Q: I hold the following technology companies for a 31.66% weighting in my portfolio. I need to reduce this to a maximum weighting of 20%. Given the holdings are long term, and I wish a balance between stability and aggressive growth in this sector, which of the above companies would you cut down or eliminate to achieve this goal? Current individual weights are; CSU 4.88%, GOOGL 4.94%, AAPL 4.8%,GIB.A 3.2%, SHOP 2.57%, PHO 2.56%,MU 3.27%, NVDA 3.22%, KXS 2.21%.

Q: After reading a detailed report of the semi space I'm more confused than before. A brief comparison and outlook of these 3 please? Deduct credits as you see fit of course.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I do appreciate you going into the usa to recommend a stock. I am trying to reconcile/understand your Micron (MU) recommandation at your latest appearance on BNN (Peter on feb 20th). It seems like MU is rarely (not so often) listed in your more and more frequent lists of recommended usa stocks (am I wrong?). Are the criteria, risk profil or time horizon different for your BNN appearances then your Q&A? More specifically, would you consider MU a long term hold or more a cyclical hold (meaning sell/underweight at certain portion of the economic cycle)?
Thank you for your collaboration,
Eric

Q: Any major concerns with the lawsuit against MU? I'm not sure how often this occurs with tech companies. Would it change your overall positive view of the stock?

Q: I like this stock and noted your comments that it may not move a lot until later in the year. What do you think about a straddle for the next few months. Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i! I hold GUD, but was wondering if I should swap it out for MU. I am looking for growth. What would you suggest? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Morning Peter and Team,
I found it interesting that Peter chose Micron as one of his top picks on a recent visit to a Canadian TV program. As it is a bit unusual to choose an American company I assume you are very positive about its future. Could you please give me more detail as to why you think this is an excellent American company to invest in. Thanks again for your continued appreciated guidance.

Q: Hello,
MAXR is really cheap..wondering if US spending on defence may benefit it? Especially Digitalglobe?

Another cheap company is MU in a different sector..What are your thoughts on these sale priced stocks at current levels?

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and team:

I'm making some tweaks to my U.S. holdings, and I'm considering selling my Micron shares (at a significant loss) to buy Trade Desk. Do you think this is a reasonable move at this time?
Thanks,
Brad

Q: Which stocks are undervalue or cheap as of today?.

Q: Looking at Microns history it has been quite volatile. Between the end of 2014 and mid 2016 it fell over 70% which ended up being a fantastic buying opportunity. Looking at it now, it has fallen over 40% since its most recent peak. If it were to fall a similar % as 2014-2016 it could go all the way to 20 bucks.

Looking at the most recent balance sheet however, the company paid down a massive amount of debt in 2018, and generated a ton of cash. Is there any estimates of how much cash/share this company could have at the end of 2019? If 2019 is anything similar to 2018 it looks like a decent % of the market cap could be in cash, which makes me think a similar decline as 2014-2016 is unlikely . Is the risk/reward getting increasingly interesting here?

Thanks!

Q: Listened to micron CEO today explain effect of tariffs on his business, micron has some production facilities in China whose products when imported to USA will be subject to new tariffs. Net effect was margin decline of .5 to 1 %. Also they are looking to move production out of China to mitigate tariff effects. Would Photon potentially get some of this this shifting of production, not only by micron but by other semi manufactures? Does photon have excess capacity to go after hew clients? Greg A.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,
Based on past answers, looks like you are positive on MU. It has been pretty volatile this year so far. What price would be appropriate if someone starts to open a position ?

Thanks

Q: Hi Guys, any thoughts on why the 10% drop today? Just money coming out of tech? anything company specific?

Q: Hello. If you could choose either QCOM or MU, which stock would you pick for a few months of swing trading? Thanks.
