Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
We own no crypto stocks. I feel that we should have some exposure in our portfolio. Now there has been a bit of a pull back… I cannot decide on what combination of stocks or ETF’s (cnd or US$) to buy in this sector for total portfolio weight of approximately 4-5%. What 3 combination of companies and/or ETF would you buy for a balanced exposure to the sector.
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: How would you rank these for growth? I own GLXY and NBIS already. GLXY is 3.5% and NBIS 1.62% position. I could add more to NBIS or start new positions in either CIFR, IREN, HUT or HIVE. I see you recently started a new position in HIVE, but assuming you could choose between all of these companies, how would you compare or rank HIVE to HUT, IREN and CIFR as new AI/HPC plays from bitcoin miners? Thanks!

Q: Hi. I have tried a couple times to submit this question now...

My kids have a family RESP. Oldest child will be starting post-secondary in 9 years.

Currently have GLXY, BN, SIS and T.
What will be good holdings to add to this? If sector diversification is not taken into consideration, what will be good to add?

Thank you.

Q: I currently own all of the above in various porfolios. In a concentrated TSFA which 3 from your balanced portfolio would you buy for long term. Currently own GLXY and PRL at great loss in TSFA would you add?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
Given the current valuations and the growth projection (or lack of), which two of these four stocks will most likely to have the least possibility of year end bounce and thus are ideal for tax loss selling? MDA, TRI, SRAD, or GLXY. Do you see any of these worth repurchasing for a 2 year hold after the 30 days period? Thanks.

Q: Good morning, If needing to raise a little cash, which TWO of these stocks would you consider selling given current markets: TVK, ATD, GRID, EQB, GLXY, CLBT, NXE or AXON?

Thanks very much

Brad

Q: In reviewing your Growth portfolio YTD I notice that the best YTD increases are CLS, PNG,ZDC,GLXY, HPS.A … in that order. And mor of these are your top holdings as well.

Given the pullback are any of these “buyable” again now; and if so, at what prices would you suggest. I already own all of these stocks - thank you very much!

Q: I’m thinking of purchasing galaxy as a first time buy. Would the current price be a good entry, and in your opinion would this be a good purchase. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have been researching the financing models of neocloud operators. It appears that these companies are financing their GPU infrastructure investments at capital costs that significantly exceed their return on invested capital (ROIC). In other words, their cost of capital is materially higher than their ROIC, resulting in a value destruction dynamic where each dollar of new capital deployed actually destroys economic value rather than creating it.

This situation raises questions about sustainability:

1. How are CoreWeave, Nebius, and similar operators financing these substantial infrastructure buildouts, given the mismatch between capital costs and ROIC? Is this model sustainable in the long term, or does it rely on continuous refinancing and favourable market sentiment?

2. Considering Galaxy Digital's recent announcements regarding data center partnerships and infrastructure initiatives, how exposed is Galaxy Digital to these neocloud operators? What percentage of GLXY's revenue or growth expectations is tied to these relationships?

3. If the neocloud financing model proves unsustainable, meaning operators like CoreWeave or Nebius encounter difficulties with refinancing or solvency, what impact would that have on Galaxy Digital's business and financial projections?

I would appreciate your perspective on whether this concern regarding capital structure is reflected in GLXY's valuation, or if it poses an underappreciated risk for investors.

Thank you for your continued insights and research.

Best regards,

Matt

Q: Hello 5I team.Currently down 30%.Considering tax loss sale.Would 5I wait the 30 days to buy back or at this time rather invest in another name that is off but would have as good if not more potential bounce going forward not.Considering any sector?Thanks again Larry

Q: I can see potential in this name when the sentiment turns on crypto and it will.The American debt problem is not going away.I foresee incredible stock market volatility in the years ahead,no matter who is in power.I am 75 but will continue to be fully invested
by paying attention to you and the markets.Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Q: I hold these in registered accounts and am down approximately 20% for each stock.For a 2-3 year time frame would you buy/hold/sell at this time?Would your answer change if asked in January?
Thank you very much

Q: When do you think this will turn around and what might that take? Do you think we are seeing retail traders throw in the towel? I was concerned when I was down 10%. Now I’m down 40%. I see you rate it well so I’m holding. I am just losing hope and am frankly worried.

Q: Currently down 25%. How far would 5I let this run before moving on to ? You best case idea Thanks Larry

Q: Hi. I've built positions across the digital asset and payments ecosystem that I'd appreciate your perspective on. My current holdings include: direct Bitcoin ownership (DCA monthly for store of value), FETH (smart contract infrastructure exposure), GLXY (institutional crypto services plus AI compute optionality), and PYPL (established fintech playing multiple angles; PYUSD stablecoin, BNPL, crypto trading, traditional payments, and I use PYPL quite a lot myself). I do also own JPM.

I'm considering adding CRCL but struggling with the valuation at 79x forward earnings (although it is 31x 2 years forward). My thesis is that I already capture stablecoin growth multiple ways; FETH captures a lot of stablecoin volume, GLXY services institutional stablecoin users, and PYPL's PYUSD gives me direct issuer exposure with less regulatory risk since they have diversified revenue streams.

CRCL feels like paying growth multiples for what I think might become a "utility-like" business earning regulated fees. Also, if stablecoins become critical infrastructure the regulatory hammer could fall hardest on pure-play issuers like Circle versus diversified players.

I think my current portfolio seems to cover the bases; Bitcoin for macro crypto adoption, Ethereum for DeFi/Web3 infrastructure, GLXY for the picks-and-shovels institutional play, and PYPL for the mainstream fintech integration angle (+ maybe JPM).

Am I missing something by passing on CRCL? I'm interested your thoughts on whether CRCL offers unique exposure I'm not getting elsewhere? Or if there is something I am overlooking?

Q: Good day everyone
I would like to know in which order would you buy today from (CLS, PNG, CSU, LMN, GLXY, GSY, PRL, MDA, GRID, VHI, HPS.A, BN, X, TRI, SHOP, DSG).
Also please included a buyable rating for each from 10 down to 1 with 10 being a great buy and 1 not at this time.
Thank you very much
