Q: Why is there such a valuation discrepancy between these two? SMCI requires NVDA chips to assemble their AI servers. NVDA growth seems to be being mirrored to a certain extent by SMCI, but the valuation gulf is huge. Aren't the two joined at the hip?

If an investor has $10K to spend today, which of these three stocks might you have more confidence in buying to (hopefully) realize a significant share price increase during the next 18 months? A brief explanation would be appreciated. Thank you. Brad

Q: In my previous question, I asked for recommendation for a few AI-related stocks. Your response to my question included a link to a page that contains individual AI-related stocks. I clicked on it, but the link didn't work because of an invalid url.

Would you please either provide the names in your reply or send me another link with a valid url.

Cheers,
H

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Above mentioned stocks I hold as a small percentage of my portfolio. Of course I am down now! However I have been using covered call strategy to "get paid whilst I wait"! So, I am happy to hold them for a few years.
The question I have is this. Are these good companies to hold for a few years? If not, would you suggest any alternatives? I see from your answers that you like FTNT/CRWD,PANW.

Thank you for your answer.
Mano.

Q: After reading your past replies to questions regarding STM, I wonder if you can update your opinion based on news and events since your replies in March and May? The price is higher now but have you also seen increased reasons for investors to look at this? Would it be a worthy buy today or something to wait on and buy only in the event of a pullback?

Assuming you like it, could you compare and contrast the risk and reward between this and something like SMCI? Which would you expect to do better and why?

Thanks

Q: QCOM is not expensive and their financials look OK but it has been going sideways for some time and has not participated in the most recent rally. Would you consider letting it go and can you suggest another US company with momentum?

Thank you,

Q: Hi,

To a question asked by Alexandra on June 26th, not even a month ago(!!) you felt 250 would be the next level of consolidation.( I am paraphrasing here)
It is 300 now. Would you like to hazard a guess how high this could go! I "get" the momentum factor, Ai phenomenon etc., Still this thing is mind boggling! Whee is it going to end?!

Q: Hi Peter and company,

Has there been any recent news or analyst upgrades to explain the incredible momentum for SMCI? The stock has basically taken off since Nvidia blow out earnings outlook. Are you concerned that the stock is coming in too hot before the upcoming earnings release, or is the stock still reasonable priced?

Thanks for the great service,
Angelo

Q: MF came out with a list of AI today, and they are all up today, presumably on the news. Is there a concern that this is turning into a bubble? I know there will be spending here, but is it getting away into the danger-zone? I am considering an etf that captures a wide swath of AI. Are you able to suggest something? Thanks!

Q: I very recently picked up a small starting position in SMCI at $235. Am waiting before adding anything further. I don't normally base decisions on technicals but would like your thoughts on what price level you think would be reasonable. It did gap up in May around $160. In your experience, would you expect the price to come down to fill this ? Any other comments would be appreciated.
