Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, according to my math Goog is trading at 19.6 FY24 and 17.2 FY25 pe's. At what point do you consider this too irresistible? I put on a half position a few months back and looking to bring it upto a full position. I know you guys ❤️ momentum, but there seems to be a new floor daily. Thx.

Q: Looking to sell some Amazon and add Google.

Do you think Google can rebound in the short to medium term? Is there any indication that suggest an improvement in AI offerings? Do you think it's a buy given current valuations or do you think the stock has further to drop?

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: My wife and I have accumulated a fair amount of cash in our RRSP we would now like to invest. We have at least 5 years time horizon. We are well represented in Oil, Banks, Tech., financial. We have some reits as well. Not much retail or healthcare. We like growth and dividends and not too concerned about higher weightings in the right industries (we are considering more banks and tech, as well as minerals for batteries). We have about 40K which is about 10% of our portfolio. What would you consider good value right now? It seems many tech stocks are priced very high right now so would you avoid tech at the moment? Can you suggest 5 value stocks? Thanks.

Q: I have these companies on my cash account , they all are doing good, but now I'm looking to sell 3 of them, so I can buy some BRK.B.
Which 3 would you let go. thank you.

Q: Good morning
3 questions plse take 3 credits

1. I purchased AW.UN at around 44$ a couple of years ago and since then it has now slid to 30$ what will it take for it to regain some value back up to around 44$?

2. BIP.UN looked like it was recovering but now has slipped back into the high 30$ any particular reason for the fall back?

3. Currently own GOOG which cant seem to get any traction but wondering for a long term hold would AMZN be a better buy for long term growth? Which would you buy if only one can be held?

Thks

Q: Hello, I recently sold my rental property in 2022, and I now have funds sitting in the bank, earning interest. My ultimate goal is to invest this money wisely and create a portfolio that can serve as an inheritance for my loved ones. I am currently in the process of assembling a collection of high-quality stocks.

For me, the presence or absence of dividends is not a decisive factor when selecting stocks. Could you kindly recommend two top-performing stocks in each sector of the global market? These core holdings will play a crucial role in achieving my long-term financial objectives.

As of now, I have already purchased shares in NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Alphabet (GOOGL), Canada: Goeasy (GSY), Nuvei (NVEI), Definity Finacial (DFY), Boyd Group(BYD), Thomson Reuters (TRI), Aritzia (ATZ), and Nutrien (NTR).

Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.

Q: Good Morning
These stocks are in my wife's US Riff account
What US stock or stocks would you recommend as an addition to this list?
She is overweight in both finance and tech in her Canadian Riff so looking for alternative suggestions with some growth and a modest dividend?
Thks

Q: I own 3 of the big 7, Apple, Amazon and Nvda and manage the positions for weighting. I would like to own Microsoft and/or Google. Please suggest if you think it's necessary to expand to one or both of these, and if better to have a half position in both, or full position in one or both considering the other holdings. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

There's been a lot of buzz lately about OpenAI/ChatGPT developing a new search engine that will compete with Googles. Also this will be partly functional inside Bing. Given the Google relies on highly Ad revenue, expecting users to scroll through searches, while this new engine would potentially by-pass this Ad revenue clicking, do you see this a game changing to Google?

Thx

Q: HI 5I,
A couple of questions, if I might. Please deduct accordingly.
First, regarding CDRs in general - in looking at the listed companies I note that the price of the CDR compared to the US share price for each company varies considerably. E.g.: For NVDA the CDR price is approximately 9.5% of the US price, for AAPL the CDR is approx. 14.9% of the US price, GOOG CDR is approx 17% of the US version, MSFT CDR comes in at about 7.40% of the US price, and the COST CDR is only about 4.7% of the US price.
Is this variance something that a purchaser of CDRs needs to bear in mind in any way or for any reason, or is it meaningless with regard to returns, and how does the significant variation between companies come about in the first place?
And secondly, could you rank the listed companies for total return over a one year period, accompanied by whatever commentary you choose to offer as to why you've ranked them as you have?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: My suggested allocation for Tech is 16% but due to the amazing run up lately of the likes of Nvidia, Amazon Google and Apple, I’m now over 35%. I know how important diversification is but the momentum is almost overwhelming.
Thoughts???
