Q: Hello Peter and Team,

I am looking at turning over a portion of my portfolio and rotating into AI infrastructure. With the growth we're seeing increased power consumption, micro data centers, advanced cooling, specialized power distribution, and a supply shortfall are all going to be very relevant in the coming years with the AI capacity rising so fast.

My questions;
1. Has there been a market sector specifically dedicated to AI? Or is it just grouped into IT?
2. I know you mentioned TransAlta Corp in your recent "Best Stock Ideas. What other companies do you think we should be looking at moving forward?
3. Are you looking to have more focus on this sector for the Model Portfolios and if so, which companies are you looking at for growth and for income?

Appreciate all you do

gm

ps,... Thank you for 5N Plus, Kraken & Tantalus

Q: After recent news/earnings and along the thinking that AI will not completely replace SAAS but work along side it and even provide positive tailwinds, do you think its time to rotate a bit more from hardware to software or proceed with caution still? I hold CLS, NVDA, NBIS, VRT in hardware and CSU,LMN,TOI,SPOT, SHOP,CRWD,BKNG,TRI in software. Also own GOOG. I'm trying to find the right balance. If we look at SOXX/IGV, are we going to see mean reversion back to the mean?

Also what part of the market or credit cycle do you think we are in? Mid to late cycle? Should we be more defensive or still slowly adding to growth names? Thanks!

Q: I have small 'starter' positions in these stocks , all still in the black with the exception of smallish losses in GLXY and KTOS, Most are in non-registered accounts. I have some spare cash and would like to increase position sizes. Are there any that you would add to at this time or would you continue to keep your powder dry for now ? Also, are there any that you feel should be let go ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: If you believe that the AI bubble will burst this year how might you position your portfolio to profit? I imagine picking defensive names, not owning companies with direct AI exposure, and owning precious metals is a start. If the bubble burst I would assume this would trigger a broader market selloff so not sure if there is a lot of places to hide. Would you consider any Put option strategies? Are there any other sectors/companies that would actually benefit from the bubble bursting? Thanks
