Investment Q&A

Q: The recent price drop looks like more than a minor correction. Your thoughts, please. Thanks Jim

Q: I recently sold Nvidia in my tfsa. I sold a call option on it and it was pretty close to the strike price, I let it get called away, since I am overweight Nvidia. Now that it is down I am tempted to buy it again. I can’t let myself forget the overweight aspect, though. Do you have another suggestion that I could replace it with? I want something nearly as good that I can sell options on, thus no or a small dividend. Sector doesn’t matter. I am also full weight on Shopify and Google. I am also open to smaller stocks that could show growth and are relatively safe—celestica and Nebius?
Thanks

Q: The dynamic of how business operates in the US has continued to change and there are now new creative
few structures being charged for international
business, most notably this week to American chip manufacturers for exporting to China. To what degree do you see potential for Canadian companies to be hamstrung for US operations in new creative ‘pay-to-play’ ways? It seems increasingly possible that anything is possible, especially where it doesn’t directly impact the US voter base.

Q: I reviewed the executive commentary for the most recent quarter of AMD and found it somewhat less than inspiring. Nevertheless the stock did OK. Was this just going along on an up market day or were there hidden gems that I missed
I look forward to your valuable insight.
Thanks
Ian

Q: A lead article in the NYT this morning stated that NVDA and AMD are expected to pay 15% of the money they take in from selling AI chips to China. It appears to be the price they must pay to do business with China. There is some concern about security issues. I would appreciate your take on this news,

Q: Hi,
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think CRWV will fair on next weeks earnings. A lot of analysts seem to have it on 'hold' and I'm not sure that's just due to earnings being close, or lack of confidence in the stock.
Many thanks for all you're insight!

Q: Which would you own for growth?

Q: Good morning 5i
could you please provide a number of US non dividend paying stocks that would be good for selling covered call options on in the current environment. thanks

Q: Since a few weeks amd seems becoming again interesting as a promising stock. Please tell me your thoughts on that and how amd would be in a better position now in view of the ai market development in the coming years.

Thank you for wonderful work you're doing

Q: In your opinion how safe is it hold AMD at the current price of this stock?

Do you see a reason to go higher or do you see a reason for the stock price to decrease?

Thank you.

Q: Well happy days for all chip companies. With the recent about face and being able to sell "lower" end chips again to the Chinese market how do you see this playing out for these 2 companies and others? With NVDA hitting a 4trillion value without being able to sell in this market where could their valuation go from here in your opinion?
What percentage of the Chinese market did they have prior to the embargo that has now been lifted?

Thanks

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: Happy Summer day 5i Community :

Could I have your opinion of this ETF if it is worth to give a try and rick facts associated with it please?

Thanks,

Q: Good morning 5i
I would like your advice on a covered call options strategy. To date I have been selling covered call options on stocks I already own, such as Nvidia, Meta, Google, Shopify, etc. I sell mostly three week to monthly expiry dates. I usual tend to buy back and roll out if the market price surpasses my strike price. ( which I have been doing more frequently, recently).

All of these stocks have very high embedded capital gains and i wouldn’t want to pay the tax if called away. So far buying back and rolling out has worked well, though.

But, I am looking at other strategies, such as buying two or three good stocks, such as amd , palientir, etc specifically to sell call options. Here being called away is not a problem, as one would have little capital gains tax and , say in the case of amd, wouldn’t miss losing it, since I hold Nvidia.

Another possibility is to sell call options on a relatively volatile etf, such as QQQ.

I highly appreciate your advice, as I do in all investing questions

Q: On semi-conductor chips, I already own NVDA (since 2023). Considering adding another with your help.
I really don't see chip demand letting up anytime soon (Ai, robotics, autonomous vehicles, cellphones, IoT, etc).
With TSMC opening mfg plants in Arizona, maybe some of the geopolitical risk is tempered now.
Is QComm the dark horse?

THX.

Q: AMD is soaring this morning and I’m not able to see a clear reason why. Is this related to their improved method for chip stacking?

Q: I recently sold AMD to harvest a tax loss with the intention of repurchasing it after 30 days, however I am not rethinking the strategy and buy NVDA instead as it seems to have stronger prospects. In effect, which of these two companies do you think is a better investment today?
Thank you
Frank

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: All of these stocks I have positions in and would like to add only if the price is right. Can you give me a target number for each stock listed? CRWD, PLTR, SOFI, AMD, GOOG, IWO, META, AMZN, GSY, UBER, L, DOL. Take as many credits as you need. I'm 33 and these are for retirement so long term horizon.

Q: I'm down 10% on AMD, do you still think it has good potential. Saw a youtube video saying it's about to 100X haah. I have a small position and considering adding here let me know your thoughts!
