Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Please provide you input on the pros and cons on the difference between ETF bonds, such as RQQ, with maturity dates, vs ETF bonds, such as VAB and/or XLB, with no maturity dates. Instead of investing in GICs, which you are locked in for a period, RQQ can be bought and sold when the market opens, making it seems to be almost as good as GIC.
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: I was wondering if there were any good AI, like ChatGPT, that we can use to analyze official financial statement releases from companies. I tried on ChatGPT, and it seems to use some kind of “tools”. I wonder if the results I would get come directly from the financial statements themselves, or from commentary on them.

Any guidance on this would be great!

Q: What is your take on holding GOOG going forward, in light of a number of big name fund managers (Ackman,Klarman,Dorsey etc) exiting or largely decreasing their positions in the company? We know its related to the talks of breaking up GOOG. But what do you feel is the likelihood and outcome of that for shareholders? Clearly these managers feel its going to be a negative outcome since they are exiting. Wondering what your outlook is, and if its worth holding throughout the pain. Thx

Q: I am wondering about protecting myself from downward moves of NVDA price based on earnings results and news next week. My strategy so far is limited selling as the stock has ramped up beyond any "normal" I have seen.
Of course the dichotomy is:
- Fear that the bubble / AI hype will fizzle and my paper gains never materialize, and;
- Trepidation that I will regret selling another single share if NVDA's future stays bright.

So would options be a way to play this or is this quite expensive? It appears that ATM puts are $7.00 for AUG30. A full 5% premium to protect downside. Crazy? Other Thoughts? Thanks as always - you guys are amazing.

Q: Hi 5i!

I’m a little overweight in the AI sector and want to diversify. Respecting that growth and stability are not often in tandem, would you endorse a selling VRT and buying TMDX, ASPN or CLBT?
Do you see either of these three companies as having a better growth (and some stability) outlook over the next 2-3 years than VRT?

If you could only pick one which company do you have the most conviction in today?

Thanks so much for all you do!
