Q: I thought I would wait till NVDA reported to ask my question. I bought a position SMCI (25) shares in the the mid $6's thinking this would be a short-term momentum play. Now I'm thinking, do I stay the course for 1-2 years and ride this volatile stock even longer? Your thoughts please. Thank you David

Long term price performance looks very good and it seem like a good valuation to me. Do you seen any red flags? Any comments would be appreciated because it seems like a good 2% position to have in a TFSA. Thanks

Q: I read a more detailed US legal article on the TD money laundering scandal in NY/NJ and was quite disturbed. It has been a core holding of mine for a full decade. Thinking of taking it down from a full to a half position while the DOJ probe and further sanctions play out. Would you caution against this at this time (with damage already done to stock) or do you think its a prudent move?

Q: Hi,
I'm just reading about Gates joining Buffett in selling what seems to me to be a large amount of the above noted stocks, and I'm wondering if you've any thoughts on it. Is this typical for these two powerhouse guys to do this every once in a while, or might this time be different? Given the political situation in the US and other, global issues, I have to wonder if they are in a better position than most to have insight on something. I realize this is a speculative question, but would still value your opinion - many thanks!
