Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In the past you said you like NBIS better than IREN as it is higher quality and further ahead, etc. Now that NBIS stock has way outperformed, ATHs and possibly overbought/consolidating, does IREN stock have good investment potential or do you still prefer NBIS at these levels?

Q: I sent this Q on April 9 but perhaps it was missed, hence the resend. "Question on PANW vs CRWD post-Anthropic Launch.
I’ve noticed a sharp 'gap up and give back' over the last 48 hours [Apr 9] in both Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and CrowdStrike (CRWD). Initially, the market cheered their inclusion as founding partners in Anthropic’s 'Project Glasswing,' but today they are seeing a significant drop—seemingly on fears that Claude’s new autonomous security capabilities could eventually disrupt incumbent vendors.
1. Do you view today’s drop as a valid structural concern regarding AI-driven disintermediation?
2. Which of these two do you feel is better positioned to integrate 'agentic AI' into their platform without eroding their existing moat?
3. Looking at current valuations, does it make sense to harvest a tax loss in PANW here to rotate into CRWD? Or would you sell and deploy proceeds elsewhere, given the current uncertainty in software businesses? :ao:

Q: Hi,

If I own CLS (1/2 position) and MU (1/2 position) already, would there be too much duplication to take out a 1/3 position in VNP as well?

Thanks very much, Michael

Q: This NYSX, Technology ETF inception date is March 25, 2026 so it has a very low AUM at the moment. IMO the fee is reasonable at approx. 0.09% in the 3 versions. As part of the investing strategy it uses P/S ratio. Does this mean it gives a higher weighting towards technology stocks that appear cheaper? If I was interested in purchasing the NYSX:US version. How would you suggest I do it since the trading volumes are very low and the bid/ask spread likely high? Many thanks for your advice.

Q: With the quick change in the market, I feel like an idiot. On the days when things were tanking I was very nervous and didn't really add to any positions. When a growth stock goes from very high to so low it is hard to add more or start a new position. Any wisdom on this? Five that corrected a lot and are now catching a bid. What is your order of purchase for TFSA?

Q: Hello,

Microsoft is trading at its lowest valuation in nearly a decade at 23x earnings, despite Azure growing at 39% and overall revenue up 17% last quarter. By comparison, Alphabet trades at 29x earnings despite lower revenue growth than Microsoft since 2023 (31% vs 44%), and lower net margins (33% vs 39% for Microsoft). That said, Google Cloud is growing at 48%, faster than Azure, which could partly justify Alphabet's valuation premium. Given Microsoft's dominant position in enterprise cloud, its AI integration through Copilot with 15 million paid seats, and this valuation divergence with Alphabet, do you see Microsoft's current valuation as a genuine opportunity for long-term investors? Does Google Cloud's faster growth represent a significant competitive risk for Azure over the medium term? And what are the other key risks that could prevent Microsoft from returning to its historical valuation levels?

Thanks
