Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i

You have suggested NXE ($8.20) as a good way to play uranium demand. With actual production still 3+ years away, do they have enough cash to get there or will they need to issue more shares or debt? And your thoughts on the potential of a takeover, what are the odds and who would do it?

Thanks, Greg

Q: I continue to hold this and would like your thoughts. It appears very inexpensive. Is this a case of being out of favour with investors or are there red flags that I am missing? If you have the estimated cash flow per share for 2025 that would helpful.
Thanks folks!

Q: Hi,

Why is this "Radio silence" on/from SMCI? When are they going to release their revised numbers? No news on their response to class action suits either. Next earnings report is on the 29th October. Is that when the proverbial muck hits the fan? Or do you think things might improve after their 10 to 1 split takes place on October 1st?

I see that this is not their first time with this type regulator related troubles. They seem to have survived the storms before. Will they survive them again?

The price action indicates a little bit of steadying around 400$. (+/-).
Can you gaze into your crystal ball and a. give us a floor and a ceiling, say with December 2024 in mind, b. tell us when it will hit at least 700 again? (Pre split price.)

Many thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on this company? Is there something you prefer in this space?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I used to own Encore Wire.
I’m considering Belden or Eaton as a replacement. Could I have your thoughts and preference please?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What has driven SMTC to its breakout share price. What are your current thoughts. Is it a buy?

Q: What are your comments for current new money in these small caps

Q: I own both Propel and Goeasy. Goeasy I've owned for quite some time, Propel I have been adding to slowly for the last 4 months. I would like to continue to own both. Would you balance the two out by selling some Goeasy to equal out the value of the two? If not, what sort of ratio would you suggest.

Q: What is the best way to reduce the max drawdown in a long term growth investment portfolio that has increased a lot in value over the years? What are some strategies or things for investors to be cognizant of or do over time?

My investment strategy is to buy high quality compounders and hold them a long time. My top sectors by weight are tech, financials, industrials and cons. cyclical. My bottom ones are utilities, materials and communications with energy and staples in the middle.

It always seems like my portfolio takes the stairs up and the elevator down. I'm happy with the returns so far and hold high quality growth names. Are there strategies to reduce the downside while enjoying the max upside? : ) Such as raising cash or hedging (PSQ, SH) at certain times, although this is market timing which I tend to try to avoid. Your thoughts? Thank you!

Q: I have owned this stock for some time and am in the fortunate position closing in on a double bagger. In similar fortunate circumstances I would normally sell out my original investment in 2-3 tranches.

ABB is a leader in industrial robotics and is evolving its electrification business (among other services) Both of these businesses make me hesitant to sell, given the growing AI influence on the world's industries. Power and robotics would seem central to the theme.

I would appreciate your insights on the AI theme and how well ABB may fit with the idea over the next 5-10 years. Understanding of course this is a Swiss firm and not one you follow closely.

Q: My losing stocks are LSPD (-65%), MG (-45%), CELH (-53%), and NXT (-40%) in my portfolio. I am contemplating an annual cleaning to weed out the poor performers before year end and invest the proceeds elsewhere.
Please recommend if any of the above mentioned stocks are still worth keeping for recovery in the recent interest rate cut environment ? if not, please rank the order of wipe out sequence. Thank you for your excellent service. Bill.

Q: Hi, What would be your favorite stock for the US financial sector for valve and growth in the next 2-3 years? Also if this is not in the banking sector, which of the US bank would be your top pick?

Q: Gentlemen,
I am interested by :
1) Emerging Asia-Pacific ETF (US).
2) Mid Cap US
Please propose 3 ETF for each
Thanks BR

Q: I would like to invest in private equity and credit stocks. Is there an ETF that you would recommend.

Thanks for the great service

Q: THIS EQUITY IS GAINING SOME SOLID MOMENTUM. UP 25% IN JUST 2 WEEKS.
MAY I HAVE YOUR OPINION?

Q: Harvest recently launched 4 individual share etf’s which uses covered call and leverage.

The etf’s have only been out a few weeks but the leveraged versions seem to keep up with the individual stocks in terms of price appreciation.


How would you expect these etf’s to perform over the long term compared to the individual stock that it holds?

Would this be a way to get yield and price appreciation? Would you hold these etf’s instead of the underlying stock?

Q: Emerita announces recent Financing Aug-14 (tranche one drawn). Can you comment on the structure, specifically how it compares to terms in the mining/exploration sector. Is this a win/loss/fair for the company at this stage?

Q: Over the past ten years Well Health achieved very low "return on invested capital" results. Does this mean that their acquisitions were not financially successful?

Thank you,
Gabor
