Q: Hello 5i:
I want to add to my AI exposure with a 3 – 5 year horizon.
I already have sufficient TSLA and AAPL, and moderate positions in NVDA and MSFT, and a starting position in PLTR.
What would be your choice(s) for adding to any of these, and/or starting new positions such as AVGO, DELL , TSM, or others? I have avoided GOOG due to possible breakup legislation.
Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: XTRA This company seems to totally fly under the market’s radar. It develops and produces AI tech to provide physical security access at large venues and events. Financials are out soon and optimism is high. Recent multiple new contracts with major sports franchises, arenas and stadiums. Some major player customers (Tesla etc). The technology ought to be deployed at every school entrance across the US. Its major competitor is facing multiple lawsuits over its inferior product and is now embroiled in the New York Mayor/New York Subway contracts scandal. Seems to me the stock price should be on a steep upward projectile, yet it has remained stagnant for ages. What it is about Xtract that the marker doesn’t seem to like? Or is there something more nefarious at play to keep the stock price stifled? Thanks for all your advice and mentoring.

Q: It seems Tesla (TSLA) is no longer a favorite pick in 5i Research. Its CEO, Elon Musk, is working on many interesting projects. If revolutionary projects, such as the humanoid robot, are successful, they could bring billions to the company. I don’t own TSLA. What do you think about TSLA this year, next year, or in the future? Please comment. Thanks in advance.

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: Do you have any recommendations for companies, U.S. or Canadian, that demonstrate good technologies involved in energy storage and smarter distribution systems. Any market cap is fine but fundamentals should be decent. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Given Nvdas recent euphoria, is it time to take profits here or do you see this rise warranted and likely to hold its gains? Looking at market cap it looks set to pass apple and possibly take top spot over Microsoft soon if the stock keeps up this pace of rising. How are valuations looking here compared to the other magnificent 7 and how much possible upside can we possibly gain from here given current valuations ?

Q: I have a few questions re the upcoming Tesla Shareholder vote in June.
1. Do you have any thoughts re how the markets may react if Elon Mush does not get what he wants re his compensation package (in the short and long terms). My thoughts are that the price may drop quite a bit (in the short term) if he does not get what he wants; however, long term I feel that Tesla still has great potential. The reason I am confused with my (short term) logic is that if Elon does not get what he wants, it is the result of shareholders voting against it (so why would the price drop if that is what shareholders want – unless it could cause a sell off for those that wanted the package)?
2. If we feel that the price of shares will drop and wanted to insure our investment, I know that we can buy ”puts”; however, in one of your postings you mentioned that this was an expensive way to do so and that you were going to write something up. I am wondering if you could provide me the link (assuming you’ve had the time to do the writeup). If no writeup, can you provide a few words.

Thanks.

Q: Me thinks that spaceship that fearless leader Blaarg is piloting is actually an elaborate can of worms. In 10 years time, according to some environmentalists, we earthlings may be drowning in our own carbon-laced pollution, unless a better solution to or energy needs can be met. As a pessimistic Albertan, I suspect most of us will still be driving evil combustion engines in 2034; however, I am hopeful that there are some game changers in the energy horizon - maybe not Canadian - that may save the planet. Do you have any suggestions we can put on our watchlist? I'm waiting for 5i to beam me up !
