Investment Q&A

Q: Looking for "early winners" in "picks and shovels" for AI. Please rank among listed [FN COHR CRDO ANET SMCI] or others at current prices with what you like most about potential

Q: Please list some of your favorite U.S. growth stocks. Perhaps 5 small-cap and 5 mid-caps. Thanks.

Q: Have some cash in US $ registered account dedicated to Tech. In TOTAL Portfolio (CDN & US), we currently own NVDA (8.4%) CSU (7.3%) SHOP (4.7%) GOOG (4.5%), QCOM (4%) MSFT (3.7%), CRWD (2.5%) META (2%) TOI (1.6%)
Have some US $ available, considering : PERI, PSTG, ADOBE, AMZN, SMCI, AI, AMD. Of these, which 2 or 3 would you add to the Tech portfolio (if any) and what would you see as a reasonable purchase price.
Also, given the current/foreseeable environment, at what point would you consider trimming NVDA & CSU ? Please use as many question credits as needed. Many thanks.

Q: I would like to invest in some AI stocks. Could you give me a list of a few AI stocks that you would recommend at this time.
Thanks for your usual help. Shirley

Q: Apart from Big Tech, are there any names (in and out of the tech sector) that 'should' be able to capitalize on the rise of AI in the near to medium term?

Q: Is PLTR a stock to buy and if it is a buy what do you think it will go to? or is there something better out there.

Q: again thanks for smci.
where do you stand now on smci,do you think it has more room to run. dave

Q: What are your 10 top momentum plays?

Q: Is it too late to get into NVDA? Is it a FOMO trade now? Where would you put new money for growth (3-5 years) NVDA, SMCI, AMD or some other name? Please reply with a short reason and take as many credits as needed. Thanks in advance.

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: whats your call on smci. i have added to my position and moved my options strike up 6 different times. i think its going much higher.
i value your opinion dave

Q: Hi team,

This is more of a second order question - so nvda is clearly doing very well, where could we look for benefit on the supplier side, ie. the inputs for what they need for the AI?

Q: Re your answer to Adam on APPS.

Throw the towel in and buy what instead?

Thanks

Q: I am interested in Ai which stock or ETF should I start with?

Q: i own some of smci based on a recommend in an answer to a question to 5i a while back. thank you.
my question after their fantastic earnings report , is smci still a buy or getting too expensive. dave

Q: Hello
I’ve held Guardant Health in a loss position for too long in a TFSA account. Would you please suggest several possible replacements in the small to mid cap space.
Thank you

Q: Hi,

I am intrigued by your answer to Derek's question May 3 about TTNM and others.

You said with "...with small caps a basket of three or four companies often is a better approach."

I own IWO (have for years) and note its performance against a US dividend grower like VIG, for almost any period for the last 5 years, has not been as good. That comparison combined with your notion of 3 or 4 small caps, would you be able to suggest your best small cap picks that I could use to replace IWO (recognizing the change in risk/profile of individual stocks vs. a hugely diversified ETF).

Thanks very much. Michael

Q: Hi there, what do you make of the webbush report downgrading Smci and warning of -37% downside? Thanks.

Jason

Q: i know you like this company. its like a rocket ship. i own options in it and keep moving them up to the next strike. what are investors seeing in smci.
dave

Q: Hi there, you mentioned this name in an answer to a question Monday as one to consider buying on the dip caused by the svb blow up. I had my eye on it because it seems to have strong earnings growth. I hesitated because it is up about 100% already this year and there was a short report on it. Can you comment further on why you like this name? I am afraid to buy something that is already up so much as I worry that it could fall a lot in a profit taking environment. The short report has also scared me off. Thanks as always for the comments.
