Investment Q&A

Q: Would you buy XYZ at this price $50 for maybe a 1 year hold as a trade?

Q: APP is up13% after earnings but still down significantly from its highs. Would you be a buyer today?

Q: Based on your last comments on Tantalus Systems (GRID) can you comment on yesterday’s earnings release. It looks great from what I see but I’ll leave the professional analysis to you guys. Based on your last comments is insider ownership the same? Is management doing a great job? Can you also comment on their 3rd Annual Utility of the Future report they posted at a the end of April please. Lastly can you update me in the Conguitive acquisition.

Feel free to answer after their conference call.

Q: What would your two favorite REIT’s be to invest in at this time?

Q: What's up with LLY? Was it the Wegovy sales from a competitor? Leadership changes? Is this little dip one to buy? Your thoughts?

Q: Can I get your current thoughts and outlook on Fortinet

Q: Can I please have your latest thoughts on TradeWeb in today’s environment? It had a big drop earlier in April but has almost regained its momentum since then. Is the valuation stretched at this point? Thanks for your valued opinion.

Q: Hi, could you comment on ANET's earnings, which I understood were about 10% ahead of estimates per share, and 2% or so more revenue. The stock appears to have taken a hit today on the report, so were there negative comments from the management on forward guidance? Something else I missed in the numbers?
Thanks!

Q: What sector would you consider GENI to be in? The profile says "media", but this doesn't quite line up to a list I typically use (Telecom, Utilities, Materials, Industrials, Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financial, Energy, Health Care, Information Technology). Do I just need to update my list, or should I fit it in something like Technology?

Q: Hi, I've read in Barron's that Crowdstrike will be laying off 500 staff, replacing them with AI. While obviously difficult for those laid off, I am wondering about the overall impact on CRWD, as I have noted today's negative reaction to the news. Your thoughts and comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I am looking to own some of, this but today the stock price is getting obliterated after earnings. They have purchased a few strategic companies... one could say " investing in future growth." Why so harsh? Do you think the acquisitions will look solid in a year from now? This is a hard company to understand.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give your opinion about their Quarterly Report.
What does their future look like? Thank you!

Thank you as always

Q: Wondering your thots on buying Berkshire B currently in view of how strong the stock price has been and if u would buy what level u wud be comfortable paying.

If a third of the company is Cash n one is paying something around 1.6 Book it is expensive Cash at today’s levels .. understandably one is buying management’s ability to deploy that Cash.


Over the past years what range of multiples has BRK.B traded at vs today’s comparable multiples?

Q: Can you please give the breakdown of revenue to show the portion from the search engine. I understand that Google has and is spending a lot on AI but personally I have not felt their search function to change much, if at all. Whereas the new search engines like Perplexity really illustrate how much more can be done to answer queries. Am also wondering if Google is going to stun the world with new search features, or if its bogged down in technical bureaucracy or something in between. It appears not to be nimble in its response to AI market demand. Thank you for your views.

Q: Are you considering this recent drop in GOOG today a buying opportunity for the long term?You mentioned in a previous question that the news today is not new n’or great for the company.. Would you pounce on this opportunity or wait it out?

Thanks again

Thanks

1. Comment on the reasons for market underperformance in this sector

2. Are any of these must owns ? (I know BN is a favourite of your’s, I own a 3% position)

4. if I wanted to increase my exposure to financial (I am underweight financials, and moreso on the US side), would you look to topping Brookfield or adding a second name?

Karim.
