Q: AAPL caused some stress for payment companies with their announcement re: getting more serious about the payments business some weeks ago. Do you think Amazon’s announcement re: “free wireless to Prime members” has a greater or lesser potential impact on VZ and AT&T?

Q: I have a small position in MDB and I'm uncertain to add to or just hold. After reviewing past answers I wonder if your views have changed. Are you more positive? Analyst reviews from Scotia McCloud are so so. To my eyes, the technicals look good - actually better than its peers. Does MDB have an advantage in the market? Would you prefer another company competitor with more torque? Thanks..........Lionel

Q: I compared the 6 month stock price performance of the following as Nasdaq stocks and as CDR's:: AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META, & NVDA
All stocks showed better returns on the Nasdaq.
than as CDR's probably due to currency fluctuation but I am puzzled by the huge discrepancy in the gains between the 2 exchanges. eg. AAPL & NVDA show a 25% higher gain - AMZN 12.4% - GOOG 16% - META 1.7%
Can you explain?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Took advantage of the 27% increase in NVDA today to reduce my holding to 5% and free up some cash. Looking for advice on how best to redeploy these funds. I already hold MSFT, GOOG and AMZN. I've been looking at AAPL, but am concerned about the geopolitics surrounding the company's manufacturing operations in China. Does this add a significant layer of uncertainty to investing in this company? Including AAPL, please provide a total of three names - in ranked order (best first) - where I could invest funds today. (Not sure if META would be one of them, but please exclude. Can't support the corporate ethos.) Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

This is more of a second order question - so nvda is clearly doing very well, where could we look for benefit on the supplier side, ie. the inputs for what they need for the AI?

Q: Everyone, I will be selling LSPD and need to buy another tech stock as a replacement. My present technology stocks are: AAPL, AMZN, CSU, MSFT, NVDA and SHOP. I have held those names for between 5 and 10 years. Do I add to the existing group above? Another name? I am NOT in favour of FB (can’t stand the CEO or the business). My preference is to add to SHOP because I am underweight that stock. Clayton

Q: I am interested in investing in companies that are leaders in developing AI. So far I have identified GOOG, MSFT, NVDA, and AMD. Do you agree with this list and are you able to add to it? I have seen AMZN, AAPL, IBM and META with regard to AI, but are they simply users of AI rather than developers?
Thank you.

Q: What is your opinion on this company? Are they in the midst of a turnaround? I read somewhere that the CEO has stock options that won't vest until the stock reaches 36 per share. Does this sound like motivation to get the house in order?

Thanks

Q: I currently hold MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, and GOOG. All are at a 5% weight, except for AMZN, which is at 3%. I have an additional 2% to invest. Would you suggest topping up AMZN to 5%...or purchasing another tech stock with the additional funds? If the latter, would you please provide three stocks ranked by both risk and potential profit...and explain why you have selected each? Thank you.
