Investment Q&A

Q: Which offers the best return over the next 5 years, Nbis or Vrt?

Q: Which tax loss proxies would you suggest for the following companies?
Are there some that you would rather stay in cash for a month or just sell out right and buy something unrelated?
I am a bit hesitant to sell BN,GOOG and AMZN for a tax loss as I feel they have the most bounce potential on good news. What do you think of that?

Q: I own the above stocks/funds. Do you think it’s best to continue to hold or sell to purchase different investments?
Thanks

Q: I am looking for tax-loss proxy ideas for the following names: CAN: HPS.A, KSI, VHI. US: NBIS, SYM, FOUR. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you name a few companies that service AI data centres in a structural way such as construction, maintenance/repairs, cooling, etc. Also a few companies that provide the power needed to run these centres. These would be stocks that have good growth ahead of them. Any market cap is fine but at least one small cap and a couple of mid caps. Also a combination of U.S. and Canadian companies.
Thanks.

Q: I have the above stocks all at significant $$ losses in my trading account. I don't need to sell any, but am wondering if I should sell and switch to other similar stocks to lock in capital losses. Do you have an opinion on which you'd sell tomorrow - and a proxy for an equivalent or better replacement. And which ones you would keep due to their unique positioning in the current market? I don't really want to sell and wait 30 days to rebuy the same stock.

Q: With the steep sell-off recently and stock markets coming to terms with a global trade war, which five Canadian and/or US small to mid-cap growth stocks across any sector look most interesting at this point? Looking at starting partial positions as I do not think the bottom is here yet. Thank you

Q: I am, as you put it, sharpening my pencil. Can you comment a bit on the above three companies. How much overlap is there? Which is the one you would rank the lowest of the three? Leaving aside stable mega caps, for the agressive side of my tech holding, are there any others that you would rank in the top 5 to start looking at that are better or roughly in the same class as these? Thank-you.

Q: Could you clarify this recent answer, does this mean you consider these more or less risky than average?
"We would consider PRL a 7/10 on risk and NBIS a 6/10 and TVK also 6/10."
Thanks!

Q: Good morning! After the dust settles will Propel, TeraVest and Nebius still be considered a solid investment for a 10 year hold? Would any of these be classified as a compounder and therefore a buy and forget type of investment? Where would they place on the risk scale with 10 being a high risk?
Thank you for your guidance in these times.

Q: Good recent Q&A on this one (revenue projection, valuation, etc.).

If the tech sector were to plunge in a somewhat similar manner as the Tech bust (2000), is there an example of a company with a market cap comparable to NBIS at that time that initially dropped in sympathy, but was able to recover quicker than the over all sector because of good execution?

Do you have faith in the projected revenue growth of NBIS? Do we know how reliable Arkady Volozh's vision is on this company? I suppose his 25 years of leading Yandex counts for something (?)

Q: Good Day,

I'm a current holder of NVDA. These other names are down 30 - 50%, and IF one were to want to add another of these, what order would you rank them, highest to lowest? Can you please comment a bit on each one including a good price target to buy at, expected growth rates, and, as much as your crystal ball can predict Agent Orange, How much more downside would you anticipate in this space this year? Will solid performing companies eventually just perform their way out of these dips in spite of him? Or will multiple compression from uncertainty continue to plague the markets until he's out of office/gets reined in?

Secondly, on the broader market, with next weeks tarriffs looming, would you trim a few positions, even if they were on position sizes that matched your size/risk profile, to have some extra powder dry for the anticipated overreaction? It feels like so much uncertainty is "priced in", but most things still drive lower when the event that was priced in happens.

Q: Hello Team,

In one answer you stated NBIS is very high risk and in another you stated that half the market cap is in cash. If half the market cap is in cash doesn’t that make it far less risky? Can you please provide a current valuation, your thoughts on the investment thesis and what price it would be a table pounding buy?

Q: Do you think the “invest in the European market” theme might catch on with and support NBIS going forward? Being based in Amsterdam and emerging as of the larger European AI data center providers outside of GCP, AWS, and Azure I see this as a potentially significant tailwind if they can deliver. I’ve also been seeing more direct marketing from Nebius on my Reddit feed which I see as a positive that their sales teams are ramping up. Curious about your perspective on this.

Q: Sorry for the long list, but that's my IT holdings and I need help to get to a more disciplined IT portfolio. About equal weight, except for SHOP which was owned and is currently on watchlist. Question 1- please advise a limited high conviction IT - does 5 sound about right? It would really help me if you could explain why these are chosen as I want to understand my investments. Question 2 - which ones to sell outright so that can redeploy funds? Any to hold for potential high growth potential?

Q: Good Morning

I currently hold both VRT and NBIS. Is there too much duplication/overlap between the two? If that is the case which would you reduce to have only one position?

Thank you

Q: I would like to narrow this list down to the best 10 to hold in a long term taxable portfolio. What would you suggest be the top 10 stocks? I currently hold all of them but would like to sell this down to 10. I like holding 10 stocks with about 10% in each as a risk/reward balance. Thank you - and thanks for some of these names which came from you! I am only down on Amazon and BN at this time.

Q: Hello Team,

Are you able to rank (1 to 13) the above companies on which ones you would purchase today based on pullbacks and who you think has the most upside over the next 2-3 years. Thanks.

Q: These really fell out of favour fast. Would you hold? I am inclined to hold and hope for better days unless it would be better to cut losses and get into something that is also down but might have more promise on the upside? Maybe I’m being too emotional and impatient - I am okay to wait it out unless there is some reason to walk.

Thanks,

Jason

Q: How would you rank the following for a growth oriented long-term hold: NBIS, PLTR, FOUR, SYM, CLBT, GSHD, UFPT, SNOW, CTLP, MSTR, FRSH, APP
