Investment Q&A

Q: With the the huge future revenues announced from Oracle yesterday what are some other companies in similar space or competitors that could also benefit?

Thx

Q: Oracle's outlook seems to have reverberated through adjacent companies with VRT, MOD, etc., etc., all popping. Ellison has made some pretty remarkable statements about expected growth over the next 4 years, and he does not appear, to me anyway, to be overselling.

My question is about three areas to look at:
1) Other cloud service providers.
2) The nuts and bolts builders of the data centers.
3) Companies in the electrical storage areas that might service the above.

However I have one main caveat, I am only interested in companies that have not had a 1,000% gain in the last 5 years. I know that might seem like a ridiculous criterion, but I keep imagining MOD or STRL investors running for the hills on a serious market pullback.

Thank-you again.

Q: I have owned MRVL since the early days of the tech growth story. I felt it would be one firm that could grow their business exponentially as the tech story evolved. That has not been the case.

I would appreciate your opinion on MRVL as a future growth story, or should it fail to hold up to scrutiny, what 2 firms would fit my involvement in the story (if any). I hold NVDA, AMD, CLS, ASML, MSFT and PWR as representative of the buildout of the AI/Datacenter environment.

Thanks, as always, for your comments.

Q: If OpenAi decided to go public in the next few years with a Market Cap of 1-2 trillion dollars, do you think this would launch Microsoft’s stock price? I’m guessing their original investment in OpenAi has compounded several times over.
Thanks

Q: hi, dear team:

just sell pltr and have some cash, thinking about buy MSFT ,BN BAM, TLT OR GOOGLE at today price, hope can hear yours idea. try to buy and hold for long time .appreicate!

Q: I understand there is a new release of the popular game "Call of Duty".
I was assisting grandsons move onto a uni campus 2 weeks back and almost every student had a version of this game and a high-priced unit to play it on.
I now see the stock trading just under $170 US.
What can you tell me about EA as a possible investment ? Thanks david

Q: Any reason for the 10% increase in its price today?

Q: Hello Folks:
A quick question:
What are your thoughts on AI"s future price
affects on the big tech firms such as Apple, Microsoft,
Google, Navidia, CSU etc. We are considering purchasing
CSU although their PE frightens us?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Please comment on the NBIS deal with MSFT; looks pretty big.

Q: Hey everyone, I have a nice amount in my TFSA account. What I’m trying to do is grow the account over time, let’s say a 25yr time period as I don’t need the money. With your crystal ball in hand and a mindset of holding forever what twenty companies would you buy today? Companies can be anywhere in the world and be in any sector but they need to trade on a North American exchange. Appreciate you playing along.

Q: Hello Folks:
We currently own Microsoft, Navidia and Amazon in the tech. sector. You have confidence in both Google and Navidia.
Would you think it prudent to switch Amazon for Google AND/ OR CSU.
What are your thoughts of holding Google, Navidia and CSU as my three primary tech. investments, or do you have other suggestions.
Thank you for your clear analysis of the markets.

Q: Trump tariffs... impact on e commerce with non US countries. I see US analysts starting to reduce profit targets. I do hold the stock and I see 5i staff also hold the stock. What is your recommended course of action at this point... should I reduce my exposure? What would you do if you owned the stock? I do own GOOG and MSFT considering reducing my AMZN position and allocating it to MFST. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Your thoughts please on the Marvell earnings after hours Thursday? If it could be bought for $70 tomorrow would it be an add for you in a hypothetical portfolio with a 12 month window? Please provide a high level analysis and whether you rate it as a buy, sell or hold based on the results.

Q: Based on your last comments on SNOW, you said "...expensive and volatile, and expectations are very high. Thus, they perhaps need 'perfect' numbers to see substantial gains."

SNOW nWhat is your take on the earnings I'm assuming you're fine with it from what I'm reading all over the internet.

Can you explain more about the data modernization theme in software and the long term growth (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for Snowflake and has the hype from it's IPO days remained the same, ramp upped or been less muted ..... is this a future 10 bagger, will it be as successful as a Nvidia or Microsoft?

Who are its competitors? and should SNOW be worried about them longer term?

What has to keep working for this stock for it to keep growing in the next decade and what might stop it from rising?

oh and ps....what is the insider ownership looking like and is that a metric I should be looking at for this particular stock?

Thanks again, please take as many credits off as needed to answer.

Q: I don't know what to think of OKTA ? It jumped up in March to May and has been going down since. Do I keep it or invest the money elsewhere ? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

What are your thoughts on Fidelity Global Innovators ETF (FNN-T)?
Would you consider it a buy at the moment?

Are there any similar funds in the same category or style that you would recommend instead?

Thanks very much for your insights,

Jacques IDS

Q: In light of PLTR’s decline now can you think of other similar companies from the past that have come back and become market staples now…. Like an apple, Microsoft. Or an industrial or energy stock ? Or is PLTR such an anomaly that a more significant drop might be in the offing?

Q: These are my current holdings. Can you suggest 2 usa names to add to this list which might be complementary? I was thinking about NXT but it's jumped today. I would like to add two names that are not at 52 week highs but yet, are also "growthy." Maybe something that has pulled back irrationally like a NXT or UNH (prior to the big gains today). Thank you,

Jason
