Q: Recently, the tech market has been booming. During this period, I bought several volatile, high-flying stocks to capture the thrill of the momentum. Each position is relatively small—only about 0.5% to 1% of my portfolio. Despite that, they’re performing exceptionally well. I purchased them less than a few weeks ago, and I’m already seeing a total gain of around 20%.

My question is: are these stocks worth holding for the long term? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, could you rank the potential and strength of these six companies: CoreWeave, Galaxy, Circle, Bitmine, Monday.com, and AST SpaceMobile? Thank you.

Q: Can I get your updated view and opinion on SBET. I have a small position and down 15% and would like to add more. Already own a good sized position in GLXY which has done very well. I understand the volatility and risks in crypto. Can you comment on this recent news of SBET increasing their share offering and also the plan of tokenizing their stock. Do you see this as positive news and do you see more upside in ETH going forward? Also I think before you mentioned you favor SBET over BMNR, is that still the case today? Thank you!

Q: I have a glass half-full CSU question.

The valuation of CSU has compressed due to concerns about AI and CEO departure for health reasons. What about the valuation of the thousands of smaller companies that CSU targets for acquisition? Will these much smaller companies undergo even greater AI related valuation compression, and offer truly excellent, perhaps generational, opportunities for CSU to acquire? I would think that if small software companies are worried about loosing to AI, it would become a buyers market and CSU could selectively capitalize on the opportunity.

Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: CSU has faced investor concerns recently, primarily due to the CEO’s resignation and rising competition in the AI space. However, I noted that two senior insiders purchased over $1 million worth of shares during the September decline. That typically signals confidence in the company’s fundamentals.

While AI competition is a valid concern, it may not be as disruptive as initially anticipated. The stock rebounded yesterday following the news, and I’ve initiated a position by acquiring one-third of my intended allocation.

Would be interested to hear your perspective on CSU’s outlook. Thanks.

Q: Since 2021 COW has moved sideways. Do you see any growth in the next 5 years ? What purpose would it perform in a portfolio (growth, income, defence, etc.). As an alternative, can you recommend a few leading companies in the agricultural space at a reasonable entry point, their leadership role and their purpose in a portfolio for the next 5 years.

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.

Q: SHOP announced yesterday a collaboration with AI. Stock bounced up on the news. How big a deal is this? What impact on the price might it have? Is this something that analysts weren't considering and is new news? Now, for you crystal ball look, what might the stock price be in 6 and 12 months?

Q: Are you comfortable buying PNG at current price? If not, what would be your target to buy? Looking to start a position.

There has been a couple questions lately regarding GSY and PRL. In one question, you answer PRL over GSY. And then the next day, you indicate GSY over PRL. Which do you consider a better buy for growth, and why? I think also you mentioned there was going to be a follow up report on PRL. Is that still the case?

Thanks!

Q: 1. Could you please provide the link to the blog you recently wrote about CSU.
2. Looking at historical data, CSU was trading at a lower P/E a few years back and more recently hit 120 - double the historical standard of a few years back (prior to 2021). In fact, back in late 2021 the P/E of CSU hit approximately 120, only to return to its historical standard (before starting this new leg up). Is it possible that the stock is resetting itself? A P/E of 120 is fairly high for most companies and it still trades in mid 80s even after this recent drop. Thoughts? Does CSU deserve a P/E of about 120? I am trying to decide if I should add to this stock OR wait a little longer. Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on how overvalued AI stocks are and what factors we should be concerned about that could cause the bubble to burst?

What are some good ideas for relatively safe stocks and etfs to hedge against a AI and tech weighted portfolio?
