Q: If discussing investing in companies pre-IPO is within the scope of 5i please make general comments on such a strategy and investing in Anduril in particular. The company appears to be an established leader in military drone development and is anticipated to go public within the next few years. I am not sure how one goes about participating pre-IPO, but a web search came up with investing via a company such as Forge as an option (presumably for a fee). I meet the criteria but am hesitant to proceed.

My portfolio is well established with many blue chips and large cap tech companies. However, I keep a small seperate portfolio for interesting "moonshots" and I recently I took a small intial position in OKLO, small nuclear reactors, for a 5-10 year hold.

What are 5is houghts on OKLO?

SEC FILING for OKLO STATES ".... Peter Thiel are the members of the investment committee established by Mithril II GP".

What is Thiel's involvement?


Thanks for the help over the years :-)

Q: Good morning,

This weekend I came across this ETF that invests in private companies with the largest holdings being Space X. The 52 week action on tis is insane and I believe it is only a few weeks old in terms of being traded. What is your opinion of this ETF their strategy if any and the trade action in such a short time. Are there other more established funds out there that do the same thing? Would you buy something like this with some fun money? Sybol DXYZ

Q: As Cerberas is not publicly traded, you may not have much to say but I thought I would ask. I read an article from Forbes, “Cerebras Update: The Wafer Scale Engine 3 Is A Door Opener” detailing their technology. With all of the fever surrounding AI, I found the discussion interesting, albeit over my head.
Any thoughts on their technology and its prospects to be adopted more widely? Any thoughts on weather they might eventually go public? Their web site has a link to a private equity investment for as little as $5000. Is this an option for a regular Joe like me?
Thanks In advance for any insights you very wise folks may have.

Q: I own shares in this company. Yesterday, Concord Acquisition and USDC Issuer Circle called off the SPAC merger. I would have thought Concord shares would have stopped trading but it appears not. I am assuming that my best option is to sell at this time as I don't see many other options. Would holding be of any value? Your thoughts? I truely believe in Circle's future. Thank You.

Q: Hi, what to you think of Volkswagen here? If I understand they used the recent Porsche IPO to raise funds to invest in the EV space - they are gunning to be the lead EV provider in Europe and compete with Tesla. But with recession looming near future looks bleak for expensive cars. Do you like VW for a focus on EV longer term over others? If so, would you hold off for awhile or is there a lot of negative baked in the current price?
