Q: Hi 5i
I like the (relative) stability of CSCO but I like the growth prospects of QCOM. I own both at near enough equal weights in an over-diversified portfolio.
Would you leave well enough alone at this time with these two or would you tilt the scales to increase QCOM and decrease CSCO a little?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you give a brief explanation of what VMS is. Also is this the main component of all three: CSU, Topicus and Lumine. I have some understanding of the operations of these three companies but am still somewhat confused as to their differences from each other. Are there any major competitors and if so could you name a couple. Thanks.

Q: Hi there, I've been holding nxpi at a loss for about 2 years now and I'm getting fed up. I am into it at about $200 a share. Would you suggest that I hold? It had a run up to the $180s in Feb but has since fallen back. I find it painful as it seems to fall all the time. Should I hold and wait and see or move on? Thank you,

Jason

Q: Hi, I was interested to read the question and answer you had yesterday on whether you would pick google over Microsoft (you sided with google). I hold google at a loss (down around 15%). I have been concerned by the argument that ai search will ultimately harm google’s main income source - it’s search engine. One analyst even said google is at risk of cannibalizing its own business with its ai search engine. The other argument against google was that it has only market share to lose against the bing/Microsoft challenge. Can you address these arguments? The fear seems to be that google is a potential candidate for being the next yahoo or Kodak which of course is a little premature to call but that seems to be the bear argument on google.

Thank you.

Q: I am interested in investing in companies that are leaders in developing AI. So far I have identified GOOG, MSFT, NVDA, and AMD. Do you agree with this list and are you able to add to it? I have seen AMZN, AAPL, IBM and META with regard to AI, but are they simply users of AI rather than developers?
Thank you.

Q: Yesterday both GOOG and MSFT reported first quarter results. Considering this limited information which company would you invest intoday for a 2 year hold. Would you consider that MSFT results are reduced by a large "extraordinary charge" for termination of employees that is not expected to be incurred in the future in making this opinion. Thanks. Mike
