Q: Opinions on these two companies. Looks like Intel created a foundry division in which Cadence will be assisting Intel with designing and producing new chips. From my reading Microsoft is also involved and wondering if this may be a strategy to decrease reliance on Taiwan semiconductor and increase "home grown" chip manufacturing.
Do you think Intel can find some momentum from the AI surge and this strategy?
Is Cadence a viable way to get involved in the "back door" of the AI surge? Do you have other preferences that provide the same services?
Thank you.

Q: I am wondering what Canadian companies are poised to benefit from an increase in spending on armaments by Western governments, in response to rising tensions across the world. Mining stocks could be of interest, but I'm mainly wondering about manufacturing companies.

Q: I do wonder if you could comment on the recent news releases in regard to Cadance and Intel foundry systems. I just started researching this and am going to admit a lot of this is over my head and comprehension. From my initial readings it looks like Microsoft has joined in on this as well, so looks like Intel, Cadence and Microsoft are in an initiative in the AI space. Is there a possibility that Intel may get some legs in this AI surge as well? The share price of this stock has certainly not soared like others in this sector. Wondering if the Microsoft relationship will have some impact on the future performance of Intel?
Could this be a way for Microsoft to lessen it's dependence on NVDA?

Q: Thank you for the great webinar on Tuesday. I found it very interesting with some interesting picks.
One of those ideas as NXT. The main question I had was why is NXT has been increasing in share price despite just about every other solar company I can think of (CSIQ, ENPH, FSLR, SEDG) in the toilet. What makes it different? Why is NXT moving in the opposite direction in comparison to the rest of the sector?

Q: Hi,
Let’s say I want to (re) buy a looser stock during the year. Are there any periods that would be more favorable?
Quarters’end, triple witching days, seasonality for the sector ?
I try to avoid January and earnings period. But I found bargains from mid-October thru-December.
I guess this is not part of your philosophy but I'm curious.

Thanks and great week-end.

Q: "History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes". Does the AI/tech surge remind Peter of anything in the markets before in history? If so, how does it all end?

Q: Good morning, Looking at the chart of GDX the last 5 yrs the ETF reached yrly highs on Aug 6,2020, May 18,2021, April 18,2022. Those dates matched the highs in gold price and the gold stocks. So the price of gold , the miners stock price, and the GDX moved together until 2022. Since then the GDX is moving in opposite direction to the other two and reached a new low last week when gold is at an all time high for the last 3 months. Can you explain ? It appears that the GDX is sold short daily and keeping the gold miners stock prices down artificially .??
Thanks, George
