Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would like to get exposure to the semiconductor industry but am reluctant to buy NVDA because of its recent runup. I am considering SMH or SOXX. Do you have a better idea or would it be wise to stay on the sidelines for a while? This may not be relevant but I do hold Fortinet. Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: 1.We have a bit of a debate going on regarding the merits of shorting stocks and doing so when they have the kind of pop such as Nvda had last week.

If someone shorted $10,000 of Nvda at the close of business last Friday, how much would be lost as of the close of business today ( Thursday)?


2. AVGO Same type of situation: buy AVGO end of business yesterday….and loss as of today ( Friday ) close ?

Thanks.

How would that person minimize his loss ( other than by NOT shorting it in the first place )?


Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding CSU, TOI and LMN as it relates to Artificial Intelligence. What role do you think software will play in this revolution and do you think that part of the move in CSU, TOI and LMN has been a result of the AI positioning by investors in these software companies.

Q: Yesterday CGI Group announced that they have partnered with Helsinki University Hospital to produce an AI solution for analyzing brain CT scans and detecting brain hemorrhages. They noted that the solution may be offered to hospitals around the world and that it may also be used to advance the development of other AI-based healthcare solutions in the future.

This seems like an interesting new field for CGI and I am wondering if you think it is of significance in their future growth.
