Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, can I have your opinion of their latest results? It appears market didn't like forward guidance on the cloud segment. Also would you buy this stock today?

Thx

Q: I am interested in investing in companies that are leaders in developing AI. So far I have identified GOOG, MSFT, NVDA, and AMD. Do you agree with this list and are you able to add to it? I have seen AMZN, AAPL, IBM and META with regard to AI, but are they simply users of AI rather than developers?
Thank you.

Q: What is your opinion on this company? Are they in the midst of a turnaround? I read somewhere that the CEO has stock options that won't vest until the stock reaches 36 per share. Does this sound like motivation to get the house in order?

Thanks

Q: I currently hold MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, and GOOG. All are at a 5% weight, except for AMZN, which is at 3%. I have an additional 2% to invest. Would you suggest topping up AMZN to 5%...or purchasing another tech stock with the additional funds? If the latter, would you please provide three stocks ranked by both risk and potential profit...and explain why you have selected each? Thank you.

Q: For this 10-stock all-equity TFSA portfolio (for 30-yr-old Albertan), which has 40% cash available to invest:

Q: If i had to pick just one of these companies to hold for 3 years, which one would you predict that would have the best upside.

Q: Hi 5i, May I pls have your thoughts on latest results and if you would continue to hold or upgrade.

I have few other dogs, maybe LGO also, that I'm looking to consolidate into either GOOG, META, DIS, PYPL or AMZN. Which 2 or 3 would be your preferred choices? PYPL worries me a bit, seems other fintec companies might be eating their lunch. DIS is interesting given old CEO is back and cost cutting the company. Pls give your pros/cons when ranking. Thx for your great advice!

Q: Can I get your 3 or 4 picks for Ai stocks or ETF,s

Q: I have been watching UNH since the Bush years when it was going through rapid mergers and Buffett was buying it up. It wasn’t going up during the Obama presidency at least early on as investors were looking at the impact of public insurance.
Could you please comment on its significant success since and the business model of American health insurers now and in the future?

Q: Could you please rank the above in terms of 1. Upside potential, next 2 years, assuming a significant recovery. 2, Risk

Q: Hi 5I Team,

Q: I own SHOP, AMZN and BABA and might be a bit overweight in the online shopping space. I am thinking it might be wise to dump one of the three. SHOP is the smallest weighting of the three thanks to it's spectacular decline from where I purchased. All are in regestered accounts so no tax considerations. How would you rank these three against each other today and if you were going to drop one which one would it be?

Q: please provide the forward P/E for MSFT AMZN INTU and MCO and also provide the respective PEG ratios for these companies and rank from best to last for capital appreciation over the next 3 years thanks Richard

Q: I have asked questions about core portfolio and compounders. I would like to refine my query to building a concentrated core portfolio [say, 20 CAD-USD total]. I start with the allocations greater than 5% in the 3 portfolios. BN is less than 5% on its own, yet, I wonder whether it would not be the core Canadian financial stock. As for US, there are many Fav lists, but could you boil it down to 10. For each stock, please provide key rationale for choosing it and a target buy price.
Much appreciated,

Q: Hi Peter,

You had this qn on Jan. 23, 2023:

My sister wants to invest in 10 Canadian stocks that are relatively safe in terms of capital preservation but which offer possible dividend and growth . Hopefully the stocks would be in different sectors that you would recommend.

Now, for a 5 yr + time period, what 11 US quality stock from each sector would you recommend ?

Please deduct as many credits as necessary.

Thanks a million.

Q: Hello Peter & Team:

I would like to added some growth stocks into my current defensive ones. Which of the above stocks represents a good growth prospect within the next 3-5 years, from most prefer, to least prefer.
Secondly, From an AI perspective, are there additional names which is also a good candidate in addition to the above mentioned?
Thank you as always

Q: What are your thoughts on comments around SHOP never becoming profitable enough to justify its crazy valuation. They added 1B in opex while only adding 270M in gross profit. They keep spending more and more money on R&D, new comp plans, to compete with Amazon. But mgmt has never given shareholders a plan on when and how they are going to reap the rewards of this hyper growth mode. Like many of these big tech stocks they are following the model of growth at all costs, then eventually we are so big and have so many customers that we increase prices, and cutdown on our costs, then the profits flow in. SHOP has never mentioned a plan for this and Toby isn't exactly the guy thats going to cut pay and let people go for the sake of profits. Starting to wonder if SHOP will ever be a massively profitable company like it was meant to?

Q: If nuclear fusion became a reality, what companies/suppliers would benefit? Based on the research activity, I assume this innovation would come out of the U.S.
