Q: Hi 5iresearch
I am in a loss position with the above stocks. They represent a very small size of my portfolio. Which ones would have a good chance for recovery in the next 12 months? I am trying to determine which ones I should sell to allocate to other shares with better chances. You can give %s for their recovery in the next 12 months.
Thank you

Q: Which chip company would these four things best describe:

- Huge drop in stock price this year

- Recent cost-cutting moves that will boost cash flow.

- Making good progress on the goal of making chips in the U.S.

- Highest dividend yield in years.

On the chip company AMD specifically, I understand you are high on this stock. Am I reading it correctly that the present PE is around 44? Is this valuation not concerning going forward into this uncertain economic environment (rising interest rates, sudden chip over-supply, etc.) ?

Q: Do you have any feel for commodities, specifically Oil and Copper, over the next six months to a year?
I would like to hide in some dividend-paying stocks.
Capital retention and some dividend gain is the goal right now.
With that in mind, I feel like this might be a good opportunity to buy Canadian banks, for the long haul and oil and commodities shorter term.
I would appreciate your opinion on my theory and these securities.
As well, any ideas you have would be great.

Q: I know that this is an unfair question - sorry. I realize that ARKK and AMD are two different investments, but if 5i had a chunk of money to invest in one of these two, which would it be? On a similar note, is Intel a better investment than AMD?

Q: Can you provide a 'buy' list for a person wanting to deploy $200,000 (inside RRSP) with the goal of creating 5% or more sustained cash flow - as well as growing the original capital to keep up with inflatiion? We do not have company pensions - this would serve to supplement our government pensions.
Thinking, 20 stocks across all sectors @ $10,000 each (or 5%)
Also could you include 10 growth stocks (inside TFSA) for a total of $250,000 - gotta have some fun ;)
Many Thanks
Jan

Q: hello 5i:
regarding the 49% investment by BIP in INTC'S chip plant.
BIP is our largest holding, so we are concerned as to the significance of this deal and the effect on BIPs future. How significant is it?
And, with INTCs well-known failures of overpromising and underdelivering, poor allocation of capital and just bad management decisions, will an alliance with INTC not drag BIP down with it? Could not the company find a "more reliable" partner (ie AMD)?
How does BIP benefit in all of this?
I suppose that another way of asking this, is "should we lighten up". Tough, as we've held since 2015 and been very happy owners.
thanks

Q: Greetings 5i,

What are your thoughts on INTEL? What are your thougths on the domestic tailwinds via Biden Administration and roughly 75B in federal support for domestic chip manufacturers? Seems almost like the industry is being considered a matter of national sercurity in the US and will back the chip makers. Are there other companies who stand to do well in this environment?

Cheers!

Q: Good day team,

I know that you always suggest trading/buying into positive momentum but if you were to choose some stocks (regardless of sectors), on both the CDN and US sides, what would they be? As we are all aware, there is a lot of red out there in certain sectors.
