Q: I have 2 questions.
I am looking to buy a few / up to 3 high dividend yielding US stocks for an income portfolio. What could you recommend ?
Looking to hold these US dividend stocks for at least 5 years, does the exchange rate and the premium to buy a US stock matter ? Or is that a long enough time horizon to migitate most of the exchange risk . Thank you

Q: Could I please have your opinion on the following stocks: American Tower Corp (AMT), Cognex Corp (CGNX), Comcast Corp (CMCSA), Corning Inc (GLW), Qualcomm (QCOM), ServiceNow (NOW), Dowdupont (DWDP)? Regarding Fairfax India Holdings (FFXDF), is this a five year hold, or is it money down the drain? Your recent answer to someone asking about Cognex (CGNX) was that it was out of favour. Can I have more details? Do you think this is the time to be buying gold due to the US's huge debt, and the increasing trade tension between the US and China? Thank you for your input.

Q: I ALWAYS ask about only one company at a time in one question. I ask here about two companies only because the two are intertwined.

Confusion lingers over QCOM.us. The uncertainty in my mind is over: QCOM’s long outstanding offer to buy NXP Semi; disputes with major customers (or is it just one customer Apple?) And now a former insider wants to buy out QCOM and his group has not clarified its position on NXPI.

I hold both QCOM.us and NXPI.us. QCOM appears to have a moat in that its products are, for now, allegedly indispensable in many devices. Is QCOM’s moat real?

Which of QCOM and NXPI ---IF EITHER --- would you sell? Your reasons would be much appreciated, thanks.

Q: Dear 5i;
I believe that voice recognition for many PDA devices is going to be a big thing in the future . To that end microphone arrays will be an integral component (hardware ) to accomplish this . Can you provide me one or two names of manufacturers of said arrays ?
Thanks

Q: I bought QCOM a couple of months ago with the intention of holding this longterm for the dividend. In light of the potential takeover by Broadcom, what should I do now and/or if/when it gets taken over? If I have to find a replacement, which US tech-sector stock would you endorse for a generous, stable dividend (preferably >3% if possible) and modest growth, for a longterm hold?

Q: Does the drop this week imply a falling knife situation.
How serious would you interpret the arbitration payout to be moving forward.
Does QCOM have the cash flow to cover this?
Will they need to go into debt to manage this?

Do you still feel this is a company fundamentally worth buying or too much negative momentum?

thanks
