Q: How would you rate these for holding in the SMID Growth section of a portfolio (A couple may not be SMID, which means they just may not be forever keepers for me) - I hold all except SNPS and NOW, which I've been watching, and I’m thinking of consolidating into 6-8 positions, but could keep more. I'm considering 3-4 for shorter-term growth, 1-3 years, 3-4 for longer-term growth, 5-10 years. Please order from most conviction to least with a preference to Shorter (S) or longer(L) or either (E). Thanks!
SNPS, NOW, GLXY, KSI, FOUR, ROAD, CLBT, CRM, HPS.A, VHI, GENI, SRAD

Q: Hi there. Looking for an update on POWL. I note that you seemed to have a favourable opinion in early February and the PE has come down since then given the market. What further downside might you expect or do you think it has found a floor? What does it need as a catalyst to move back up? Finally, POWL or HPS.A or 1/2 of each?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you name a few companies that service AI data centres in a structural way such as construction, maintenance/repairs, cooling, etc. Also a few companies that provide the power needed to run these centres. These would be stocks that have good growth ahead of them. Any market cap is fine but at least one small cap and a couple of mid caps. Also a combination of U.S. and Canadian companies.
Thanks.

Q: Hi, holding a few of these losers now in my non registered accounts - they were nice winners just a short time ago. What are the best proxies for these as a tax loss strategy? If my holding is CAD and the proxy is US, should I convert CAD funds to buy US or avoid these situations? Also, at what $ or price % loss would you consider doing these tax loss trades? Thanks!

Q: One would think that CLS, HPS.A and VRT would be screaming buys if Trump said "just kidding" and ended his tariff war tomorrow. But I wonder if this is true. What are the chances that AI/data centre stocks were in a bubble and all it needed to burst was a new low energy search engine like DeepSeek? Is it possible that the wider market chaos is just masking an inevitable re-pricing of AI and data centre stocks? If so, the current lower price for these stocks may not be the screaming buy they might appear to be.
