Investment Q&A

Q: Is DRIV an effective way to gain exposure to the electric vehicle sector? I’m looking for a long term hold in that category. Thanks

Q: There is a lot of talk about a shift to value stocks. What is and how do I identify a value stock and can you give some examples of current opportunities in your portfolios and generally please?

Q: With intel having a new CEO, do you think its story is changing? Would you recommend to buy at today's price for a long term holding? Thank you for your service.

Q: Hello 5i team. I wanted to get your opinion regarding these companies. With investment in Rivian by Ford, GM's EV product and new cars, they both seem like good value opportunities with upside. Can you compare the two from a valuation perspective, and give your opinion?

Also, I read that Intel has best in class driverless car tech. Their legacy business is a drag on their PE. What are your thoughts on Intel and would you be a buyer?

Q: Intc has been doing very badly of late, with Apple and Microsoft designing their own chip. I am thinking of selling Intc and replacing it with 2 or 3 technology companies, not necessarily in the chip sector. Intc is 2% of my portfolio. What would be your picks. Thanks

Q: I am thinking of buying Intel for my grandchildren's account. Do you see any potential for growth in the near future? Please provide recommendations that you see have a good entry price at this time. As well would this be a good time to buy US funds? Thank you.

Q: Hello, I have been holding Intel for more than 5 years now. According to what I read in the Q&A I believe the time has come to sell it and buy something else. Would that make sense to buy Roku to replace Intel? Another option would be either NVDA or QCOM? What would you do? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Hi gang, would you put any money on any one of this 2. ? And if you had to buy only one which one would you buy today for 2-3 years hold.and why? Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Hi, these are the companies that have not performed well since I bought them. Which of these do you think it is worth to keep in my portfolio considering that I aim to make >= 10% a year (including dividends) and it is for the long term (+20y) ? I think to replace HD by COST, INTC by NVDA or AMD, is it a good move in your opinion ? Thank you !

Q: I bought INTC at $49.00. They just announced results that were disappointing. Would you recommend I sell and move into another tech stock? Which one would you recommend. Thanks

Q: I would like to invest in one of these companies,
for a 5 years hold. Which one is has more upside momentum going forward, and why?
Thanks

Q: Kim Boulton on BNN made a strong case that Intel is undervalued and made it one of his top picks .
the other two were TWLO and Fastly.
Do you rate any of these three as a compelling buy

Q: Hi gang, would you buy intel for a 4-5 year hold? Is divided safe? Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Please provide some context with respect to Intel's recent woes in nano chip deliveries. What material consequences are likely?

Secondly how if at all is Photon Control impacted. TSM has been an immediate beneficiary. Does PHO supply INTC or TSM?

Thanks, Hugh

Q: Hi Team,
What is your outlook for Intel after today's earning?
Thanks.

Q: So if one agrees that a significant US tech exposure in a portfolio seems correct but the Big 5 US mega-techs and their valuations seem scary at the moment, given the recent correction of a stock like Intel, would you recommend that this investor with a 2 to 3 year horizon buy Intel at this level, watch it for a while and see how it settles in, start a partial position, consider other tech companies (such as what?) or continue to build positioning in the Big 5 and not focus on their valuations??? And perhaps a comment from you regarding what you would advise this concerned investor from a safety perspective regarding some of your favourite tech growers that have even higher valuations (Docusign, TTD, Team, etc.) - what is your recomendation and opinion in the context of this question comparing adding to those growthy tech names versus an Intel or a Cisco type tech purchase. I guess in essence I want to know whether you think the extra risk at this time is warranted over that term. Thank you for your anticipated helpful response - Ken

Q: Any comment on the price drop today? Is this a good buying opportunity?

Q: KXS: FPE 113x, SHOP FPE 3490x: MS MV of $133.00 & $477.00 respectively. These prices make no sense to me. Of course, I wish I had bought SHOP not that long ago for $500.00+ per share; but, now both look crazy out of touch with any semblance of fundamental analysis to me. Both would need a super large correction IMHO. I own no Cdn. Tech. - just USD ETF IGM which is almost back to high prior to CV19. Any suggestions for buys on TSX - not interested in speculative stocks. I am looking for some growth as I own mostly large cap "dividend growers" in my portfolios.

Q: I own IBM but not the others. Do you think the Red Hat acquisition will result in IBM significantly narrowing the performance gap between itself and the others. Respective dividend yields are not an issue.

Q: In a recent response to a portfolio question you said you couldn't comment on over 40 stocks in the portfolio but could comment on a few of them. Of IBM you said: "IBM we consider 'meh' and there are better ideas."

My question is this: Couldn't IBM have a place in a diversified RRIF portfolio from the perspective that it provides a reliable income stream to help meet mandatory minimum withdrawals? If you have to withdraw say a minimum of 4% a year, then IBM's 5% dividend certainly helps. If you still don't like IBM in this context, what else would you suggest for a 20 year hold?
