Q: Hi 5i,

A little disappointed with the performance of these two stocks. Are there worth holding? What would help sway your decision one way or another?

If you had to replace them with two stocks that have a higher likelihood for better performance, which would you choose?

Thanks!

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor with a well diversified portfolio (in my opinion anyway). My proxy for the technology sector is XIT and it has performed very well over the long time period I have held it. I like using your charting ability to compare XIT to QQQ or other related tech companies or ETFs....great feature!


Question #1 = With all of the "AI" interest right now, I wonder how much exposure does XIT have to the AI theme? Which of the embedded companies within XIT have AI exposure?

Question # 2 = Is there is an ETF that focuses on AI-related companies or is there an ETF that focuses on AI-generated stock picks (in any sector) and what your thoughts are?

Thanks....Steve

Q: It is said that AI will decrease the need for software or processes provided by software technology companies. Some fund managers have said that they have reduced their software holdings. Of the companies listed, are any more "immune" to the effects of AI?

Q: Hello 5i

Kxs has been pretending to be a growth stock now for five years…..trading sideways with price move failures at or below $200.

I do not have the luxury of holding since lows so really been watching dead money in a long term portfolio.

What valuation metric are investors waiting for Kxs to grow into?
Analysts have indicated lower prices ahead and have been right on this name again.

What’s it going to take?
Or is this finally a sell despite positive comments about recent earnings?

Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi, similar to a previous question, I've held DSG for awhile at about 4% of my portfolio and have come out a bit ahead. Would YOU think it might be a good time to sell half and begin a position into KXS? Or continue to hold DSG and initiate a position into KXS more slowly?
As a new 'customer,' I'm really appreciating all your advice! Thank you!

Q: I noticed you prefer KSX over DSG recently, and I’m wondering why. Or is GSY the better choice of the three? I have held all three for a few years and due to timing issues I have a much higher gain on DSG and GSY. I know past performance does not guarantee future results, but can’t get over my negative bias towards KSX. Also I have too many different stocks and know I should concentrate more. (I.e. 20 vs 30+)
