Q: Good Day,
I'm a current holder of NVDA. These other names are down 30 - 50%, and IF one were to want to add another of these, what order would you rank them, highest to lowest? Can you please comment a bit on each one including a good price target to buy at, expected growth rates, and, as much as your crystal ball can predict Agent Orange, How much more downside would you anticipate in this space this year? Will solid performing companies eventually just perform their way out of these dips in spite of him? Or will multiple compression from uncertainty continue to plague the markets until he's out of office/gets reined in?
Secondly, on the broader market, with next weeks tarriffs looming, would you trim a few positions, even if they were on position sizes that matched your size/risk profile, to have some extra powder dry for the anticipated overreaction? It feels like so much uncertainty is "priced in", but most things still drive lower when the event that was priced in happens.

Q: Good evening,
I am wondering if you have any possible suggestions regarding companies that focus predominately in the application layer or operate full-stack models of AI.
The reason why I am asking this is because of an article entitled: "AI's revolution is just beginning" in Sunday's Globe and Mail. Sadly, there are a few parts that I don't fully comprehend which unfortunately prevents me from investigating more fully. A starting point would be great!
Take a peek to the article as it draws parallels to the dot com/internet crash of the 2000s.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I may begin to investigate.
Conversely, state any points you think should be taken with a grain of salt!
Thanks!
Arturo

Q: Hi team,
The rumors about Intel being broken up and sold to Broadcom and TSMC (may be) seems to be on again! Will it stick this time? Internet rumors are flying high! I saw one figure of upto 47$! (Reddit) Though mostly around 30$.
Some say this is not going to fly. No foreign ownership of US chips!! Trump is the President BTW:)
If I were to write covered call, how high would you suggest that I go?
Any thoughts or opinions?

Q: Good morning 5i,
I'm expecting some turbulence coming for sure. I doubt all is priced in with the tariff battle. Of course nobody knows. But opportunity may be knocking.
I refreshed myself on Peter's cover call write up from years past. I'd love a new take on selling covered calls to enhance your income and some strategies relating to it. ie, OTM, time frame etc.
And some top stocks in your view for writing on. Excluding NVDA, already sell OTC cc on my position.
Thank you very much.

Q: Would you sell the above stocks in light of Trump winning the election? Any others often cited positively that should be included?
Q: Since long time I refrained myself to buy this company due too the dangerous conflictual situation between USA and China about Taïwan. How do you asses the risks of an investor who buys now share of this enterprise in a 2-3 years horizon ?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
Q: On Sept 19 I asked the maximum weight YOU would be comfortable holding VRT and you answered 3.5%. Today you responded to Maureen with 5% weight.
What changed in the last 3-4 weeks for you to be more comfortable with a higher weight in VRT now?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Curious why Tiny has been falling over the past month?
Also have some INTC shares from long ago, I would hate to sell at the bottom, but wondering if it is time to move on to something else - any recommendations?
Thank you.
