you hold? (Can't use as tax loss). If you would sell, please suggest 2 or 3 US names to replace it with?
