Investment Q&A

Q: I am a very seasoned investor that has been lucky enough to come into some extra cash.

Regardless of sector. What are your top 5 US absolute must haves. For longterm and entry price guide.


Thank you, Jay.

Q: I’ve heard that data centre spending between now and 2030 will fall into three buckets: CPUs, Ai accelerators, and infrastructure, where CPUs are the slowest growing segment. Do you agree with that framework, and if so, could you briefly explain the difference between these three areas and recommend the best companies in each? Thank you.

Q: I am wondering about protecting myself from downward moves of NVDA price based on earnings results and news next week. My strategy so far is limited selling as the stock has ramped up beyond any "normal" I have seen.
Of course the dichotomy is:
- Fear that the bubble / AI hype will fizzle and my paper gains never materialize, and;
- Trepidation that I will regret selling another single share if NVDA's future stays bright.

So would options be a way to play this or is this quite expensive? It appears that ATM puts are $7.00 for AUG30. A full 5% premium to protect downside. Crazy? Other Thoughts? Thanks as always - you guys are amazing.

Q: I am overweight both of these names. I am hoping for a recovery pop at which time I will seek to sell down a bit and spread the money out. Can you please give me a few other names that you might suggest for growth at this time? I sold booking holdings at a loss so please exclude that name. I am too afraid to buy back smci due to its wild volatility. I was consider coherent, Motorola, and Monolithic Power but am open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Q: I want to buy some nividia stock. It would be purchased with Canadian funds and some would be in a registered account and some woulld be in a non registered account. My holding time would two to three years and possibly longer. Is it better to buy NVDA-Q or NVDA-NE?
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Ian

Q: Hello Team,

I am setting up a TFSA account for my son, he would be saving this money for a house down the road (at least 5-7 years away).

I was thinking maybe purchasing 3-4 stocks and 1 ETF for him to hold, can you let me know what you would recommend. We are going to deposit the max he can deposit which is 19.5K.

Looking to maximize growth.

Thanks.

Q: I was planing to start a position before earning release but have read that Nvdia’s latest artificial intelligence chips (Blackwell B200) may be delayed by three months or more due to design flaws. I’m wondering what impact this could have on the stock. Thankyou.

Q: I currently hold NVDA in non-registered account and two registered accounts. In view of the poor performance and perhaps a low future growth in the automotive industry, I am thinking of selling my position in the non-registered account, harvest a capital loss and initiate a position in NVDA. I am trying to take advantage of the pullback in NVDA and increase the growth profile. Understanding your limitation in providing advice on this move, your opinion of the pros and cons of this switch would be appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter…I see both SIS & NFI set 52 week highs today with NFI up 40% year to date. I have owned SIS for a number of years thanks to 5i, so thanks again! I also owned NFI about 10 years ago and sold my shares in stages generating a profit every time, and yes the profits shrank as time passed! I know you’re negative on NFI, but you also recommend buying stocks which set new highs. I’m considering selling my Super Micro and buying either NFI, SIS, MDA or SHOP. Of the 4 I have an existing position in SIS only. I believe I am an “aggressive” investor but Super Micro’s roller coaster ride is testing me. I have owned NVDA since 2017 which I consider to be a core holding. Maybe I don’t need to own 2 chip makers? I’m perplexed, could you give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I would like to add to the listed stocks, at current valuations, for a 3 year hold. Would you please rank in order of buying the ones you are ok with adding to at current prices. Thank you

Q: Just read a very interesting artice by Tony Seba regarding his prediction of a humanoid disruption in the not too distant future where robots and AI repalce much of the labour market, starting with more basic functions and developing into more complex. He believes its not as far off as we may think. He believes this to be of critical importance for the success of countries moving forward. Thoughts on his theme? Which individual companies do you think may benefit from a prediction such as his, as well as are their ETFs which invest in a basket of such companies (both AI and robotic)?

Q: Good Morning,


It seems like the market has recently decided that the AI investing theme has peaked, and somewhat earlier than expected. Would you agree, and is it perhaps time to consider selling some winners?

It’s unlikely that SMCI will return to its highs from earlier in the year, and it’s a very different company, but is the current market sentiment likely to continue pulling down other AI-related winners like Vertiv and even Nvidia?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Brad

Q: Hi Group i am treating the above stocks as core positions. I am concerned that some of the list are taking big hits so should i take profits while there is still some $ left in the black . FFH is an example where my profits was 40% now less than 10% ? (this is my worst performer so please answer specifically what you suggest buy, sell or hold). . Please advise if I should take some profits or just ride it out. List in order of preference...Buy sell ,or hold Thanks for your thoughts on this dilemma

Q: A rather timely question this morning for 5i clients. If you wanted to add on the big pullback this morning, what would be the 3 names you'd add to? Thx

Q: Hi 5i team
With the recent downturn in the stock market, being a relatively new investor, how long would you expect stock to drop or do you believe have we already reached close to the bottom? And what are your thoughts on tech companies such as Nvidia and Microsoft going forward (what would you consider a good buying point to look for)?
Thanks!

Q: Thank you for your calming market update!!

I do have cash to deploy, given the volatility in the market and the significant pullback, what would be your top 5 Picks in Canada and the US with growth potential during the next 2 to 3 years?

Thanks
Tim

Q: If I had a little cash today to buy in my RRSP, which has a ten year horizon and generally follows your balanced portfolio, what would you think would be a good name to purchase based on todays activity?
