Q: NVDA is a top US favourite of yours. An article yesterday that husband of Nancy Pelosi reportedly bought $1-$5m shares of NVDA. before a bill of $52B in chip subsidies and/or tax credit go to the Senate for vote as early as Tuesday. In light of the foregoing is it timely to buy some NVDA and/or AMD in this market backdrop which had imparted lots of pain. Txs for u usual great services & views.

Q: I love NVDA but it just won’t love me back. Does it make sense to sell NVDA and buy AMD if it is only to harvest a tax loss that would only be used after 3 or more years? If yes, the idea would be to keep AMD i.e. NVDA would be bought back only if it remains in the doldrums after 30 plus days, failing which keep AMD for long term. (2) Would you in fact buy AMD or do you have another semi you prefer?

Q: I sold NVDA to accrue a tax loss and I can now buy it back. You were extremely high on the company 12 - 18 months ago but you have been naming other semi-conductor companies lately - QCOM and AMD specifically when asked about the sector. Have you cooled on NVDA and should I just stay with my proxy, AMD, or I am splitting hairs here and would you be comfortable with returning to NVDA for the long term?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks

Q: Good day team,

I know that you always suggest trading/buying into positive momentum but if you were to choose some stocks (regardless of sectors), on both the CDN and US sides, what would they be? As we are all aware, there is a lot of red out there in certain sectors.

Are there any suggestions you have?

Q: Hi 5i,

Looking for additional exposure in the semi-conductor market. I currently already have a 3% weighting in NVDA. I am looking to potential start a position in AMD or INTC.

Your previous answers to questions suggest you favour AMD (after NVDA) given the companies recent execution.

However, INTC seems to be turning a corner with there plans to build new plants in Arizona in the next few years and change in management. Based on its current valuation (cheap compared to AMD) the current tailwinds of 'on shoring' it seems to me a compelling buy compared to AMD.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate all you do.
