Q: SMCI was up 14.4% today, February 5th. I find it hard to believe the people buying the stock today were buying because the company is going to have good earnings in the future. Instead I see momentum players doing panic buying. FOMO on a big scale. I don’t think this is going to end well once sanity returns to the momentum players who basically have no emotional stake in the company. I’m thinking we saw a top today. A little weakness tomorrow and it will be panic to get out first. Do you agree? I’ve owned the stock for some time and while I’m pleased at “winning the lottery” the stock’s action is beginning to concern me.

Q: I am trying to purchase 5 american companies to hold in an AI-focussed portfolio, probably for 5 years or so through this next bull market. I already own the megacaps and so I am specifying less than $200 billion market cap for each of these. Can you give me your top AI-related plays with these criteria? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Kicking myself in the butt for not buying SMCI a few months back after humming and hawing about it. I guess because I have a large NVDA and GOOG position already so didn’t want too much AI exposure.

For some of these names that have run hard over the last 3-6 months, would you add or initiate new positions? I own NVDA, HPS.A and TVK and have nice gains but want to slightly add for long term. I’m reluctant now to buy these new daily highs in SMCI and VRT, afraid of a sharp pullback. How would you proceed? For all the stocks mentioned, what inning do you think we’re in for each? Still long runways? And I know it’s hard, but what would be good price targets to buy if they pulled back? Thanks!

Q: If you had to put together a portfolio to hold for at least one year for max gain what would they be? No concern for risk or the size of the company. Must be traded on a USA exchange although not necessarily a USA company. I’m guessing you will include smci, vrt, google and amazon. Part two of the question is whether I should sell some smci to lock in a gain? I’ve never in my life enjoyed such a large gain so quick. Thanks.

Q: Just a comment - thanks! Most of my questions have usually been about when something for me has gone wrong…well this one seems to be working. Honestly, if it weren’t for your positive comments, not only may I never have bought it but I would’ve sold as soon as I had a small profit. The same is true for nvda - another awesome name that you’ve stuck with for years even when things looked downright gloomy! Thanks be to 5i.

Q: JPM has had a decent run but I'm thinking of swapping it for Mastercard. Can I get your thoughts please?

Palo Alto has also been terrific, but I'm trying to add more AI into my portfolio. I'd like to sell it and find a new name, CDN or US. I own MSFT, AAPL, Salesforce, GOOG, Meta, NVDA, Constellation, Shopify and Kinaxis. I was thinking of Taiwan Semi, AMD or Broadcom, but can I get your thoughts please?

Q: Hello 5i,
I own the following in a non registered account: SHOP TTD GSY HPS NVDA WELL KXS. I'm thinking of adding SCMI VRT AMD.
Could rank these ten stocks for growth over the next two-three years for an above average risk tolerance.
Thanks
Dave

Q: Dear 5i
Are smci and vrt different enough to own both in a TFSA ?
Also i was thinking of buying NVDA for one TFSA and AMD for the other TFSA as a way of not betting just on one or the other . Would you agree with this line of thinking or not ?
Thanks

Q: In answer to a question regarding the noted company you suggest the PE is still just 22 times even after the almost 35% increase on Friday. In the same answer you suggest 2023 earnings could be as high is $5.50 and 2024 earnings are projected to increase by 70%. Can you explain further please how you get a PE of 22? Thank you so much since I feel like I missed this one but if PE is that low perhaps not. John
