Investment Q&A

Q: Can you give me 3 US strong conviction growth stocks in tech?
Thank You

Q: I am heavily tech weighted and am considering selling my entire position in NVDA and some CRWD as I have large gains in both. I would use the proceeds to buy positions in FLUT and SYK. I would still have position in AMZN, ASML, CRWD, GOOG, META, MSFT and VRT.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Q: These two (especially SERV) are tanking this A.M, presumably because of the news that NVDA has dissolved their position in both. My initial thoughts are that this changes nothing of substance for the company (SERV) itself, and especially that it still has its deal with UBER. Of course substance and sentiment are separate animals. In general how does one play this? Do you wait a few days and see what transpires, buy more? Sell? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Would you be comfortable with owning a full position in both Nvidia and Broadcom?

How much overlap is there between their separate businesses?

Q: Hello 5i
I'm hearing noise about a rotation away from the Mag7 type companies. Could I have your perspective please?
Also what are the expected EPS growth for each of the MAG7 for 2025?
Thank you so much!
Dave

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm curious about your thoughts on sentiment turning against US equities in the coming months. I'm already exhausted seeing all the foolish tweets and news clips coming out of the Trump administration and I have to believe many others are too. Trump 2.0 seems much worse than 1.0! Also, I've been hearing that European markets are already outpacing the US market so far this year and I'm wondering if the US market deserves its current valuation given the increased volatility and increased risks?

I own many US stocks (e.g., 5 of the Mag 7, COST, ISGR, HD, TT, SYK, RS, ZS, HON, V) and I'm thinking for the first time of selling/trimming some of these. I would look to increase my dividend-paying Canadian stocks to generate more income. I'm also thinking about European dividend payers?

I'd appreciate your general views along with any comments you might have related to selling/trimming some of the stocks I've mentioned above. I'd look to sell into the end of this month and buy favourite TSX dividend payers (e.g., ENB, SLF, CNQ, BEP.UN, BIP.UN, T) or others you might suggest after the next tariff decision in early March.

Like many members, I have to thank you again for the wonderful service you provide. Your Q&A section and market reviews are fabulous, especially during difficult times! I also realize this is a long question and the answers are worth more than one credit.

P.s. I had registered to attend this week's webinar which may have answered some of my questions. Unfortunately, something came up over lunch and I missed the webinar. Please let me know if there's a chance of catching a replay.

Q: Good morning,

I have read a fair bit on PLTR and would like your opinion on it's future prospects and what you think of the companies balance sheet/debt ect..

Could PLTR be like Tesla or Netflix from the early 2000's? I remember looking at both of those companies and stocks and at the time using a value approach and just couldn't buy them prices were 24$ and 16$ at the time, those were some missed opportunities. Could PLTR be that or is it a GAME STOP stock?

Thanks

Q: What would be your pick right now for a tech stock for the long-term in a RRSP (3+ years)? Can you provide a few names in order of preference?

Q: Would you consider replacing NVDA with CLS for more stable long term growth? If so what difference does it make to buy on the TSX vrs. the NYSE?

Thank you,

Q: Hi can you please rank in order from best to least for the following FAANG + NVDA stocks for the next +5 years? An explanation why is much appreciated along with a management rating for each. 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: Before any news about Deep Seek , analyst were saying that NVDA was still in a buy position looking long term. What do we think today ? Is this a temporary pull back ? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I read the CEO is selling a lot of his nvda shares. Do you find this concerning?
Also, when does nvda report their earnings?

Q: DELL How will they benefit from AI and Data Build Up ? Is it a buy or do you recommend something else in this space Thank You RAK

Q: Sorry for another NVDA question.
I''ve trimmed it several times as it went up in the past and was waiting for it to reach 10% to trim again. It was 9.5% of my portfolio and now 8% after the deep seek news.
Understanding that portfolio weights are personal to each person, if it was YOUR portfolio what weight would YOU be comfortable today holding NVDA?
Thanks

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: Hi,

Looking to replace NVDA and VRT. I wish to avoid the AI theme and Mag7. Do you have an handful of tech alternatives to suggest in the US?

Many thanks.
Michael

Q: Is NVDA a sell???.....tom

Q: Mid-20’s investor looking for your top 3 Canadian and top 3 US “buy and forget” compounders, regardless of sector, for a long-term hold within a TFSA. Can you please rank from 1 (highest confidence) to 6. Looking for companies that I can periodically but continually add to over time without worrying about having to be a “trader” and move into and out of positions as trends, themes and market momentum shift. I already have BN and NVDA (both of which may have been candidates for your top 6 list). Would this list be any different had the question been asked a week ago – before all the DeepSeek anxiety? Thanks.

Q: Hi there,

If you were to create a US Balanced Equity Portfolio using CDRs only, what would it look like?

Thank you!
