Investment Q&A

Q: I don't own any. What is the buying strategy. Should I chip away or buy a full position and not worry about an entry point.

Q: Hi

Using round numbers NVDA share price is currently about 100 times revenue. For comparison purposes MSFT is 15 times revenue and AAPL is 7.5 times revenue. I understand NVDA has more growth than MSFT and AAPL but what am I missing here?

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating if it was time to trim some NVDA after the big gains the stock has had over the past while. Do you have any quality growth names that would you suggest buying with the funds if I do decide to trim at this point? From my end I was thinking of HPS.A...would this be advisable? Or perhaps ISRG. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: What is the most you would let NVDA run in your portfolio before you would trim it?

Q: I own AMD but not NVDA. I believe that NVDA has a better growth profile and was thinking of a straight-up switch. I hold AMD in an RRSP account so there wouldn't be any tax consequences. Does this make sense?

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to add one more stock in my non-registered account. I have chosen either UBER or NVDA. May I have your opinion as to which one you feel would be best to buy today - for growth.
Thanks

Q: Good morning,

Just curious. In your opinion, do you suspect that Nividia will announce a stock split sometime this year? I sort of recall the last one was around $500 a few years ago.

Thank you

Q: With recent gain in tech sector, are you concerned with valuations getting stretched. Is there some kind of euphoria being building which draws some parallel to 2000 tech bubble. Like 20-30% jump on META, NVDA, SMCI, ARM. Is there a suggested to mitigate risk while maintaining decent exposure. Thanks

Q: Which of these three stocks have the best potential for growth over the next year or two, disregarding any risks etc. I do realize it's a short time horizon, thanks?

Q: HI 5I,
A couple of questions, if I might. Please deduct accordingly.
First, regarding CDRs in general - in looking at the listed companies I note that the price of the CDR compared to the US share price for each company varies considerably. E.g.: For NVDA the CDR price is approximately 9.5% of the US price, for AAPL the CDR is approx. 14.9% of the US price, GOOG CDR is approx 17% of the US version, MSFT CDR comes in at about 7.40% of the US price, and the COST CDR is only about 4.7% of the US price.
Is this variance something that a purchaser of CDRs needs to bear in mind in any way or for any reason, or is it meaningless with regard to returns, and how does the significant variation between companies come about in the first place?
And secondly, could you rank the listed companies for total return over a one year period, accompanied by whatever commentary you choose to offer as to why you've ranked them as you have?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: My suggested allocation for Tech is 16% but due to the amazing run up lately of the likes of Nvidia, Amazon Google and Apple, I’m now over 35%. I know how important diversification is but the momentum is almost overwhelming.
Thoughts???

Q: NVDA now compromises 9% of my total portfolio. What's the maximum weight YOU would be comfortable with? Alternatively, would you consider selling - say - 2% of NVDA and buying VRT? If yes, can you please compare potential risk/reward for both NVDA and VRT over the next two years on a scale of 1-10? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
Kicking myself in the butt for not buying SMCI a few months back after humming and hawing about it. I guess because I have a large NVDA and GOOG position already so didn’t want too much AI exposure.

For some of these names that have run hard over the last 3-6 months, would you add or initiate new positions? I own NVDA, HPS.A and TVK and have nice gains but want to slightly add for long term. I’m reluctant now to buy these new daily highs in SMCI and VRT, afraid of a sharp pullback. How would you proceed? For all the stocks mentioned, what inning do you think we’re in for each? Still long runways? And I know it’s hard, but what would be good price targets to buy if they pulled back? Thanks!

Q: Can you compare NVDA and SMCI on their valuation? Which one do you expect to do better in the short term and long term?

Q: If you had to put together a portfolio to hold for at least one year for max gain what would they be? No concern for risk or the size of the company. Must be traded on a USA exchange although not necessarily a USA company. I’m guessing you will include smci, vrt, google and amazon. Part two of the question is whether I should sell some smci to lock in a gain? I’ve never in my life enjoyed such a large gain so quick. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

As individual DIY growth investor, what are some of the top things we can we do to maximize up-market capture vs minimizing down-market capture? I have a longer timeframe and am comfortable with volatility in the markets. With the strength in tech, the sector has run to ~26% (SHOP, KXS, CSU, NVEI, CRWD, TOI, NVDA, LMN, INTU), followed by financials 18%, cons disc 15%, industrials 12% and the others all below 6%.

Is it time to trim across the board and re-balance? How do you balance this while allowing strong compounders to continue performing over time? What are the key things to do focus on to beat the market going up while protecting those gains and minimizing downside?

Thank you!

Q: Hi, can you give me your 5 best US growth stocks ideas, ranked 1 to 5 (one being best), with a high degree of safety yet good growth to hold and not touch for 3-5 years? Thank you.

Q: In terms of growth and quality, what is your strongest long term recommendation for each of the following investment themes:

Artificial intelligence
Cybersecurity
Cloud computing
Digital payments
Online advertising
Infrastructure rebuild
Alternative/clean energy
Asian consumer spending
Medical needs of an aging population

My preference is for single stock ideas (US, Canadian or international) rather than ETFs, if possible.

Q: NVDA has a p/e of 83 and AMD has a p/e of 329 according to RBC direct investing. I own both and want to sell one. What do you think? Thank you

Q: Hi, I would like to invest in AI (Artificial Intelligent)
I own: . AAPL.3%, ADBE. 3%, MSFT.3%, NVDA. 3%.
Do you have other stocks to suggest to me or add 2% to the four I currently have.
Thanks
