Investment Q&A

Q: Do you know of a company that is ready to roll out the 5G technology. Thanks. Ernie

Q: Following the recent pullback in a few of these stocks, for a 3+ year time horizon, which order would you purchase at current levels in a TFSA account? Thanks

Q: Hi,
Can you please tell me which companies make EV chips?
Thank you.

Q: I've been eyeing qcom for a bit. Given today's drop, what would be a good entry point?

Q: Seems like the stock is going to open much lower in reaction to their latest quarter. May you please comment on their quarter and is it a good entry point? I already hold some NVDA per your strong recommendation, but if I wanted to diversify in the sector.. would QCOM be your second recommendation as of today? Thank you !

Q: How do rate Ceva as an Internet of things and 5g play? Which companies would you prefer in these sectors? Regards greg

Q: Good morning.
I am looking to buy one of the 4 listed. My distillation of reading your responses to questions is that you would recommend NVDA. Is this correct? Thanks.

Q: What competitive edge has SWKS over QCOM in the 5G market.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Q: I have a small USA portfolio consisting of these darlings which I've held for approx. 3 yrs. It's like watching a snail race. Can you recommend a replacement or two for each? I've done OK with SYK and was in good shape with Vertex until last October. Take as many Q credits as needed.

Q: I just moved my RRSP over to Questrade from PH&N and have lots of cash to deploy (5+ year time line). For tax efficiency, I want to hold REITs, bonds, interest investments, US div stocks/ETFs, royalty income funds or any other investments that are not tax efficient in my MARGIN, TFSA and CORP accounts.
(1) Industrial REITs: I have half positions in DIR, GRT - should I diversify and also take positions in WIR and SMU or focus on DIR and GRT?
(2) Other REITs: Can you recommend any other quality value REITs? Is it a good time to invest in residential REITs?
(3) Can you recommend a good high yield bond ETF that has performed as well as PH&N High Yield Bond?
(4) Can you recommend some good value US div stocks (preferred) or ETFs? I am considering ABBV, PG, VZ.
Many thanks for any/all suggestions/comments!!!

Q: Happy New Year to all of you.
With EV sector is getting hot day by day. Instead of chasing a particular EV company to invest, does that make sense that chips are required to build EVs? If that is true, which chip company (or companies) products are more involved? such as ....

Thanks,

Lin

Q: I just opened up a U.S. -TFSA. Could you pls provide me with approximately 4 U.S. companies that would suit this and advise why you would recommend them. Any sector is fine. I have very little healthcare, I like tech, but am open to your suggestions. Looking for stablility and have a approx. 8 yr time frame.
Thank you so much - you are indeed the guiding light for many out there with our investments!

Q: I would like to use my $10,000 in my TSFA for a technology stock, either software, hardware. I am balanced in my account, so I would like a growth even speculative stock. It can be either Canadian or US

Q: I am looking to add 2 technology stocks to my TFSA account. They can either be Canadian or US stocks, either hardware or software, social media etc. I am buying them for growth, also I can take risks.
Thanks

Q: Hi guys - when (if ever) does it make sense to sell individual stocks and replace them with a focused ETF? For example, I hold the 3 chip stocks above (though only for about 3 months, so only modest gains) since I expect AI, gaming and 5G to be areas of growth in the next few years. Would it make sense to sell these and replace them with SMH, which holds 25 semi-conductor stocks? These 3 are among the top SMH holdings and SMH holds other interesting stocks like TSM, ASML and MRVL. Obvious downsides are that buying SMH would add stocks that aren't currently doing so well (INTL) and would dilute my concentration in these 3. For a non-professional, part-time investor does this simplification make sense or does it significantly limit the upside?

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
I bought these stocks back in March or April 2020 during the market correction, thanks for your recommendation!
Right now, the upward momentum of these high tech stocks are diminishing and their valuations seems high.
What is your opinion about the valuations here, are they over valued too much? I'm worried about the "tech bubble" happens again. Should I sell them now or under what condition you suggest that I should sell ?

Q: Looking to add semi-conductors into my portfolio, as there is a shortage of product and high demand in the Automotive and Electronics industries. Interested in your perspective on Analog Devices, NXP Semi-Conductors, STMicrelectronics and Micron Technologies, as they have all had a great run, but still have high Buy ratings. If you think these have had a great run, and has some risk, what alternatives would you recommend. Thanks

Q: I am overweight in Tech in my TFSA account. The tech stocks I own are: CSU, DSG, KXS, QCOM, VGT. What would you sell first or would you just reduce weightings? I have done very well with CSU, DSG and QCOM but I am wondering if they have run out of steam.

My second question relates to increasing holdings in Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Communications and Health Care. Please suggest your top pick (Canadian or US) in each of the above sectors. My preference is for growth in my TFSA.
