Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team,
What do you think of the short attack on roblox today? Stock seems to be recovering from initial loses earlier today. I had been holding Roblox with hopes the name would recover with its advertising potential and growth prospects in future omniverse development and being a leader in VR games. Should I continue to hold this smaller position or is it time to run away. On a side note I always thought they would make a good aquisition target for meta for the headset usage and advertising expertise within the rblx platform. However regulators don’t seem to let Meta aquire any company these days . Thoughts ?

Q: Hello, in an answer to a question back on March 8th of this year you indicated some attractive entry prices for the Canadian CDR's of the Magnificent 7. What would be your current attractive entry prices given the changes over the past few months and the recent reporting season?

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: I'm hoping everyone at 5i is enjoying their summer. Just recently I trimmed NVDA, META, GOOGL, MSFT.Would you please suggest 3 or 4 ideas for small cap tech and also US growth potential industrials. Thanks for all you do!

Q: As far as Ai is concerned, to what extent will the performance of the following stocks be dependent on the fortunes of NVDA? Please rate each of them with a number from 1-10, with 10 representing the highest correlation to NVDA.

Q: Hi 5i,

Provided the long term business models for these stocks remains intact, and seeing a sale happening now, what would be attractive sales prices for each going into earnings?

Thx

Q: Good evening,

I am relatively new to options and would like to buy either a straddle or a strangle (using options with around 500 days til expiration). Would it be possible to get a list of maybe 5-10 companies for which the implied volatility is significantly lower than the historic volatility? Also what other factors would you look for in a company that you are doing a straddle/strangle on?

Thank you very much,

Aidan

Q: Hello, of these 4 , which ones would you buy today for a 5 year time frame, and why?
Thank you

Q: Hello, Currently I hold NVDA, Meta, Google, and Palantir stocks in the tech sector. Could you recommend additional stocks that would complement my portfolio during this AI boom? Thank you.

Q: My portfolio is 35 per cent technology. I own 600 shares of Nvidia which comprise close to 10 per cent of my holdings. I also own Goog Amazon Microsoft and Apple but no Meta. Does it make sense to sell 200 shares of Nvidia to buy into Meta at this time or do I not interfere with the Nvidia momentum.

Q: I need to increas,e my exposure to communication services by 6%. I already own GOOG. What are you suggestions and how strongly do you feel about them?

Also same question for Consumer Defensive holdings.

Take as many question credits as needed.

Q: In a recent question from Michael, regarding the Communication Services sector, 5i responded by stating “we think investors are better off without having too much capital invested in these fields”. I agree that owning BCE and T lately, especially for long-term holders, has been very frustrating to say the least.

For our combined portfolio, Portfolio Analytics indicates that our holdings in this sector have dropped to 5.9% (understandably) but PA still suggests a weight of 7% in this sector.

Two questions: (1) In light of sector weakness, which will probably continue for some time, what would be your suggested Communication Services sector weight? (2) Would you endorse some tax-loss selling of BCE and/or T but put the proceeds into another more promising sector?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

• Consumer Staples
• Healthcare
• Industrials
• Communications
• Energy
• Real Estate
• Utilities
• Materials

Q: Hi guys,

I have the above in my portfolio at 2.5%, please rank them as to moving them into a FULL position (4%).
thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Given Nvdas recent euphoria, is it time to take profits here or do you see this rise warranted and likely to hold its gains? Looking at market cap it looks set to pass apple and possibly take top spot over Microsoft soon if the stock keeps up this pace of rising. How are valuations looking here compared to the other magnificent 7 and how much possible upside can we possibly gain from here given current valuations ?

Q: I read about this company recently and bought a 1/2 position.
In reviewing a 1 year and a 3 year and 6 month chart fix out performed apple, MSFT,meta,AMZN . Which for an industrial company I found interesting.
My question , did something unique occur in the past 3 years for this outperformance and if not does the future look as bright

Q: I have a question about name changes. In your experience if/when a Company changes its name does this help or hurt. My question is specifically about Veran (Crescent Point Energy). Now I have held this Company stock and options for a long time and made lots of money on it. Also lost some along the way. They have been slowly changing their operations to be very positive ie: no more Saxberg and serial aquisitions. Now they have decided to change the name and the stock has not responded very well. I grew up on a farm and found you may dress up a pig but it is still an oinker after the dress-up. Thanks Gordo
