Q: I have a recent purchase of AVGO:CDN stocks and am up 71%. I check my CIBC account for this stock and it shows a drop off the cliff price chart which I don't understand. I can't find any explanation for this. I see the dividend is very low and thought it was much higher when I bought the stocks. Can you shed any light on this?
Thanks

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

With regard to the A.I. theme: If you had to pick 9 American stocks to watch that have been already running since 2023 because of A.I., which stocks would they be?

Nividia & Microsoft seem obvious. Maybe VST, AVGO… Gemini provided a list, but I’d like to know what you think please.

I find that the MAGS etf is a simple way to track the big tech stocks, but I’m not sure if the SMH etf would be too specific to track the A.I. stocks/theme?

Thank you for your help!

Q: With regards to 5i AI special report is there any advice for members as to where to start. There are a lot of companies in your report. Maybe if you could narrow things down to 5 or 6 companies from different areas of AI that could be a core holding.Thank-you for the report and helping me to understand theAI process.

Q: I want to have my TFSA grow bigger. Of the stocks listed, in what order would you add them to the TFSA? How long of a hold do you suggest, and what are target prices you'd be comfortable with? Is it better to wait for a pullback? Take as my question deductions as needed.

Q: I'm looking to start experimenting in 2026 with selling covered calls and cash secured puts (using a smaller % of my overall portfolio). Does 5i have any favourite tickers for this type of activity?

Thanks!

Q: I am considering adding AVGO with its most recent price decline on what appeared to be a good Q. Would you concur that the sell off has been over done given there was little to complain about in the quarterly release. MSFT is my other add consideration, as it has corrected some, likely in sympathy with the AI fears. Of the 2 which would you consider more attractive for a 5 year hold? In the account I also hold NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN, and MU for tech names. Thank you.

Q: Hello, I invested in the ETF BUG about a year ago. I had compared it to HACK and thought that BUG was more a pure play on cybersecurity than HACK, which has AVGO, NOC and GD as top 10 holdings (AVGO at #1 with 12%). After a year, BUG has barely moved whereas HACK has moved over 10%, probably because of the 3 stocks I mentioned. To what extend these 3 stocks belong in a cybersecurity ETF? If so, should I switch to HACK? Do you believe these 3 stocks will still perform very well in the years ahead? I have plenty of NVDA, so it was never my intention to buy AVGO on its own. Thanks.

Q: Hi team,
Is CLS plummeting on Avgo results? Also why the negative reaction on Avgo with the earnings beat? I am not liking this market particularly tech. Any reason to sell off growth names right now it seems to happen with very little new catalysts in sight. Is it time to diversify away from tech with the portfolio already down approx 12% from highs. Or just ride out these growth names as usual? Thx
