Investment Q&A

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

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: I'm looking for a stable long term hold with some growth and a generous dividend to complement my Enbridge holding? These are all US holdings, do I have to worry about special withholding taxes? Are they suitable for RRSP's?

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: Apparently the price for computation by DeepSeek R1 is $0.55 per million tokens compared to $15 per million tokens for OpenAI o1, which it is comparable to in terms of performance. This is about 97% cheaper.
I’ve been reading about Jevon’s paradox ie. as something gets cheaper, usage explodes.
But to my math usage will have to go up 33x to cover the difference in revenue to Nebius.
This will eventually happen, but short-term, aren’t we looking at revenues falling off a cliff for Nebius?

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.
