Q: Crypto is up and the market is strong yet this one has performed poorly since they executed that big bitcoin sale. Am I being impatient or is there a reason to sell and move onto something that is performing better right now? I realize that the stock is up huge on the year - unfortunately I bought after the gain and am now a bag holder (down 13%). Thanks,

Jason

Q: Hi,
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think CRWV will fair on next weeks earnings. A lot of analysts seem to have it on 'hold' and I'm not sure that's just due to earnings being close, or lack of confidence in the stock.
Many thanks for all you're insight!

Q: Your current view on Astera Labs please following this recent quarter.

Q: Premium Brands Holdings (PBH) is part of 5i’s Balanced Portfolio. It reported today and appears to have met or slightly exceeded analyst range of estimates both on EPS and Revenues.

It has completed its sale and leaseback of its Tennessee Sandwich Plant, and used the proceeds to repay a $172 debenture that matured in April, slightly reducing its total debt to EBITDA to 4.2:1 from 4:6:1 for the quarter.

They have also posted a 6 page letter from the CEO to Shareholders entitled “The Future of Food is the Past”

It would be appreciated if you could review both the results and the letter; and provide your comments, as well as sentiment on the company/strategy.

Thank-you!

Q: I read an opinion piece in the Globe & Mail on July 25/25 titled "A billion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence is about to hit reality." The gist of the article was that companies are pouring billions of $'s into AI on the premise that it will "lift global GDP by trillions, create entirely new industries and transform how we work." That is to say, the underlying bet is that machines will eventually deliver what humans can’t: scale, speed and 24/7 output. The author believes that while there will be some benefit from AI, it will not be as big as people believe. He says, user results to date remain mixed. More than 80 per cent of businesses using AI technology are not yet seeing significant earnings gains, and most (new) AI deployments have a failure rate of up to 80 per cent. Yet, the spending keeps increasing even though results underwhelm. An MIT economist and Nobel Laureate Daron Acemoglu estimates AI may lift U.S. GDP by a mere 1.1 per cent to 1.6 per cent over a decade, translating to annual productivity gains of 0.05% (nowhere near the level implied by current valuations). If this opinion turns out to be true, I'm wondering if the (tech) market is setting itself up for a massive fall or correction down the road (not unlike the dot com bubble burst of 2000). I'm curious as to what 5i's view is?

Q: When asked about ranking companies for buying a few days before Thompson Reuter’s fall you ranked fairly low. Would that ranking change now wit it’s drop?

Q: I want to protect my gains and I want also to continue to be invested in this company. What kind of simple strategy you would suggest. To be clearest as possible, can you use the true digits of this company. It happen to me some times to buy call options in the past but I am far being an expert in options strategies.

Thank you very much in advance
