Gratefully,

Q: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: Please rank the following companies based on expected growth over the next 5 years as well as a risk rating. (10 being the riskiest)

Thank you

Q: In an otherwise diversified TFSA - I'm looking at adding a small (aggressive) position - given the current price on some of the above and many recent questions/comments on others - I've come up with some candidates.

Can you give me your thoughts on which one(s) you might choose?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Hello there,
What are your thoughts on HIVE and its AI / high-performance computing business. Do they have any potential in developing that segment knowing the high amount of funding required to be competitive.
Thank you.

Q: I have an oversized position in Alphabet. Could you offer some alternatives, yet staying in the similar tech industry, and whose prices seem reasonably priced.

Thanks,

Q: My daughter's portfolio consists of the above stocks (CSU, ENB ,IFC, ISRG, SIS, SHOP, WSP, ZSP). She likes to hold good stocks for along time. She Is comfortable with moderate risk and has a long runway for investment. She has money to invest and would like to add stocks which would improve the balance of her portfolio. Could you suggest a few stocks to help her achieve her goal. She is not adverse to owning 1 or 2 higher risk growth stocks. Thank you for your help.

Q: In the last few months, I am up over 80% on both NBIS and RKLB. I would never have dicovered them without 5i. So this is just a big THANK YOU!

Q: Hi a follow up to my previous question.
What do you believe as the best buying opportunity in the “US market” these days? 1 small cap stock 1 mid cap stock 1 large cap stock 1 ETF Thank you

Q: NBIS market cap is much lower than CRWV yet NIBS has more offerings in autonomous driving, robotics, training etc. It was nice to see the recent GS price target of $68.

Do you see a pathway for NBIS market cap to expand further as they continue to execute and get discovered?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

The earnings season is about to begin! VRT on 23/07 and NBIS on 31/07. I know you don't like to buy something purely based on one quarter's earnings. But if one needs to add to an existing VRT position, is it prudent to wait or add now? I have no position in NBIS. Should one buy now or wait till the earnings or out? The main reason I am asking is NOT to time the market but to avoid that free fall that sometimes these earnings bring on! Seem to be more unpredictable nowadays than ever before!

Q: With the run of NVDA over the last few year I now have a HUGE position in the stock and need to trim it.
Can you suggest 5 Canadian or US companies that could be the next NVDA in the next 5+ years and their growth and risk as well as any other details you may have on the companies.

Thanks
Joe

Q: How would you rank the listed companies for new money today in a growth oriented portfolio?

Q: I'm thinking that we are still in early innings of the AI / Data Centre / Power Consumption game. Assuming that to be true, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to capitalize on this opportunity. So, what are the top 3 to 5 sectors & their companies you would curate in a portfolio to "win" this series over the long term and why? I would appreciate your valuable insight once again. Thank you.

Q: What are some companies that would meet the criteria of accelerating earnings earnings surprises broker upgrades increase trade volume that 5i discussed on July 7 I am thinking CLS Any others that come to mind? Thx

Q: SMCI Good morning,
Looking into buying smci. Are they done with their accounting problems?
Would you buy at today’s price?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: CSU has grown too large a position in my portfolio, and I am very reluctantly (sadly even) forcing myself to sell a portion.

Along with some additional free capital, I am considering adding four new positions.

I am indifferent to industry, size or region. This is all about growth.

I am willing to hold for many years, but I want companies that are proven winners and very well-positioned to grow aggressively in the long term. Ideally, companies that are standouts in their industry.

How would you rank the above positions in terms of risk (1-10), short-term growth (1-10) and long-term growth (1-10)?

If you have additional suggestions not on my list that may be more suitable, please include them in your analysis.

Thanks for your outstanding service. I owe the bulk of my financial success to you and your team.

Subtract as many credits as needed.

Q: This is a hard stock to stomach. Do the wild swings in price have to do with the fact that it is not heavily traded? What size of a position would you recommend that an aggressive investor hold in a portfolio? My thinking with this name is that you either have to trade it or hold it and forget it. I am inclined to go with the latter option, subject to your comments about valuation. I note that the short float has increased recently which always makes me nervous. Thank you, Jason

Q: Are there US stocks that fall under the buying opportunity for 3-5 years compared to a Long term hold ( > 5 years ). Or vice versa.

Can you please suggest 5 for each? Do you prefer US or CND equities these days, and why?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles
