Investment Q&A

Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service

Q: Between SHOP and AMZN, which would you add to first at today's levels? This is for a 5+ year hold.

Q: Really enjoyed Chris White's inaugural appearance on BNN Market Call. Chris mentioned something along the lines that high beta stocks tend to have higher compounding (better returns even with above-market PE ratios). If this is indeed true (generally speaking), can you explain why this would be the case (the logic or math underlying this thesis)? Or, if I misunderstood what was said, please correct me/explain.

Q: Last week Amazon reports cloud unit’s annualized AI revenue exceeds $15 billion and gets rewarded by market while SHOP gets beaten up. Coincidence? Is SHOP competitive in the cloud, or is the moat weak here?

Q: If Globalstar is taken over by Amazon, how might that affect the contracts MDA has with Globalstar? Is this a net positive or a negative for MDA. Thanks.

Q: Which of the following would be good to build on for long term investments for a 30 year old? This is for a TFSA. Looking for medium to high risk.

Q: Just a followup of my previous question, you have no problem to Add for these names at current level. Just wondering for how long you think to hold them? What are the signs that I need to sell?

Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi, 5i team
I have been holding these US stocks for several years. Do you think they are good for long term holding?
Are these company worth adding positions in recent pullback? If so, what entry points you recommend for them?
Any one you think is a "sell" just in case?

Thanks

Q: I hold positions in these companies. I think it is a little unfair to ask what would be good entry points for these companies in this market but could you indicate in what order would you be buying these stocks today? Is there any you would not buy?

Thank you
Tim

Q: Our core long-term holdings - not full positions. Please advise those that could add to full positions, hold or sell or those that you would replace with better potential. Please rank.

Q: hi
assuming further downside in the markets, and potential longer term effects on global economy from most recent unprovoked Israel/USA attacks on Iran/Middle East, can I get your response for these 8 equities. please provide a buy/sell/hold recommendation, and a price to BUY for each. if your price to BUY is today's price, can you add another BUY price target that is lower than todays price, that considers the chart and fundamentals.
cheers, Chris

Q: I hold balanced positions in Google, Microsoft, META, Apple, Netflix, NVDA and Amazon. They have all pulled back.

What order would you be adding to these positions?

Are there any that you would not be adding too in the current volatile market?

Thanks
Tim

Q: What is your opinion about buying leaps?
As far as I understand the best time to buy them is when a stock is at a low and volatility is low and you expect significant upside over the next few years.
Should you always try and buy the longest period out? For example buying a 2 year duration call instead of a 1 year.

I was thinking that microsoft would be a good candidate. Any other stocks that you would recommend?

Q: Being mostly a "dividend long term" investor ,I did not invest in tech stocks up to now, except for some specific etfs . Considering this kind of "switch" from tech to energy stocks in the markets,and new valuations of major US tech stock ,I just started to invest in this sector.What is your view versus the opportunities and timing for investing in major tech stocks actually ?

Q: hi group thinking of selling BYD.CA presently trading at break even /held it for many years but been dead money time to sell? (ITs in my TSFA also own FTS ATZ,TOU BAM ENB FFH in what order should i add if decide to sell BYD:CA or hold the cash for now as there may be better opportunity in the near future sure looks like a market correction to me

Also same with NRGI the only money made here is on the dividend (owned since inception) what should i replace it with ? again maybe just keep the cash until things recover a bit? its in a cash account

Not happy with my tech holdings either own GOOG AMAZ NVDA MSFT CLS SHOP (12 % of my portfolio ) is that too much or not enough exposure for this marketthanks for your help with this

Q: Could you give me an update on your view on Starbucks since your last comments 8 months ago. I m holding it in an RRSP account and I am reviewing for maybe a better large cap consumer discretionary stock is you can suggest 2-3 .

Q: Can you please provide commentary on why Amazon is issuing bond specifically for its AI investments considering its liquidity position and size and quality of its balance sheet?

Q: Can you help me understand why one would hold a company like Amazon with a 10% return in the last 12 months and 40% increase in the last 5 years compared to an ETF like VOO with a 20% return in the last 12 months and 73% increase in the last 5 years?

Where I struggle is, why take on the added risk of holding an individual stock compared to a diversified ETF? Clearly it’s shown to out perform the individual stock.

I understand holding both are likely ideal, but can you provide a reason to not sell Amazon and add to VOO? Thank you

Q: Hi 5i - Im looking to take advantage of the sell off in tech stocks. I already own 5% GOOG, 4% NVDA, AMZN and 3% SHOP, CSU and 1.5% KXS, LMN.

Which tech stocks would you recommend to add to the current stocks?

Thanks, Neil

Q: I own NBIS shares and continue to hold with the thought that the market is not either recognizing or giving credit to the company for the expected surge in revenue and hopefully earnings growth in the coming 12-15 months. Do you continue to support this premise?
Also what are your thoughts on this company as a takeover possibility? Who might be interested and why?
