Q: I loved this recent question from Giovanni, big kudos to him and his son for taking the fantastic suggestions from 5i, and GIANT HIGH 5 to 5i team!
So to ask the same question today, my 30ish daughter has about 45k cash in TFSA. Also has some NTDOY, DIS ZQQ and ZEB. Ok with ETFs but I don't think there is as good a chance for towering home runs like NVDA.
Let's grow!

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: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: NBIS market cap is much lower than CRWV yet NIBS has more offerings in autonomous driving, robotics, training etc. It was nice to see the recent GS price target of $68.

Do you see a pathway for NBIS market cap to expand further as they continue to execute and get discovered?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

The earnings season is about to begin! VRT on 23/07 and NBIS on 31/07. I know you don't like to buy something purely based on one quarter's earnings. But if one needs to add to an existing VRT position, is it prudent to wait or add now? I have no position in NBIS. Should one buy now or wait till the earnings or out? The main reason I am asking is NOT to time the market but to avoid that free fall that sometimes these earnings bring on! Seem to be more unpredictable nowadays than ever before!

Q: I'm thinking that we are still in early innings of the AI / Data Centre / Power Consumption game. Assuming that to be true, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to capitalize on this opportunity. So, what are the top 3 to 5 sectors & their companies you would curate in a portfolio to "win" this series over the long term and why? I would appreciate your valuable insight once again. Thank you.
