Q: Hi 5i Team - For Cellebrite, Nebius and Crowdstrike could you comment on what portion of each company is based on AI. Could you also comment on whether their AI involvement is semi-conductor, software or service/support related. Thirdly what is the ability of each to withstand an extended market downturn if this present sell-off continues and would you be a buyer at these levels. Thank you.

Q: Could I please get an update on the potential for Autodesk? I have held it for years as a cornerstone in my portfolio, but the stock price has essentially done nothing. The company has transitioned to a cloud-based subscription business and changed some billing practices. It is now changing its third-party transaction model and doing a restructuring. I think the SEC investigation is still ongoing (and a lawsuit) and am not sure how big this could be. It sounds like Trump has paused the big US infrastructure bill but still plans to spend lots on construction and infrastructure. Could this be the year Autodesk finally takes off?

Q: Hello. David Rosenberg’s latest per a Globe article today:

“Best to hide in cash, bonds (Treasuries, Ginnie Mae mortgages, high-quality corporates), gold and the miners (silver too), defensive bond-proxies in the stock market that have decent yields and consistent dividend payout growth (stable dividend stocks are up +5% year-to-date), Japanese money market funds (ride the most undervalued currency on the planet and a BoJ set to raise short-term interest rates sooner rather than later), and diversify into the European Defense and Capital Goods sectors which now have more fiscal-related visibility.”

Can you provide some specific ideas (stocks and or ETFs) that match up with his recommended areas to ride this out?

Thanks!

Q: Assuming the current selloff continues, VIX goes up to 35+, and recession is almost certain in the US. Regardless of sector, what US/CAD stocks YOU would buy for capital appreciation if you have CAD$ 100,000? YOU plan to hold these stocks more than 3 years and you believe these companies will survive the economic downturn no matter how hard it will be.
