Investment Q&A

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Your consistent positive answers about PLTR and your courage of conviction is admirable. Whether fellow subscribers pose questions on PLTR lumping it with other technology companies (different fields) or on its own (in Nov/Oct 2023) you have always expressed your positive endorsement of PLTR.

But it has been slipping recently despite positive AI environment and Govt contracts. Whilst it has recovered from its low , it hasn't taken off like other AI darlings. (especially today when Meta added 200B in a day!!)

From your consistent previous answers I know:

You are not a fan of "averaging down".
Yet some times you suggest one take 1/3 or 1/2 position and then take a full position later.
You also have cited studies that suggest taking a full position has better outcome in long term instead of averaging down or up.

I know you answer to fellow subscribers' questions based on the way they pose the question.
That may explain the apparent conceptual contradictions. I understand that.

What are your words of wisdom about PLTR taking above points into consideration. Take a full position/or do a 1/2 now and 1/2 later, wait for a while? Will it reach it's once peak of 40+$? Who are it's real competitors? Should one switch?


Many thanks.

Q: I am trying to purchase 5 american companies to hold in an AI-focussed portfolio, probably for 5 years or so through this next bull market. I already own the megacaps and so I am specifying less than $200 billion market cap for each of these. Can you give me your top AI-related plays with these criteria? Thanks.

Q: I'm hoping you can give your thoughts on these as well as rank these potential AI companies for a 5 year hold.

EPAM; GLOB; C3AI; PERI; UPST; PLTR; SNOW; CAN; VRT

Q: Given that you chose 4 Canadian companies in response to my earlier question, as a follow up question, would you kindly pick 4 US stocks that you believe could increase in value by 1000% over the next 10 years. Each must have a current market cap of at least $750M. Please provide a short reason for selecting each stock. Thank you.

Q: Hello, I am down 25%+ on all of these companies and looking to do some tax loss selling prior to yearend. Can you order these companies in terms of what you would sell first? Would you rank these companies as Sells or Holds (or even Buys)? I am a long term investor, not a trader, so I'm hesitant to sell only to rebuy later, or to average down. I have some ability to do a tax loss carry back to recoup some of my losses from prior years (plus minimize my 2023 taxes).

Q: Hello Peter,

After Fed Powell's update today, is it reasonable to push the pedal for a Santa rally into the new year? If so, what sectors in the US would you look at? Would you look at anything in Canada at all? Any stock suggestions for a 'rational exuberance' would be most welcome.
Looking forward to your perspective.

Regards

Rajiv

Q: Thoughts on the quarter and outlook? seems to be trending in the right direction. Can this be one you hold for the next decade and be rewarded nicely?

Q: Hi 5i team,

Palantir just won another big contract from Government. Can you please comment on the stock's current valuation and growth outlook? Would you consider buying more at current level?

thank you,

Q: I am considering the above companies. Are there any that you would not purchase at this time. Would you kindly order them in terms of quality and potential growth.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Above mentioned stocks I hold as a small percentage of my portfolio. Of course I am down now! However I have been using covered call strategy to "get paid whilst I wait"! So, I am happy to hold them for a few years.
The question I have is this. Are these good companies to hold for a few years? If not, would you suggest any alternatives? I see from your answers that you like FTNT/CRWD,PANW.

Thank you for your answer.
Mano.

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on PLTR earnings. Thank you

Q: PLTR
NYSE/US
Palantir Technologies Inc

Can you please explain in simple terms an old person like me can understand what exactly does PLTR do?

How does it make money?

Thank you.

Q: Hi,

Reviewing the Q&A section, I see you are positive about PLTR but have cautioned that it is expensive. I reviewed research reports on iTrade's website and see the analysts have a SELL rating!! What is your current take on PLTR?

I would like to initiate a small position. (Use your suggestion to buy one third now, one third later and finally full position.)

Also what are other companies that you would suggest as an alternatives, if not PLTR?
Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
Well over a year ago I made a note to look at these five stocks when interest rates peak and/or start to drop.
Recently I have heard commentary that the recent run up in price is largely short covering.
I'd love to hear your take.
Are any in this group investible yet and in what order would you buy them.
I have an above average risk tolerance.
Thank you
Dave

Q: What is your take on Alteryx? Is it less of a strong competitor than Palantir in the AI space? Too much debt? Not enough growth?

Q: Why is Palantir consistently one of the most heavily traded stocks on the NYSE?
