Q: Could you provide a quick explanation of what happened to CXR?

When I was young and foolish (still currently foolish, just a little older), I loaded up about 1/3 of my portfolio about half way down from it's peak, only to watch it pretty much lose 100% from there (always the optimist....thought it might rebound). I know (think) debt did them in, but what else happened. What were the red flags that surely the stock would've shown? What are the differences between them and other companies that take on debt?

Q: Help with Business 101 please. It seems counter intuitive that Nvidia is altering their chips so they’re less desirable for mining crypto currency? I understand crypto is a volatile market and Nvidia previously got caught with too much supply. But overall if 2 customers are willing to pay the same for a product, why would the company show a preference towards one buyer over another?
Also, regarding the chip shortage, I thought Nvidia produced chips but it sounds like they’ll be caught up in the shortage. What type of companies will benefit from the chip shortage if any? Thank you for providing this valuable service!

Q: I hold full positions in both WELL (growth portfolio) and PKI (balanced portfolio). Wonder about overweighting these two positions by adding to them as WELL seems to have near term upside and PKI as a reopening recovery that is still appears to be reasonably priced. The additions would be like 50% of the target weighting. Also I'm prepared to hold for the longer-term, like 5 years. Does this make sense or are there better opportunities? .......Thanks for the insights.......Tom

Q: I am reading "Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading" by Stefan Janson. It states that algorithmic trading in '19 accounted for 35% of institutional trading (excluding HFT) that is increasingly dominated by ML driven systems (Rebellion Research, Sentient, Aidyia,..) and of course we all know about Renaissance.
I am curious about any comment you might have on that topic, do you see value in this for your style of trading and maybe even considered using it. Your results are already spectacular, so my question is driven only by intellectual curiosity.
