Investment Q&A

Q: what's causing SHOP to be so strong the past couple of days. I see no material news other than analysts reiterating their but=y ratings. Is it a run up before they report tomorrow? Might someone know something beforehand?

Q: Hello,

Q: What you would say today to an investor who own shares of this enterprise : sell or hold? and why?

Thank tou very much in advance.

Q: QCOM How do you interpret the recent gap down after it reported its earnings on Feb 04? What is your view about this company in the future? Is it a good time to add?


Thanks a lot!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Peter, I enjoyed and learned a lot from your latest Financial Post article on AI.

The last question on HBDG was in May 2025. Its AUM is now $32,500,000. Is it big enough now, and is it a good ETF to safely play the AI theme?

Thanks as always for your insight.

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

Q: With all of the fear around software being made obsolete due to AI, are there any particular businesses that you might see as being inappropriately oversold in this mass sell-off? I’m specifically wondering about TOST, as it seems that because it is so integrated into restaurant ecosystems, this would be hard to replace with AI… any thoughts on this? Many thanks.

Q: Company is getting slaughtered after earnings. Do you see any long term potential for a patient investor?
Thanks

Q: Hello and thank you for all of your great work last week as we all navigated the flurry of earnings, particularly as it related to the big tech names.

I have been hearing more and more about Anthropic, and how much more potential it may have over the long term versus OpenAI. Some have suggested that comparing the two names now is like what happened ~ 25 years ago when there were comparisons being made about Netscape and HP. We all know who won that “battle”. But many commentators are suggesting that the entity that goes after “enterprise” will ultimately prevail - this is what happened with HP. And the entity that goes after consumer/retail will ultimately fail - this is what happened with Netscape. Some have even suggested that with the most recent funding round of OpenAI, where valuation is predicted to be ~ $850 billion, that this may in fact be the high water mark, and that it may very well be downhill from here.

So - my questions are as follows - (i) Who do you prefer longer term, OpenAI or Anthropic? And (ii), would you be concerned about MSFT with respect to the significant investment it has already made in OpenAI?

Q: Good Morning
With all the increases in Capex spending what specific stocks do you see as benefitting short and long term? This might seem like an obvious question but with all the negative momentum it needs asking. Thank you

Q: Can you please comment on earnings, the lawsuits/verdict and whether this is a buy, sell, or hold? Thank you!

Q: Are you still very positive on Google after earnings? Big tech getting negative press with some calling to boycott due to connection to ICE. Do you think this can have any effect on Google? Thank you!

Q: Hi 5I.
Samsung has announced that they will start large-scale production of the next generation of high-bandwidth memory chips as soon as this month which seems to be a significant threat to MU who's recent success lies in the production of HBM chips. I was about to take a position in MU and this news has dampened my decision. Your thoughts and guidance please.

Q: On CNBC today Brad Gerstner, who i believe is one of the smart ones out there, said if software companies do not adapt to AI for revenue and profits, they are just about done. What do you think?
Thanks Again

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

Is there any reason in particular MSFT is down (almost 20%) in the past 3 months? At what price would you say MSFT is attractive to re-buy shares?

Thanks for all you do

Q: What are your thoughts on the software industry sell-off being an M&A catalyst? Any ideas on target companies being taken out?

Q: Peter; Would you switch from AMZN to NVDA today? Thanks.

Q: Another one on Constellation.

All software stocks bounced nicely, in Friday's trading ( IGV - Tech software ETF also bounced off its low of $80, Thursday ).

But, on a day like this, CSU is down 4% (after reversing from $2570, on Thursday ), contrasting the trend of its peers. If CSU has been hammered, over past several months, due to AI scare, like many other software Co's, it should follow the trend and be up today, but sadly no.

It appears to me that CSU may have found a bottom, in the near term ( $2175-$2200), but could well remain range bound, until posting at least a couple of solid quarters, irrespective of the general trend in software co's ( AI related fears).

Would you agree with these observations ?

Thank You

Q: Shopify stock has declined by over $100, from a high of $253, in Oct,25 to $150, now.

What is causing the outsized drop and negative sentiment ?

Even today when the entire Tech sector bounced back nicely in Friday's trading, SHOP has lagged the market and continues its downtrend of several weeks with a red tape.

Do you think strong earnings, next week could change the scene ?

Thank You
