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: I am looking at industrials that will do well in the USA in the initial Trump period. I see you often recommend TT, but it is down where it was last September, which appears to mean negative momentum, which, you usually steer away from. Do you see strong upside for TT in the next couple of years, and would it be your choice, or one of your picks for this goal? Would you pick it over FIX? Is there anything in the Deep Seek revelations that would negatively affect either holding? Are there other holdings you would recommend, and would you choose more than one, and would you wait a bit for the markets to settle? 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: So Deepseek just made AI hugely gigantically more efficient. And that's verified because they are open architecture and other experts did check it out and they say it is definitely a big advancement and now they can fully copy it. (puzzles me greatly why a co. would go this open route but i guess that's another topic). So now competitors are on an equal footing due to this puzzling largesse of Deepseek being so open, and said competitors can carry on being way ahead. So what's the problem? Everything is now way better.

Q: Hello,
Could you please comment on Celestica's results.
Looks like, the Co blew past estimates and raised their guidance, as well.
Stock is up 17%, in after hours trade at 5.30 PM.
We just started a 2% position, taking advantage of sharp drop, on Monday.
(Thank you for your prompt response, which really helped !! )
Will you be comfortable adding to the position or wait, for a 3-5 years hold ?

Thank You

Q: Good Morning 5i Team,

IESC went to the moon last week with the Stargate announcement, then got torpedoed by Deepseek on Monday. Still worth holding for the new data centres electrical build-out theme, or swap for NBIS or FRSH?

Thank you.

Brad

Q: I'm over weight Technologies with the following securities KSX, SHOP, CLS, TOI, PLTR, CSU and NVDA. If you had to sell one or two which ones would you sell, or would you trim some from each and keep all?

Q: A couple of things I'm not understanding from the Nasdaq Deepseek sell off ..... I know META, Google, Apple, and others are pouring a lot of money into AI research.... But do any of them actually have a verifiable revenue stream as a result of this research ? .....And as I understand it Deepseek's solution is " open architecture " Doesn't that mean anybody can use it as a base for their own uses ?

Also in an answer this morning to Jim you stated that HBND, FMAX, and HBIL were subject to with holding taxes in non registered accounts. What is their status in a SDRIF ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: In one of your answers you state that, "Software may be the 'next' wave of growth, as companies utilizing AI will now see higher margins (lower costs) as well as a possible explosion in useage cases." What would be your top choices, if this was the case. Many thanks.

Q: First, thx for your earlier answer to my questions on Nvidia. I forgot to include a few other questions.

If appears as though DeepSeek might make AI more ubiquitous as the cost of using it would be cheaper. Wouldn't this create more demand for GPUs? I imagine more hardware players will enter thereby creating more competition thus dropping Nvidia's enormous margins. What are the current forward looking numbers? There obviously will be compression, so what do see as potential valuation if this occurs. Lastly, have moved on from the hardware companies to more of the hyperscalers and other downstream companies? Could you list a few safer companies for the last two categories?

Thx

Q: While picking up the pieces from the Deep Think carnage on my tech stocks, it occurs to ask which stocks will benefit from the possible reduction in the cost of AI......can you provide a short list 5 - 10 of potential beneficiaries of that? Many thanks for your excellent service.
