Investment Q&A

Q: Wow - did I ever screw up! I bought PKI shares on October 30 not realizing there was a deal already in the works with Sunoco. It appears to me that I lost half my investment in a week. Can I use this as a tax loss?

Q: Does 5i have a podcast I can watch occasionally?

Q: Hello team,
Based on a bit of research I have done, I would like to buy these companies in the following order: ASML, SMCI, ANET, AMD, AVGO, SITM, ARM, PWR, PLTR

I am buying them to further focus my portfolio on AI for the next 5-10 years. I already have the hyeprscalers and the usual AI suspects but, somehow, I missed on the companies listed above.

Please deduct as many credits as needed for the following questions:
What do you think of this list?
Would change the order based on their resent declines/Valuation?
Would you drop any of the above based on their excessive valuation which may not meet the expected growth in next 5-10 years?
Would you wait a bit more before you buy or just proceed today?
Is there a better company that can substitute any of the above based on moat in AI? Any other company that you think I should also consider?

Thank you as always for your invaluable help and insight. (Without you I would have quit investing a long time ago!)

Q: Greetings 5i,

Your thoughts on DEFN amidst all this Rare Earth hype would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Q: I have enough money to buy one, which one would you choose? And why for at least a 5 year holding.
Thanks for your service.

Q: Does your long to medium term outlook for united rentals remain unchanged? I’m down 15% to-date, but wondering if I should be concerned about anything. Can you describe further their recent earning results.

Q: First of all. thanks for your timely advice and guidance in these crazy times!!!

Do you feel POW is a good conservative play in a RRIF rather than BN, if one is concerned about safety in a portfolio and with BN's price drop lately
or do you think BN is still a good stock to hold for the long term?


Thnx 5I

Q: Examples of funds offering exposure to Chinese tech stocks include the Invesco China Technology ETF (CQQQ) and the iShares MSCI China Tech UCITS ETF (CTCE). So far this year, the Invesco China Technology ETF has returned 38%, roughly double the Nasdaq 100's 19% gain.

Which would you recommend?

Thank you.

Q: what is the present status of the capital gains inclusion rate for personal and corporate investment accounts?

Q: In light of Seema’s question today… “Please share your suggestions for 3 best index funds for TFSA as of today and non registered account for 5-10 yrs. What are your thoughts on CSU, GLY , SHOP to add as individual stocks. Thank you” …what do you think of keeping it simple and just contributing to XIT? XIT’s combined weightings of SHOP, CLS, & CSU is approx 70%, so this may be another reasonable way to invest in Canadian tech.

Q: Hi Team
I currently hold both ENB and FTS and I'm looking to add to one of them. Which one would you add to at this time, it will be for a long term hold (5+ years)

thanks
Paula

Q: Why is Peyto on fire today? Earnings was a few days ago. Do you think it has much upside? I'm asking because I'm sitting on a nice gain, and wondering if I should take partial profits. Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i, I know that you have answered several recent questions on Telus including the dividend sustainability. But given the drop today (Nov 18) of >5%, which appears to be due to the JP Morgan downgrade, can you please refresh your thesis? Is the market reaction overdone? How does the current situation with Telus compare to that of BCE in the months leading up to its dividend cut? Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter:

Given your long experience working with some giants like Sprott and running funds, given the current market conditions, do you think Fund managers will sell and lock in their profits for year end performance figures or buy into weaknesses for a better performance figure next few quarters? Won't their buying and selling behavior affect the volatility?

From whatever I read, it seems that year end performance bonuses are important for many in the industry!!

I am not asking to "time the market" but to withdraw money from my Registered account for living expenses:)

Q: After being beaten down for several weeks, Lumine and Topicus shares jumped, Today (Tuesday), by 15% and 7%, respectively. Volume was not huge, but price action appeared to be good.

Do you think that this could be a sign of year end tax loss selling abating ? What would confirm this thesis ?

In theory, should it also help Constellation Software stock regain some strength ?

Both LMN and TOI are still down over 50% from their highs, but at least, it looks like a positive sign, as long as it does not reverse course.

Thank You

Q: Top five picks for a Santa clause rally?

Q: Could you please give your thoughts on Klarna's recent quarter. How doers it stack up against Affirm and would either of these be attractive at current prices? Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on the ETF SPMO? Would you see this as a reliable investment for a more growth forward investor during the long run? Would you combine this with a more stable dividend ETF to balance risk? Or would you prefer see someone invest in a Broad market ETF such as VFV. Thanks

Q: Down 30% hold or sell
Thank you for your guidance

Q: Is telus a buy under $19. Looking at a long term hold for the dividendsand some growth.
