Q: Hi,
Kicking myself in the butt for not buying SMCI a few months back after humming and hawing about it. I guess because I have a large NVDA and GOOG position already so didn’t want too much AI exposure.

For some of these names that have run hard over the last 3-6 months, would you add or initiate new positions? I own NVDA, HPS.A and TVK and have nice gains but want to slightly add for long term. I’m reluctant now to buy these new daily highs in SMCI and VRT, afraid of a sharp pullback. How would you proceed? For all the stocks mentioned, what inning do you think we’re in for each? Still long runways? And I know it’s hard, but what would be good price targets to buy if they pulled back? Thanks!

Q: I need to sell my PDYPF shares but there is no hurry at all. Would you wait until the FanDuel spinout or would you sell now. In other words is the spinout likely to significantly increase the price enough for me to wait. Just your best guess. Thanks.

Q: I got a call back from BMO Investorline as a follow up to my questions last week. I think I now have the answers and want to share them. The PDYPF are not ADRs and he did not see a need to do anything immediately. I can have the shares converted to FLUT on the NYSE but there is a 1% "stamp" tax ($608 for me) plus to sell I would pay the standard $10 commission and would then have to do Norbert's Gambit to convert to CAD or pay their conversion fees. If I sell the shares on the LSE I would pay slightly over $280 commission plus two fees/taxes totaling 0.6% and have to pay the conversion from sterling to CAD. I'm glad I have a good profit on these shares because that sure adds up. I both cases slightly over 1% of the value. I hope this information helps others.

Q: I'm hoping you can give your thoughts on these as well as rank these potential AI companies for a 5 year hold.

EPAM; GLOB; C3AI; PERI; UPST; PLTR; SNOW; CAN; VRT

Q: Is this company now an attractive takeover candidate??
Thx

Q: I have owned KXS for several years and although I am not unhappy with its performance it is rather volatile. DSG which is in a similar business seems to experience more price stability. I am ok with volatility and tend to hold equities for the long term. Using long-term growth prospects and current valuations as a guideline would you favor one over the other to any great extent? Taxes are not an issue so I could easily switch to DSG if the metrics suggest this is the better stock.

Appreciate your insight.
