Q: Would you consider KLA and/or ASML as "core" IT/AI holdings for 3-5 years, apart from current M 7 holdings. Among IT/AI opportunities available, how would you rank one or both, given current valuations, and taking into account vulnerabilities [China]. Or, would you suggest 3 others instead.
Thanks

Q: Share price of LLY is down again this morning (January 14) after the company reported results below analysts’ expectations. For the longer term the company’s forward guidance (just-issued) is slightly above expectations. What do you have as PEG please? Given the firm's latest results and fwd guidance, what would you say is a reasonable price range to buy at :
(1) for a longer-term hold ; and
(2) what would be reasonable price range for a parent aged 75 whose portfolios is tilted towards high growth companies— or would you avoid LLY in the latter case? :ao:sab

Q: Hi team, Amazon DSP.. I think people just assume it’s always going to be a two-way race between Google and TTD. Can I get your take
on Amazon’s DSP and if it *could* become the 2nd most dominant player after Google? I have a 3% position and looking to make it 5%. Are you a buyer today? I have a 3.4% position in Apple which I’m considering selling completely to fund this.

Q: Hello all at 5i

Was looking at the proposed transaction initiated by Bill Ackman's Pershing Square whereby additional shares of Howard Hughes Holdings are to be acquired by Pershing along with a simultaneous share buyback of approx. 5.8M shares. The proposed buyback would be financed via issuance of bonds (swapping equity for debt).

HHH appears to have a nice collection of real estate assets. Ackman has stated that HHH will be a permanent holding. Bill Ackman is a (very) smart guy but do you think HHH is a smart investment?

Thank you

Brad

Q: Names like VRT, NVDA, SHOP have now corrected about 15%. I like to buy in these situations all the while being fully aware that I suck at timing the bottom of a correction, knowing only that I am getting a deal compared to recent highs. My questions are: Any red flags on any of these? Do you see other names with similar or greater pullbacks that are equally or more compelling? A list of those would be appreciated. Thank-you.

Q: As Google spent US$48 Bn a year (2024) it should have very robust search engines. The startup, perplexity.ai, is reportedly valued at US$9 Bn now. Mr Bezos and others back the firm. Personally, I haven't noticed big change for quite a while in Google's searching features. Do you if / know when perplexity might be brought public, and whether is looks at this point to be close to being knock Google's searching feature away? If it could, would you expect this to have much impact on Google's profitability?
Thanks for your valued insights.
