Investment Q&A

Q: Good evening,

I am wondering if you have any possible suggestions regarding companies that focus predominately in the application layer or operate full-stack models of AI.

The reason why I am asking this is because of an article entitled: "AI's revolution is just beginning" in Sunday's Globe and Mail. Sadly, there are a few parts that I don't fully comprehend which unfortunately prevents me from investigating more fully. A starting point would be great!

Take a peek to the article as it draws parallels to the dot com/internet crash of the 2000s.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I may begin to investigate.

Conversely, state any points you think should be taken with a grain of salt!

Thanks!
Arturo

Q: Are there any US stocks that are getting hit right now that would be good buys for long term growth holds?

Q: Hi team,
The rumors about Intel being broken up and sold to Broadcom and TSMC (may be) seems to be on again! Will it stick this time? Internet rumors are flying high! I saw one figure of upto 47$! (Reddit) Though mostly around 30$.
Some say this is not going to fly. No foreign ownership of US chips!! Trump is the President BTW:)

If I were to write covered call, how high would you suggest that I go?

Any thoughts or opinions?

Q: Please rank these stock for risk relative to the US Tariffs from High to Low....thanks....Tom

Q: My research points to many experts believing that the semiconductor chips will be shifting from NVIDIAs current offerings to cheaper custom silicon, setting up many of the names like AVGO, MRVL, QCOM,AMD and ARM well. Out of these names, which ones would you own, based on price and growth potential.

Are any of these resonably priced at this time and can be bought immediately or shoud I wait for a pullback.

Lastly, seems like NVIDIA has sold part of its ARM ownership today. Is ARM still a name you like and at what price level does it become a resonable buy. Thanks!!

Q: Would you be comfortable with owning a full position in both Nvidia and Broadcom?

How much overlap is there between their separate businesses?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Looking into your crystal ball for 2025, is this the year for AMD to finally show some stock price appreciation? I have held it for several years now, and am still underwater by over 12%.

I’m losing some patience, considering the relative growth in NVIDIA (which I’ve done exceptionally well with and still hold, thanks to 5i). I notice that in recent questions, some 5i members also hold AMD, and I’m wondering if you guys are not losing patience, as well?

Do you have three other tech or AI-related picks (any cap size) that you have a much stronger conviction in than AMD, for a three-year hold? Or, is there a potential catalyst on the horizon that might indicate staying the course with AMD?

Thanks very much,

Brad

Q: I am looking at rebalancing my portfolio. I am currently overweight Tech and financials and underweight health care, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication.

Can you please provide suggestions on which of the tech stocks you would recommend trimming (maybe Apple? priced as a growth stock but not growing much?) and which of the listed health stocks (or other) would you recommend starting a position in?

Thank you!

Peter

Q: Other than the joint venture partners, what companies do think will benefit the most from the AI infrastructure plan introduced by Pres. Trump on Tuesday? I suspect VRT and CLS will benefit, but I am sure there are others in AI support businesses.

Q: I need to consolidate my tech holdings:I own NVDA, AVGO, VRT, CRWD, MSTR, AMZN, META and IYW (about 3% for each holding). Which stocks should I sell and why- for a long term hold?

Q: I need to consolidate some of the riskier stocks in my portfolio. Of the following on my chopping block, could you rate which would be keepers for the long term (with a hands-on approach) - best to worst - KSI, GLXY, AVGO, AXON, IESC, ROAD, COIN, APP, CRWD? Also, I hold both GSY and PRL. Is it reasonable to let one go in a consolidation? If so, which one - thanks!

Q: I am looking for your top five CA and US stock ideas which capitalize on the AI boon, regardless of market cap. As well, what are your top three US cyber security ideas? Reasons for your picks would be appreciated. THX.

Q: Please estimate 1-2 year performance rank for these five stocks currently on my watch list. Thanks!

Q: Hi there
Could you please rank the noted stocks in order of "buy now" preference? (CN, AVGO, CRM, KSI, APP, BEP.UN, DOL, TTD).
Thanks so much! Appreciated.

Q: Everyone, what is your biggest regret about investing? Clayton

Q: I am over weight in NVDA. Would you concur with selling 25% of my position and buying AVGO? This would be a 3% AVGO position and a 7% NVDA position.

Q: Can you comment on MU earnings? Does the outlook change your views going forward? Anything better to switch into? Thanks.

Q: Would welcome your analysis on Avgo v MRVL. Who has the higher growth rate, valuations are both high. Assume risks are fairly high as well , would you buy either at these prices?

Q: Hello 5i
Could you rank the above stocks for a 3-5 year TFSA hold with a medium to high risk tolerance in mind.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello Peter,

In the US, where would you go for the Santa rally? Would it be momentum stocks? Undervalued? Specific sectors -Industrials, AI related? or Crypto?
I am thinking crypto - the backers of the new govt. Add dollar tariffs to the mix. Crypto heads higher.
How would you play the Canadian market end of the year? I am going to dabble in short term trading this year.

Regards
