Q: I have always been hesitant to invest in the auto industry for various reasons but I am thinking with all the shortages of new cars which will continue for quite some time that perhaps now might be a good time to invest. Would you agree with this line of thinking and would it be better to invest in the car manufacturers or the parts makers like Magna?

Q: Suggestions on how to invest to benefit from Biden’s proposed increased EV incentives to buy US manufactured electric vehicles? This potentially could speed up the transition (once the chip shortage is rectified).

Q: Good Afternoon Team, Thanks for your wonderful service. It helping me build a better portfolio. I have 2 stocks in Auto space Magna and Linmar. The current market value of both is the same. I know 5I is strongly recommending Magna. I am sitting on a good gain on Linmar and was thinking about switching it to Ford or GM. No tax consequences as its in TFSA. Have a long 3+ year outlook. The rationale for the same is to diversify within the same sector from Auto parts manufacturer to the Car manufacturer and look for higher growth over the years. Would you recommend the move, if yes which of the 2 stock you prefer or would you recommend something else. I have no other holding in Auto industry.

Thanks

Could you please rank the listed companies in order of preference?

Q: Hello 5i team. I wanted to get your opinion regarding these companies. With investment in Rivian by Ford, GM's EV product and new cars, they both seem like good value opportunities with upside. Can you compare the two from a valuation perspective, and give your opinion?

Also, I read that Intel has best in class driverless car tech. Their legacy business is a drag on their PE. What are your thoughts on Intel and would you be a buyer?

Q: Hi Guys,
I would like your expert opinion on the following stocks, VOYA, BMY, GM and EQH. My portfolio contains a combination of growth and income stocks. Would you consider the aforementioned to be buys, holds or sells?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am not a value guy as you know from my questions, but I do mix in a sprinkling here and there. There seems to be some speculation by U.S. analysts that GM could or should spin off its electric vehicle division into a public company and that would attract a much higher market multiple. In the past, you were not very positive on GM and its prospects. Given the spectacular run of TSLA, has your opinion changed at all on GM, given its electric vehicle assets, and what would you consider to be the likelihood of a spinoff?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave
