Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would you kindly provide your ranking for these 3 companies for a 1 to 2 year hold from 2 perspectives, first with regard to growth with the "growthiest" first and second with regard to safety with the safest of the three listed first. Your view specifically on the Intel miss and whether you think it impairs the stock longer term or whether the miss is more of a shorter term impediment to the equity price. Thank you for your help.

Q: I am a recent subscriber to your service, and I find it to be excellent. Thank you.

I am in the process of looking for a low risk US stock. Dividends are not necessary. I was considering IBM given its leadership in analytics. What is your view? Do you recommend other US stocks, with a 2-5 year time horizon?

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Just wondering if these two stocks are still a hold or should be replaced?
Intel seems to be having problems with its 10mm process, insider trading and competition from Nvidia and AMD. As for Cisco a report last week claiming that Amazon Web Services plans to start selling network switches to other businesses and other major networking companies could impact Cisco down the road. Should we anticipate that though times are ahead for this network giant?

Thx
Marco

Q: Hi 5i,

I hold the above in the semiconductor space. Do you think there is too much overlap or do they all serve separate markets. Would it make sense to keep all of the above or should I swap one of them out for AMAT? Would that give me better diversification? If so, which one?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
My NVDA has doubled since buying ealier this year (thanks!). Do you think I should sell half to buy some INTC now that they are getting into the GPU market as well? (I also hold TXN, PHO in the chip space and many other tech names so am quite diversified). I am just wondering if INTC might have better growth rates than NVDA or if NVDA is a bit priced to perfection right now.

Thanks!

Q: I have a recollection that about a month or two ago you suggested a company engaged in artificial intelligence that would be a cheaper alternative to Nvidia. Can you remind me of the name of this company? Thanks.

Q: I bought QCOM a couple of months ago with the intention of holding this longterm for the dividend. In light of the potential takeover by Broadcom, what should I do now and/or if/when it gets taken over? If I have to find a replacement, which US tech-sector stock would you endorse for a generous, stable dividend (preferably >3% if possible) and modest growth, for a longterm hold?

Q: Hi,

My question is regarding their recent offer for convertible debentures and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on them. The cd's will bear 7% interest paid semi annually, with a conversion price of 2.20. There is also the chance THCX would force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the outstanding cd's on 30 days' notice if the average trading price of the common shares be greater than 3.15 for any 10 consecutive trading days. I do agree with your skepticism of this sector, but can't help but wonder about this one partly because of it's location and partly because we have a government that seems to be willing to move forward with setting standards that might help this industry to become more established.
On the other hand, it also occurs to me that with the recent rise in the US dollar, I should just buy MSFT, INTC or more NVDA, the latter which thank you - I bought on your recommendation some time ago.
