Investment Q&A

Q: Could you tell me which 5 of these TFSA companies you would add money to first in a correction. Could you also give me two, not in this list that you consider better or just as good than these names, for a tfsa.
Thanks for all you do. Gilles

Q: Good AM. Would you please rank your preference (most to least) for long-term (5-10 yrs) capital appreciation of the 3 stocks indicated?

Q: I recently sold Nvidia in my tfsa. I sold a call option on it and it was pretty close to the strike price, I let it get called away, since I am overweight Nvidia. Now that it is down I am tempted to buy it again. I can’t let myself forget the overweight aspect, though. Do you have another suggestion that I could replace it with? I want something nearly as good that I can sell options on, thus no or a small dividend. Sector doesn’t matter. I am also full weight on Shopify and Google. I am also open to smaller stocks that could show growth and are relatively safe—celestica and Nebius?
Thanks

Q: The latest Q results were excellent and the share price in after hours went into the $130's, yet it has drifted down to the $113 range or almost 15% since late June. How would you rate this stock, do you think it deserves more patience? Thank you. John

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles

Q: Hello,

Thoughts on starting a position here? For a long term hold, or should one wait? At what price would this be a screaming buy?

Thanks

Q: I am underwater significantly (-20 %to 30%) on the above 5 companies. I have a well balanced portfolio so am looking to either sell the above and replace them or add to them. Can you please give me your thoughts on which ones you would ditch and which ones (if any) you would add to. If you have any suggestions as replacements for any that you consider should be sold I would appreciate it. Thanks for your ongoing great insights. Peter

Q: Hi,

As is my custom, I reviewed Q&A using symbol search and read your answers going back to Oct 2024. You have consistently given your "nod" to MU.

Of course it has been slipping even though it is not really in the same AI realm as NVDA. In one of the answers you even preferred MU to AMD! (That surprised me I must say).

Anyway, I initiated a position sometime ago. Didn't average down!

The questions are simple: Is this a good time to add slowly? Up to 2-3%. What about the law suits it is facing? Value stock or value trap?!
(With these companies that seems to the dilemma one is facing, especially trying to pick some good companies at a discount.)

Q: Hi everyone,

I have a hard time using the MARKET DATA to compare similar companies. For example, which ratios would you use for NVDA, AMD, MU, and others in the same space if you wish. It would be nice to have the same info for other industries, so we might be a bit more self-reliant . P/E are sky-high these days and seem not to matter anymore. Thanks.

Q: Other than the joint venture partners, what companies do think will benefit the most from the AI infrastructure plan introduced by Pres. Trump on Tuesday? I suspect VRT and CLS will benefit, but I am sure there are others in AI support businesses.

Q: Happy New year 5i!

It's been an interesting start to the year, and I've been watching/reading things that seem to be leaning towards or preparing for a 'fearful' period. Thoughts on this? With deployable cash, would you be getting it in the market quickly, or not be in any rush?

That being said, AXON and CSU have all seemed to back up more significantly than they ever have, and CRWD as well with the exception of the update failure event. IESC, PSN, and MU as well trending lower.

I hold none of these and have some USD free for 2 half, or 1 full position. Would paying the FX to get CSU on sale be your top pick? of the ones mentioned, would you rank them in terms of expected growth over the next 1 - 5 years? please add a 3 or 4 more options in there as well if you have other top picks. Small caps are good too.

I currently hold GOOG NVDA AMZN MSFT POWL ISRG CLBT VRT on the US side.

I don't mind managing holdings in a shorter period of time if needed, but aim to find those long term compounders and let them continue to win.

Thanks for everything!

Q: Happy New Year to all of you,
I am heavily weighted in US.. I would appreciate your thoughts for US investments under Trump, for next two years: what do you think will be the top 3 performing sectors? And, what would your top companies be in each sector? Thanks

Q: Please estimate 1-2 year performance rank for these five stocks currently on my watch list. Thanks!

Q: Looking at AMD or MU as an investment. Both appear attractive when considering longer term prospects. Does one appear more attractive to you?

Q: Can you comment on MU earnings? Does the outlook change your views going forward? Anything better to switch into? Thanks.

Q: Do you see value here for Uber and Mu? Both look weak but wondering about lower value opportunities for growth.

Q: Would you add to all of these stocks at these levels?

Q: Are these stocks all buyable at these levels? In which order would you initiate positions?

Q: Good Day,

I, like many 5i folks, have enjoyed a sizable run up on NVDA. It is now the largest company in the world, north of 3.5T. Now that we are this size, is it safe to say that it is unlikely it will double within the 18-24 month 'safe window'? From here, a Double makes it approx 14-15% of the entire US Stock market (google says it's currently about 54T).

Now that many AI models are advancing/pushing focus to the next stages, inference, etc, and with MSFT working with AMD on a chip for such, and those chips also requiring HBM3 memory, would there be an argument for managin ones NVDA position down to a more normal size, IE not overly overweight, and picking up positions in AMD and MU, for example?

I know that NVDA is optimally positioned to capitalize, with excellent margins, market share, etc, but at this size, I feel like NVDA losing even 5% market share would be punished, even though it would still have the lions share. But if AMD took that 5%, that would be a significant increase for it and could precipitate it being the next T market cap with a bit of momentum.

What are your thoughts on this type of logic? Are their other companies you think have a better chance of doubling in the coming year or 2?

Thanks for everything,

James

Q: Have you seen any news from MPWR regarding the Edgewater Research report suggesting the company could lose
part of its business with chip maker Nvidia?

Thank you.
