Q: First, thx for your earlier answer to my questions on Nvidia. I forgot to include a few other questions.

If appears as though DeepSeek might make AI more ubiquitous as the cost of using it would be cheaper. Wouldn't this create more demand for GPUs? I imagine more hardware players will enter thereby creating more competition thus dropping Nvidia's enormous margins. What are the current forward looking numbers? There obviously will be compression, so what do see as potential valuation if this occurs. Lastly, have moved on from the hardware companies to more of the hyperscalers and other downstream companies? Could you list a few safer companies for the last two categories?

Thx

Q: Good morning 5i,

VRT obviously the onslaught has continued. I'm viewing this as a potential add. Looking over their revenue, profitability etc.

Despite deepseek and all other noise. Would you wait to see a potential turn or be comfortable adding in this range?

Or do you see a more inherent risk than I?

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: I have the above tech stocks sitting at just over 30% weighting in portfolio. Could you please rank them as to which you might sell first. I sadly sold Crowdstrike last summer when they had their issues and I am thinking I need a cybersecurity stock. Would you buy Crowdstrike or Palo Alto or half of both. Also, What do you think about Saleforce? With the thought of cheaper AI, is that one that would possibly benefit and how where would it rank within my aboce tech stocks? Thanks for all your help. With all your advice, last year was awesome and still up this year following yesterday’s falloff.
