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.

Q: Good morning 5i,

VRT obviously the onslaught has continued. I'm viewing this as a potential add. Looking over their revenue, profitability etc.

Despite deepseek and all other noise. Would you wait to see a potential turn or be comfortable adding in this range?

Or do you see a more inherent risk than I?

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, here goes another question on Nvidia. Did you glean anything out of their comments on DeepSeek's innovation? Many of the mag 7 are reporting in the next 8 business days, which would be the most important regarding the data centre craze? Lastly, your favorite predictive question - buy, hold or reduce?

Thx again for your service.

Q: I have the above tech stocks sitting at just over 30% weighting in portfolio. Could you please rank them as to which you might sell first. I sadly sold Crowdstrike last summer when they had their issues and I am thinking I need a cybersecurity stock. Would you buy Crowdstrike or Palo Alto or half of both. Also, What do you think about Saleforce? With the thought of cheaper AI, is that one that would possibly benefit and how where would it rank within my aboce tech stocks? Thanks for all your help. With all your advice, last year was awesome and still up this year following yesterday’s falloff.

Q: What are the implications of DeepSeek - if proven, aside from loss of prestige? Loss of business/ product, fewer facilities, support capacity reduction, and so on? You likely already have questions on this topic. Appreciate your view.

Q: ARES vs. APO:

APO's P/E ratio (18.6) is significantly lower than ARES's (90). Is there a reason for this discrepancy? Which one is a better buy?

In the past three years, both stocks have surged nearly 300%, marking a substantial increase. Any comments or insights on this?

Thanks.

Q: Amazon's decision to close operations in Quebec and lay off workers disappoints me. I wish to sell it and find some alternatives. I already own Costco. Coincidentally Astrazeneca announced Canadian expansion plans. What do you think of their stock?

Q: Hi !

Graceful if you would provide your views on IBKR now.

Its price has now doubled in less than a year and it seems to have positive momentum.

Would you let that particular winner run or add to it or reduce ?

Which are, in order, your favorites for growth in that sector ? And, what about an etf ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
