Investment Q&A

Q: All of these stocks I have positions in and would like to add only if the price is right. Can you give me a target number for each stock listed? CRWD, PLTR, SOFI, AMD, GOOG, IWO, META, AMZN, GSY, UBER, L, DOL. Take as many credits as you need. I'm 33 and these are for retirement so long term horizon.

Q: Hi Team,
Over the past several years, as a general rule, one of the best buying opportunities seems to be buying quality, best in breed companies while they are down. Stocks such as NVDA, META, SHOP, BN, CRWD come to mind here where in the past we have seen significant sell offs but the quality names always seem to recover. My question is, are we witnessing this type of opportunity right now with UNH? In reality the name has been a steady eddy, reliable grower in the sector for years. Now...it loses over half it's market cap in a month? In my un-professional opinion this seems much too extreme to me for a company of this magnitude, with a long track record of success, and seemingly huge moat in the US. Is it time to start picking away at buying this name, collecting the now near 3% dividend, and sitting on it for the longer term? Collecting the div and having the name recover in say 3 years would calculate to a quite lucrative return. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi, could you comment on ANET's earnings, which I understood were about 10% ahead of estimates per share, and 2% or so more revenue. The stock appears to have taken a hit today on the report, so were there negative comments from the management on forward guidance? Something else I missed in the numbers?
Thanks!

Q: Can you discuss META as a company, and why you’re so bullish moving forward? Thanks

Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests a need to increase my allocation in utilities, real estate, communication services and consumer defensives. Could you give me your best 3 picks for each category, preferably on the TSX. If you feel the Canadian doesn't have very good choices, suggestions on the US market would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: My mag7 holdings have only really consisted of GOOG and NVDA, is this good enough? Seeing MSFT and META with strong earnings, should I diversity more into the other holdings? If you were to rank the mag7, what would they look like? Was considering a stake in AMZN and I know they report tonight. Thank you!

Q: We are down about 15% from the peak of the S&P 500. I have about 5% of my portfolio in USD cash to deploy. Would you advise going a fifth of my cash for every 3% further fall in the S&P 500? I have enough Google and Meta, but was looking at JPM and Apple. Any other US names you can suggest?

Q: I am thinking of investing in orcle or meta. Which one do you think would be the best choice?

Q: I hold META and would like your opinion should I buy more or hold.

If the company looses and has to be split up do you think it is worth more or less than current price.

Thanks for the great advice

Q: On these 7 themes please pick your favourite one or two stocks for each theme based on your view of the best potential performance over a 3 year hold with "appropriate" thought given to concern for downside potential based on corporate debt, management, current valuation or any other concerns that would prevent you from choosing a given equity. For most themes suggested equities are provided however please feel free to ignore those if not your favourite one or two. 1. AI COMPUTE (META ASML) 2. AI SOFTWARE (AVGO IBM) 3. POWER AND UTILITIES (NEXTERRA DUKE AEP) 4. BUILDING PRODUCTS (INHD AEHL WSO CRH) 5. LIFE SCIENCES 6. HEALTHCARE SERVICES (MERCK TMO AMGN SYK) 7. ELECTRIFICATION AND INDUSTRIAL (GEV EOSE GWH MVST). BIG ASK I know but likely of broad member interest and I seldom ask questions. Thank you.

Q: What buy the dip stocks would you grab? I was thinking shopify because it was done so much. Thanks as always for your sober advice in these stressful times.

Q: Hello,

Given the recent correction in the technology sector, would you consider META as an attractive buy to start accumulating.

Looking forward to your input.

Q: I noticed that some of the big American stocks that were trading as CDRs I believe on the NEO Exchange,stopped trading there on Feb 14 and now it looks like their trading in Toronto and only have a history back to Feb14
The companies are NVDA,MSFT,TSLA,GOOG META and COST,there’s probably more,do you know why this happened and is their any significance to it Thanks

Q: I am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks

Q: Any stocks dropping that you feel represent a good buying opportunity? Perhaps something being sold that is an ‘overreaction’ or will look like a good buy in a year or so from now? Thanks

Q: Everyone, how do you deal with a socially unacceptable stock that outperforms the averages. I personally do not like what FB does for our society and have never owned the stock for that reason. Is the market about making money or shunning stocks that you personnlly dislike for various reasons. Clayton

Q: In process of rebalancing growth leaning portfolios, so for the Communications sector, what would be your top five or six "must own" holdings, any market in this sector. Currently I have a notional 6% allocation to sector and small positions in GOOG, SIXG (FIVG), NBIS, and Telus. At a 3.6% position I have room to grow and looking for ideas.

Q: Thoughts on Anet ? Thank You

Q: Hello 5i
I'm hearing noise about a rotation away from the Mag7 type companies. Could I have your perspective please?
Also what are the expected EPS growth for each of the MAG7 for 2025?
Thank you so much!
