Investment Q&A

Q: Peter; Dell has dropped about $20.00 in a week or so. Is this just a reflection of the tech sell off or something related to outlook? Would you step in here - slowly? Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon 5l
Nvidia seems to be pivoting to AI factories, as they call them. Could you provide a few names of companies which will likely profit from this turn? Perhaps also with a brief description of why you find them interesting.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
What is your current opinion and outlook for Dell, given Nvda results. How comfortable would you be holding going into earnings today? Are they expected to meet their estimates or is it essentially a coin toss? They seem to be on a continued downward path.
Are Dell and HPQ considered similar ?

Would 5I have any interest in Dell at current prices?
Thx

Q: I am looking for stocks that have not come back up since the tariff announcements but have the potential. A couple I am thinking about are Fiserv, Inc. (FI) and Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL). Comments and any other suggestions please.

Could you rank the above you think are the most attractive growth prospects with least risk?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I have some cash that I would like to put to work and I have small positions that I would like to reduce. My main objective is growth with a bias towards low beta equities at this time in my work life. I am about 4 years away from my planned retirement.

These are most of my held equities along with weightings. NVDA 13.3% CSU 6.4% BN 6.4% SAN 5.4% SHOP 4.8% CRWD 4.3% TOI 3.8% VRT 3.4% ENB 3.2% BIP-UN 2.6% BEP-UN 2.3%. The following are 1-2% positions 13.5% as group; COST TD ATZ BNS AMZN TTD PANW PRL BRK.B. The rest are< 1%/each approx 10% as group BCE ASML HPS-A TMDX ISRG TMO GSY ASPN DELL SNOW NXT.

I plan on continuing to hold most of these positions including the smaller positions (<2% positions). I would like to reduce the number of these smaller holdings.
Could you please rank these smaller positions with the keepers at one end of the spectrum to goers at the the opposite end of the spectrum.

Thanks for this.

Q: Who are competitors to SMCI, and which one would benefit most in long term from the tanking of SMCI so I can initiate a position today? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i

Q: Hello 5i:
I want to add to my AI exposure with a 3 – 5 year horizon.
I already have sufficient TSLA and AAPL, and moderate positions in NVDA and MSFT, and a starting position in PLTR.
What would be your choice(s) for adding to any of these, and/or starting new positions such as AVGO, DELL , TSM, or others? I have avoided GOOG due to possible breakup legislation.
Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: Hi gang,
Can you suggest me ntnx or net? What would be a safer bet. ? Who are their competitors?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Good Morning
Setting aside the results, clearly they were good, but just focusing on market expectations and future returns, would you initiate a position in NVIDIA today? What other themes for AI would you look at going forward?
Thank you

Q: I’ve heard that data centre spending between now and 2030 will fall into three buckets: CPUs, Ai accelerators, and infrastructure, where CPUs are the slowest growing segment. Do you agree with that framework, and if so, could you briefly explain the difference between these three areas and recommend the best companies in each? Thank you.

Q: These companies are often discussed as rivals. In light of SMCI’s results, what do you think of the prospects for HPE and DELL in relation to SMCI? If you had to rank them, which ones get the gold, silver and bronze?

Q: On a scale from 1 to 10, what number would you assign the following eight stocks where 10 represents the most upside and 1 the least, and what letter grade would you give them where an A represents the least risk and an F the most?

Q: How would you rank the following Ai-related companies (best first) with an outlook of at least a year or two?

VRT, SMCI, DELL, ANET, MU, MRVL, AMAT, QCOM, AVGO, IFNNY, ON, TEAM
