Investment Q&A

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

Q: HOOD I don’t own do you still see value at these prices or should I wait for a pull back?
SRAD and NBIS I own but would like to buy more what would be a good entry price?

Q: Do any of these companies fwd P/E's or P/S's concern you at all vs their expected growth rates?

They range from 50x to 127x. I'm looking to increase positions in NBIS/SRAD/GENI so I'm thinking of trimming some of these higher valuation names to add to these lower position names. However, I don't want to trim these long term compounders if they still have legs, but at such high valuations, when does it make sense to trim a name like CRWD to add to NBIS currently? I understand that great companies generally have higher valuations for a reason and investors have to pay up for great long term compounders. Thank you!

Q: I hold all these tech stocks as part of a well diversified portfolio with weightings below. Tech stocks are 25% weight in my overall portfolio. The issue I'm having is determining how many to hold in this sector and what weight to allocate each. All new names that I see on my potential watchlist with high growth seem to be all tech names as well (CRWV, CRCL, SRAD, GENI, RDDT, etc..) but I'm hesitant adding more tech if my holdings are already high quality unless one of them is dragging its feet. I'm trying to balance between holding long term compounders like CSU, LMN, TOI vs high growth shorter term names like NBIS, VRT, CLS that are benefitting from AI tailwinds which could turn quicker. Do I hold 5 companies at 5% or 10 companies at a mix between 2%-5%.

Do you see any overlap here in names that could be combined? If you had to rank these names based on growth and risk/reward, what would they be currently for the next 5-10 years? What is the high level process you go through when trying to determine between candidates for a sector? Thank you!

Q: Do you see the above as a buy today? If so in what order and at what price? Would these stocks be suitable for a 10 year hold?
Thanks again for doing the heavy lifting for us.

Q: I consider these moonshot type stocks. I am in nbis nv but not the others. Are any of them worth buying at these prices? I would have to sell more established stocks like google, tsm, Avgo, asml to raise funds. I am reluctant to sell a more established name to buy a winger but it’s hard to see the moonshots go up so much and not have fomo. Thanks.

Q: Of these 2 companies, which is the preferred “horse to ride”??

Q: Can you recommend some stocks in Robotics?

Q: hi folks, 2 n/r by Nebius today...1 mentioning Europe & Nvidia Blackwell chips....were these "significant" business news/ventures??...stock flat , but has had big run....if owned at $30sh level...would U be adding at $52sh level...thx, jb

Q: Hi,

AXON
NBIS
NVDA
Thanks

Q: Any thoughts on etoro? I know it is still relatively new and you like for a few quarters before investing in new IPOs. HOOD has done really well, could etoro follow in the same path? Would you be a buyer currently in hood or etoro? Also, do you like NBIS after this recent jump in price? Thanks!

Q: I purchased my initial position at $42 just prior to the Deepseek (of course!) news and have held on since. I am wondering about adding due to your recent commentary re:good balance sheet, new analyst coverage, positive momentum, very cheap valuation vs peers and strong business model. I know you don’t support ‘back up the truck’ emotional statements but I’m wondering if this might be another 5i example of getting into a potential multi-bagger in the early stages. Could you please comment on NBIS’ potential 3-5 years down the road. Thanks so much for your expertise!

Q: Good morning. I bought these 2 last year around July or August in an unregistered 12 stock US account.
AGX is a triple, 9.8% of the portfolio ,CRS a double, 8.1% of the portfolio.
What do you see for them going forward? Do I trim? If so do add to NBIS , CLBT or SRAD. Thank you David
