Q: I have a 2%-or-so cash position that I had earmarked to buy AAPL, but I was wondering if it might make more sense to double my existing 2% position in CRWD. Alternatively, I could initiate a position in NVDA. Any thoughts?

Q: Apple just recorded a blowout quarter, over 50% growth. Looking at Apple's valuation, up to now, I felt it was overvalued given the low growth rate. Given that 5i typically recommends other tech stocks, perhaps you too shared this opinion. I was equally surprised by the market reaction, little share appreciation. So, was everyone expecting this? Why didn't I get the memo?

Thank you for everything you do.

Q: Based on your experience and the resources you have access to, do you care to give your educated and thoughtful guess on the following: IF Apple were to proceed with building smart cars, would you agree Apple is far more likely to contract with MGA than with any legacy automakers? In this context , let us define “far more likely” as a greater than sixty percent chance. If you place the chances significantly lower than that, would you not agree that MGA is now fully valued? Come now, perhaps even modestly over valued?
