CRWD/PANW,TSM,ISRG,NVDA,LLY,UNH,COST

Q: Hello,
Which do you see having more upside over the next 5 years, NVDA or GOOG?
Thanks as always.

Q: Good morning,

My question is on Circular Deals in AI investments:

Circular deals involve investment money flowing between companies that also buy from or sell to one another.
"A series of agreements negotiated among a small number of players in the artificial intelligence (AI) field is raising concerns about the potential risks of so-called circular deals." https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/dealmaking-daily/what-are-circular-deals/
Recently, OpenAI and NVDA reached a deal where OpenAI would receive up to $100 billion in investments from NVDA. This could be viewed as a circular deal, as OpenAI is likely to buy gear from NVDA, which will reinvest those profits in OpenAI, creating a cycle.
What are your thoughts on circular deals? In my view, such a deal could artificially inflate NVDA's revenues, potentially leading to a correction in the valuation of the companies involved. Is this practice proper or legitimate? These deals aren't only between these two companies, it appears to be widespread.

Thanks. I appreciate your all the videos that you provide: The Exponent, Monthly Rollup etc.
Seasons Greetings.

Q: Do you have any information on the impact Nvidia's share repurchases are making on the float or the comany's PE? Have they cancelled a significant % of shares? Is repurchase accelerating in any visible way with the current "pause" in share price increase? Thanks!

Q: NDVA's price as of today $181.46
NCDA's fair value given by Morningstar $191.38
Given NVDA's incredible run in the past few years, I have a hard time wrapping my brain about the idea that NVDA is actually "cheaper" than its fair value.
Would you add to NVDA at this point?
I have a significant position in NVDA already so I am very invested.

Q: Can you elaborate a bit on your philosophy “Letting Winners ride”? Very difficult to do so when consistently managing position sizing. I own companies you have serious conviction in (BN, CSU, CLS, GOOG) that are becoming larger allocations in my portfolio. They feel like “Winners”, so why trim?

Can you provide an example or two that you personally have let winners run? And maybe a reason why you chose not to trim?

Thank you

Q: Michael Burry ( of The Big Short fame) has recently attracted much attention over his analysis and commentary on some the major AI companies. I was wondering whether you had conducted any review of his rationale and reasoning around his positioning

Q: What U.S. companies would you recommend for a US $ TFSA ?

Q: Looking to add an AI stock in the next month or so to my TFSA. Is Nvidia a good one to hold for a time and if not then who?

Thanks for the service.

Q: Hi everyone at 5i thank you all for the great information love this service. So from an analytics point of view I am overweight tech and under weight industrials. Given the recent pull back is this a “good“ switch? This is in a registered account so no tax implications. I’m not that good at charts but it looks like there is some support at $500 for AXON? The other tech stocks I have are NVDA, SHOP, AAPL, CSU, LMN, TOI, of these CRWD is the worst performer only because of the date of acquiring it. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again for all your help.

Q: NVDA down 5% more this morning. From 212$ down to 172$ this morning. Other chip stocks are moving up steady past weeks specially AVGO. Not the darling anymore. Competition taking over?

Q: Hi,
Seeing the drop in NVDA makes me wonder if the talk that Meta is considering buying chips from GOOGL would really reduce NVDA's value this much? If you could weigh in with any comments and thoughts you have regarding this mornings drop I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!

Q: The mag 7 have been issuing bonds to pay for their AI.

Are these a good buy? Are they available to retail investors? Are there easy ways to buy them? An etf perhaps?
thanks

Q: Thank you for the excellent market update comparing the AI boom to history. What are the top 'capex-light' companies that you feel may participate in the AI boom?

Q: Markets are acting pretty badly with most of AI in retreat. Even growth names like NFLX and SpOT are very weak. What would you recommend for investors who have a medium risk tolerance. Sign me Concerned

Q: Would you recommend taking a small position in AI at this point, and if so what would be your first choice in a stock and/or ETF?

Q: While Nvidia results look good, a Globe and Mail article about the results quoted two commentators who suggest that current AI spending is "unsustainable". Can you comment on the sustainability of AI spending? Thanks.

Q: Could you please share your thoughts about the recent NVDA earnings? What is your sentiment towards the AI/Chip sector after the release of their earnings?

Thanks!
