Investment Q&A

Q: Generally speaking, within one's bond portfolio what percentages of the portfolio would you allocate to the three ETF's mentioned.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
May please have your thoughts on NVDA's announcement that META and ORCL will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
Do you have an opinion on how much this will affect ANET's market position?
Would you look at exiting a position in ANET based on this competitive threat?
ANET is down 13% on Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks so much.

"Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) stock fell 2.4% Monday after NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced that Meta (NASDAQ:META) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
NVIDIA revealed that Meta will integrate Spectrum Ethernet switches into its networking infrastructure for the Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS), while Oracle plans to build giga-scale AI supercomputers with Spectrum-X Ethernet switches.
The announcement appears to have triggered concerns about potential competition for Arista Networks, which is a major provider of cloud networking solutions and data center switches. Investors may be viewing NVIDIA’s expanding footprint in the networking space as a competitive threat to Arista’s market position."

Q: Do you think this is a hold considering all the problems with the the auto industry?

Q: Do you have any recommendations for Canadian small cap gold stocks?

Q: 5i,
what is driving BKSY down today?

Q: Can you give me your opinion on this company.

Q: I just bought a small position in Jaguar Mining. I have never considered JAG an interesting gold mining company but it came to my attention that currently there is an interesting turn around story at JAG. JAG had an accident at their turmalina mine which took one of their two mines off line as well as it saddled JAG with a $50 USD fine from the Brazilian government. Subsequently that fine has been reduced to $10 USD and turmalina is scheduled to be back producing gold in 2026. Meanwhile the high price of gold has allowed JAG to have free cash flow even with only on performing mine. So IF all goes well with the restart of turmalina and the price of gold is good, let's say over $3500 per ounce, JAG should have good cash flow.
What I don't understand is why JAG raised $28 million on Tuesday with an equity raise. Through reading articles I was lead to believe that JAG had net cash on the balance sheet, so why would they raise more? Can you use your bloomberg terminal and confirm if JAG has debt or net cash on the balance sheet prior to the equity raise? I am considering of adding to my position of JAG because of the turn around potential, but what do the 5i guys think of JAG. I have lots of Agnico and B2Gold plus a little bit of aalmos and K9 in Papau Guinea so I am looking for somethin a little more speculative in a junior gold producer, do you have other ideas? Also about 48 per cent of Jaguar shares are owned by Eric Sprott (I believe it is his personal holding since they are held via a numbered company in Ontario). I look at that as a positive but is there a downside to have one rich dude nearly controlling the company? I know this is long question!

Q: I have one more question about Jaguar Mining. Upon rereading the press release about the equity raise it was called a "life private placement". Can you explain what that is?

Q: Hi,
I have too many small positions with a 1% holding in the stocks listed above. I would like to sell one and increase the holdings of the other 2 stocks. Which one would you sell? No tax implications and want to keep which ever you think has the best outlook going forward.
Thanks
Kerri

Q: I don't have any uranium stocks. Would Cameco fit the bill or should I look at an etf to be more diversified. thanks and Greetings, Peter

Q: Hi

I was wondering your thoughts on BMO and its sale of branches to First Citizens Bank. What do you think of the transaction, any issues with BMO's credit quality (does this improve), is there an overhang on the stock with the pending deal and timing of the close. Overall - is BMO more attractive after this announcement and do you view it as a buy, sell or hold.

Q: Apologies for asking something I’m pretty sure has been asked before in various ways; which version of Brookfield Renewables would you place in a TFSA and very briefly why? Thanks,

Q: Is this a good buy right now for a 5 year hold, and what is their dividend %.
Thanks

Q: Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc.

Buy? What are the real possibility of it working out?

Thank you.

Q: I can find no references in Questions to this company but I am sure it once downplayed as too small and speculative. Since then the company has received a NASDQ listing and gone from $3 to a recent high of $20.75. Do you have any comments on this company.

Q: Good Day,

With the end of the year approaching and the US poking the tarriff bear again (pun... intended?), do you see more selling/profit taking coming in the end of the year?

It seems many names have either been hit by these latest developments, have unsubstantiated short report attacks, or have no news declines. What are some of your favourite names right now that have solid outlooks/execution and some real potential for strong recovery? Say 10 names, mix of Canada and US with attractive entry prices?

Secondly, what would be your main buy targets likely to see tax loss selling? What would be an attractive entry price for them?

No need for megacap names, I'm well represented there.

Thanks!

James
