Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning 5i
could you please provide a number of US non dividend paying stocks that would be good for selling covered call options on in the current environment. thanks

Q: Since a few weeks amd seems becoming again interesting as a promising stock. Please tell me your thoughts on that and how amd would be in a better position now in view of the ai market development in the coming years.

Thank you for wonderful work you're doing

Q: In your opinion how safe is it hold AMD at the current price of this stock?

Do you see a reason to go higher or do you see a reason for the stock price to decrease?

Thank you.

Q: Well happy days for all chip companies. With the recent about face and being able to sell "lower" end chips again to the Chinese market how do you see this playing out for these 2 companies and others? With NVDA hitting a 4trillion value without being able to sell in this market where could their valuation go from here in your opinion?
What percentage of the Chinese market did they have prior to the embargo that has now been lifted?

Thanks

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: Happy Summer day 5i Community :

Over the weekend watched a YouTube video of Tom Lee's interview with Korean news, Tom mentioned "GRNY" his recently inception ETF:Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF which runs a concentrated 35 large cap stocks, and has been out performed "QQQ" & "MAGS" so far this year. Could I have your opinion of this ETF if it is worth to give a try and rick facts associated with it please?

Thanks,

Q: Good morning 5i
I would like your advice on a covered call options strategy. To date I have been selling covered call options on stocks I already own, such as Nvidia, Meta, Google, Shopify, etc. I sell mostly three week to monthly expiry dates. I usual tend to buy back and roll out if the market price surpasses my strike price. ( which I have been doing more frequently, recently).

All of these stocks have very high embedded capital gains and i wouldn’t want to pay the tax if called away. So far buying back and rolling out has worked well, though.

But, I am looking at other strategies, such as buying two or three good stocks, such as amd , palientir, etc specifically to sell call options. Here being called away is not a problem, as one would have little capital gains tax and , say in the case of amd, wouldn’t miss losing it, since I hold Nvidia.

Another possibility is to sell call options on a relatively volatile etf, such as QQQ.

I highly appreciate your advice, as I do in all investing questions

Q: On semi-conductor chips, I already own NVDA (since 2023). Considering adding another with your help.
I really don't see chip demand letting up anytime soon (Ai, robotics, autonomous vehicles, cellphones, IoT, etc).
With TSMC opening mfg plants in Arizona, maybe some of the geopolitical risk is tempered now.
Is QComm the dark horse?

THX.

Q: AMD is soaring this morning and I’m not able to see a clear reason why. Is this related to their improved method for chip stacking?

Q: I recently sold AMD to harvest a tax loss with the intention of repurchasing it after 30 days, however I am not rethinking the strategy and buy NVDA instead as it seems to have stronger prospects. In effect, which of these two companies do you think is a better investment today?
Thank you
Frank

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: All of these stocks I have positions in and would like to add only if the price is right. Can you give me a target number for each stock listed? CRWD, PLTR, SOFI, AMD, GOOG, IWO, META, AMZN, GSY, UBER, L, DOL. Take as many credits as you need. I'm 33 and these are for retirement so long term horizon.

Q: I'm down 10% on AMD, do you still think it has good potential. Saw a youtube video saying it's about to 100X haah. I have a small position and considering adding here let me know your thoughts!

Q: AMD or INTEL in your opinion which has more potential coming out of this mess?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Can you comment AMD and GOOG earnings? Both are droping 7%+ after market.

Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i,

I'm expecting some turbulence coming for sure. I doubt all is priced in with the tariff battle. Of course nobody knows. But opportunity may be knocking.

I refreshed myself on Peter's cover call write up from years past. I'd love a new take on selling covered calls to enhance your income and some strategies relating to it. ie, OTM, time frame etc.

And some top stocks in your view for writing on. Excluding NVDA, already sell OTC cc on my position.

Thank you very much.

Q: With DeepSeek Chinese open source models being competitive with American models using less compute power, I can see other American tech giants and small players try to replicate the same very soon.

How bad is this new development for companies like NVDA and AMD? Should we cash in some of our profits now and wait for further development?

Will companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon... suddenly feel like they have wasted their billions? Will this drive a negative sentiment for their own stock prices in the short term ?

What does 5i recommend if we have large gains in the bive mentioned stocks?

Q: Hi everyone,

I have a hard time using the MARKET DATA to compare similar companies. For example, which ratios would you use for NVDA, AMD, MU, and others in the same space if you wish. It would be nice to have the same info for other industries, so we might be a bit more self-reliant . P/E are sky-high these days and seem not to matter anymore. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Looking into your crystal ball for 2025, is this the year for AMD to finally show some stock price appreciation? I have held it for several years now, and am still underwater by over 12%.

I’m losing some patience, considering the relative growth in NVIDIA (which I’ve done exceptionally well with and still hold, thanks to 5i). I notice that in recent questions, some 5i members also hold AMD, and I’m wondering if you guys are not losing patience, as well?

Do you have three other tech or AI-related picks (any cap size) that you have a much stronger conviction in than AMD, for a three-year hold? Or, is there a potential catalyst on the horizon that might indicate staying the course with AMD?

Thanks very much,

Brad
