Investment Q&A

Q: With all of the fear around software being made obsolete due to AI, are there any particular businesses that you might see as being inappropriately oversold in this mass sell-off? I’m specifically wondering about TOST, as it seems that because it is so integrated into restaurant ecosystems, this would be hard to replace with AI… any thoughts on this? Many thanks.

Q: Hi,

I need to raise some cash.

What would be your order to sell of the stocks listed, for a long-term, somewhat growth oriented investor.

Thank you,
CG

Q: What's your opinion on ESTC Elastic these days for a buy or not?

Thank you.

Q: These are my current holdings. Can you suggest 2 usa names to add to this list which might be complementary? I was thinking about NXT but it's jumped today. I would like to add two names that are not at 52 week highs but yet, are also "growthy." Maybe something that has pulled back irrationally like a NXT or UNH (prior to the big gains today). Thank you,

Jason

Q: I'm thinking that we are still in early innings of the AI / Data Centre / Power Consumption game. Assuming that to be true, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to capitalize on this opportunity. So, what are the top 3 to 5 sectors & their companies you would curate in a portfolio to "win" this series over the long term and why? I would appreciate your valuable insight once again. Thank you.

Q: hi 5i, Are these two OK to buy today? for 3 years hold
thanks

Q: Hello,
I'm looking for some tax-loss proxy ideas for the following names:

CAN: DEFI, DCBO, HPS.A, KSI, VHI
US: CLBT, NBIS, PLTR, SYM, FOUR

Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i,

The quarter has been quite a ride so far. Get a sniff of a miss or lower guidance and stocks drop faster than a toboggan coming down Mt Everest.

Do you have any recommendations that appear to be Buys if you don’t already have a position? Some examples are: DDOG, VRT, TTD, TMDX, SPSC, CELH, CLBT, ROAD, CECO, APPF, ASPN, POWL, (electrical grid suppliers), and any other intriguing opportunity? The purchases would be for a 3-5 year hold.

If feels like the tipping point for earnings for many companies has been reached. If a looming reporting date is like a 5-alarm fire warning to get ready to bail water and run for the hills, which sounds like… opportunity!

Thank you for all of your help and wisdom.

Q: Should I be buying on this dip this morning or wait? Is this a longer term problem or just a one off of bad news for Datadog?

Q: looking to move on from the name. looking to use to fund to buy Tempus Ai, Zedcor or NBIS?

with the hardware AI theme loosing steam and AI software picking up what other names in the US look attractive?

Q: I've held XYZ in a reg account for a while now awaiting a recovery (down 50%) that never seems to take hold. I have to imagine there are much better opportunities, particularly in the US tech space. What would be some suggestions for replacement I could explore. I've had my eye on FOUR for a while, thoughts on this one as well would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Q: Hi. I totally missed the boat on Palantir. When the stock was in the high 20s, my beliefs and lots of what I read was confirming that the stock was over priced (at least that is what I thought), and I felt same as the stock rose to the 30s, 40s, .... and now over a hundred. And I still feel that the stock will need to correct at some time, as it has a trailing P/E in excess of 500 and possibly a P/E of at least 300+ looking forward. I made exactly the same mistake with many other companies such as Netflix, Facebook, .... I know that small, newer companies can exponentially increase their profits as they grow up but there is no guarantee that they will be successful (let alone be excessively successful).
So my question is three fold (please deduct necessary credits).
1. What did I do wrong here? I watched the stock go up and up and never pulled the trigger, thinking it was always too expensive. I sometimes feel it is more of a meme stock.
2. Would you buy Palantir at these prices / why?
3. Do you feel that there may be some other companies out there that may be in their early days (or well established) with lots of room to grow. If yes, your listing a few of your top convictions, along with a sentence (or two) explaining your rationale and intuition would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Q: I have enough money to start a position , which one would you be inclined to hold for a 2-3 years hold.
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Can you recommend five U.S. and five Canadian diversified stocks with medium to high risk, strong growth potential, and at least positive earnings?

Q: Do you prefer CRM or NOW. It seems CRM is down in sympathy with NOW results. Were they really that bad? CRM trailing PE is almost 30 but NOW is much higher I believe. I have sold half my NVDA with the idea to move it into the next phase of AI adoption, software. Am thinking one of these and perhaps PLTR. You have much posted on it, any information you could add regarding buying it, would be helpful. Any other software companies you would consider? Thank you so much.

Q: While picking up the pieces from the Deep Think carnage on my tech stocks, it occurs to ask which stocks will benefit from the possible reduction in the cost of AI......can you provide a short list 5 - 10 of potential beneficiaries of that? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I own small (2-3%) positions in Snowflake, MongoDB, and Datadog. Would you currently hold these stocks or sell them? If sold, what are some possible replacements in the tech sector?

If I were only to sell one, which holding would you let go of first and why?

Thanks.

Q: I know you like both but for a purely growth if you could only buy one company for a 3-5 year hold would you buy Datadog or Celestica today?
Thanks for all of you folks do!

Q: Hi Folks!

Could you tell me what the 24 month expected growth is for Datadog and Celestica? Do you see this as a good entry point or are these companies expensive based on your metrics? They have had quite the run up.
Would you wait for a pull back or be fine hopping in now.
This is for a 2-3 year hold.

Thanks so much for all you do!

Q: Hello 5i

Back in 2019 I asked if you could provide a "growthy" USA portfolio.
The above stocks were your recommendations.
Could you provide an updated "growthy" USA portfolio for 2025?
Thank you!
