Investment Q&A

Q: I must be missing something re MU. It is trading aa bit over 10x next years earnings, unless my sources are wrong. My question is why? They are building two new huge production facitilites in Boise, one in Japan and one in New York, because the supply can't keep up with demand. Their margins have increased from around 15% 18 months ago to 55% now, and they are projecting 66% in Q1.

I know they have two major (successful) competitors, but the demand is so strong, and the backlogs so long, I just don't see any major risk for at least the next 12-18 months. Am I wrong? So why is the PE so low?

Q: More of a comment than a question. With all of the angst around sfotware stocks right now and the negaitve sentiment it reminds me of the memory stocks like Micron ( MU) back in 2024-2025, not that long ago. From June 2024 to April 2025 MU declined by 50% , much like TOi, CSU etc now.. only to recover 500% from the low to January 2026. Everyone hated memory then and love it now :)

Q: I have held these stocks for many years. Their performance has been disappointing compared to other US stocks. In your expert opinion, are they worth holding or should I sell? What 2 stocks would you buy to replace them. Please expand on your thinking. Thank you for your guidance. Stella.

Q: Thank you for your just published special report on AI but will you soon publish a report listing the cos and sectors which will be negatively affected and whose moat will be disrupted?

Q: What are ai cos. are there to many to name them. which one are your favorites?
Thank you so mutch.

Q: I must have been napping or looking in the wrong direction when these guys took off.

Lots of FOMO here. Can I still play? More upside potential?

Or look elsewhere for growth?

Perhaps similar but undervalued companies in this sector?

Thanks.

Q: Good Morning
With all the increases in Capex spending what specific stocks do you see as benefitting short and long term? This might seem like an obvious question but with all the negative momentum it needs asking. Thank you

Q: Hi 5I.
Samsung has announced that they will start large-scale production of the next generation of high-bandwidth memory chips as soon as this month which seems to be a significant threat to MU who's recent success lies in the production of HBM chips. I was about to take a position in MU and this news has dampened my decision. Your thoughts and guidance please.

Q: With IREN being down almost 30% over the past 5 days do you see a buying opportunity here? Are there other similar names that you'd prefer to buy on this dip?

Q: Keeping current market conditions in mind and assuming we still have more downside to come, can you share 5 US and 5 Canadian stocks/ETFs on your shopping list? I'm not worried about diversification - just looking for your top picks regardless of sector overlap.

Thank you!

Q: I have 8% cash in my portfolio after I sold all my CSU in December. I would like some suggestions as to what AI related stocks to purchase.

Q: Hello team,

If you had money only for one, which one would you buy today and why? I wanted to buy SNDK but I have burn before when a stock grow exponentially. SNDK has gone up by more than 2000% in the past 200 days!!! Is this justified? Do you think there is more room here and the stock makes it to $1000/share in the next 200 days?

As always, thanks for all your input and investment insight! :)

Q: "Trade Rationale - We continue to like KXS over a long-term holding, but amid the sell-off in software names, KXS has been hit, and while we think it can eventually recover, it may take some time. At this time, we are looking to reduce the size of the position in favour of adding to other names which we think have better secular tailwinds. "

is what 5i said in your recent market rundown piece. Just wondering what stocks or sectors you would be thinking of in particular, US and Canadian?

thanks as always

Q: Hello Team,
Could I have three robotic names(Canadian and US, ETFs) you recommend please.
Many thanks!

Q: Your thoughts please on selling CLS inside aTfsa and buying the much cheaper Micron and Sandisk Thx

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.
