Q: Hello 5i,
I am considering to let go of Ford and Magna as I don't see an EV catalyst for Ford and I am not sure about Magna since the Apple car rumour has disappeared !!!!
If I was to sell both, I like to add to one of the other tech companies ( listed above). On an evaluation basis which one is cheaper and that it has the forward momentum to excel in terms of their existing products and AI?
Thanks
Carlo

Q: TEAM has a lot of people selling. I am still hanging on to it, but due to the amount of people selling, I think most people sell and buy a stock with more up side i.e. Alphabet, NVDA, MSFT, etc. which in the long run will probably be a better move than waiting for TEAM to bottom out and recover. What is your take on this? Thanks again.

But for many, I'm having a difficult time deciding whether the above stocks are heavily, moderately or lightly cyclical. Please let me know how you would rate them for these 3 categories.
