Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: Good afternoon 5l
Nvidia seems to be pivoting to AI factories, as they call them. Could you provide a few names of companies which will likely profit from this turn? Perhaps also with a brief description of why you find them interesting.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Thank you for your answer to my question about LMN the other day. I have one (perhaps two) more:
Does LMN acquire public companies, or does it restrict its acquisitions to those in private hands?
If LMN does acquire public companies, do you think Sylogist would be a potential or likely target?
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: I just saw the spike in CLS stock price today. I’ve been looking to buy but never did. Do you think it’s still a good time to buy or wait?
Would you sell all or some of NBIS or CLBT to buy CLS?
Thanks

Q: After a great deal of scepticism, I have just begun dipping my toes into crypto. I have half a position in HOOD and would appreciate your advice on strategy going forward. As a balanced growth investor, how much exposure would you recommend in the crypto world? Assuming it's greater than the 2.5% currently held, how would you proceed? Thank you.

Q: Hi, is it ever wrong to own a company and its proxy? For example, KXS and DSG. Is it a zero sum game where owning both will cancel out gains? Or can they grow together? Is it advised to just pick the one you have the most conviction in, or perhaps a half position for both (in general)?

Thanks

Q: May I have your thoughts on the “updated collaboration agreement” between Power Co. SE (Volkswagen) and QS? It seems the agreement has expanded up to 260 million USD from 130 million. According to QS some payments will be received in 2025. It appears to me that sales are anticipated. Profits and positive cash flow are likely still off in the distance. Is the company being de-risked? The stock is down today, possibly more was expected or we are seeing “Buy on rumour sell on news” reaction. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: I feel like I ask this question every few months, and suspect that it is a hard one to know with confidence- but here goes. The Trade Desk- it bounces up and down, recently with a drop over 50%. Does this look like a reliable bet going forward? Do you trust its momentum to continue near term? Is there an alternative you would recommend?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
Please explain what I am missing about LMN, which is a name I know you are high on, and which has obviously done well as far as share price appreciation is concerned.
When I review its numbers nothing jumps out at me as a reason to buy - in fact, the opposite: EPS is -1.73; Revenue is substantial but no earnings that I can see - in fact pre-tax profit margin is -210.10%. ROE, ROA and ROC all seem meh to me, while price to sales and price to book seem high.
If it wasn't for 5i's recommendations regarding LMN, based on the numbers I don't think I would give it a second look.
I'm not adverse to owning it, especially given that lots of others seem to want to, and are willing to pay dearly for it. But why would I -or why would anyone else? Is it solely because its a CSU spinoff?
Please enlighten me. Thanks!
Peter
