Q: Hi 5i,

With regards to Applied Materials (Amat) the 2 most recent questions on your website are from June and August of this year. I am wondering what your current thoughts are regarding this company with items such as Free Cash Flow, Earnings Growth, Debt, Cash Position, Management, P/E, it is overbought at this time etc.

In this sector, would you prefer another company such as Nvidia or any other companies that I should be looking into?

Thanks. Love your service!
Brian

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: 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.

Q: From what i see in the comments of the last months, these 8 companies seems to be among your US favorite stocks.
1- am I right about those 8?
2- would you like to add a few US names, could be in any sectors
3- I buy companies with a 10 year + timeline. A lot of companies i'm interest in are in the technology sector and I tend to be overweighted in that sector. Its hard for me to imagine technology not directly corrolated to industrial or consumer staples growth for exemple. Does it make senses to you to balance a technology overweight (30-40%) portfolio by diversifying among the technology sub-sectors?
4- I understand that you focus on Canadian companies. I also understand that your are conflicting free and that you mostly invest in US stocks. However, I'm pretty sure that a significant proportions of 5i members would be willing to pay for some form of US stocks advices. Maybe a US portfolio or a US favorise stock list. (maybe with a minimum market cap limit so your decisions would still be conflict free) Your services are unique and are a benediction for small investors. It would be a great opportunity for us to have them for the US market too. I'm sure a survey among members would prove me right.

thanks again for your amazing services
