Q: Hi 5i,

What is your current thinking on BRK?

Buy, sell or hold?

Thank you.

Q: Wondering what your current view is of this stock. Has its standing with you deteriorated or do you continue to like the potential? And would you rate it buy sell or hold or do you prefer another?

Q: I sent this Q on April 9 but perhaps it was missed, hence the resend. "Question on PANW vs CRWD post-Anthropic Launch.
I’ve noticed a sharp 'gap up and give back' over the last 48 hours [Apr 9] in both Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and CrowdStrike (CRWD). Initially, the market cheered their inclusion as founding partners in Anthropic’s 'Project Glasswing,' but today they are seeing a significant drop—seemingly on fears that Claude’s new autonomous security capabilities could eventually disrupt incumbent vendors.
1. Do you view today’s drop as a valid structural concern regarding AI-driven disintermediation?
2. Which of these two do you feel is better positioned to integrate 'agentic AI' into their platform without eroding their existing moat?
3. Looking at current valuations, does it make sense to harvest a tax loss in PANW here to rotate into CRWD? Or would you sell and deploy proceeds elsewhere, given the current uncertainty in software businesses? :ao:

Q: Road stood up well thru this. Makes me curious. What do you think?

Q: Can you please suggest 5 names (Canada or US) that, regardless of size or sector, you have a high conviction that an investor will really, really wish they had bought or added to at today’s price looking back 5 years from now?

Thoughts on Netflix earnings yesterday?Seemed to be in line, with guidance reaffirmed for the rest of the year. But the stock is down 10% in the pre market. Is this solely due to Reed Hastings stepping down?

Q: TANKERS: with all the focus on shipping around the Gulf of Hormuz do you see tankers as a major opportunity right now?

And if you do: What would be your top 2 picks now? And is there an etf that would be complementary or instead of individual tanker stocks.

Thank you

Q: Please give me your opinion on WULF. Good time to buy? Thanks!

Q: With the quick change in the market, I feel like an idiot. On the days when things were tanking I was very nervous and didn't really add to any positions. When a growth stock goes from very high to so low it is hard to add more or start a new position. Any wisdom on this? Five that corrected a lot and are now catching a bid. What is your order of purchase for TFSA?

Q: Hello,

Microsoft is trading at its lowest valuation in nearly a decade at 23x earnings, despite Azure growing at 39% and overall revenue up 17% last quarter. By comparison, Alphabet trades at 29x earnings despite lower revenue growth than Microsoft since 2023 (31% vs 44%), and lower net margins (33% vs 39% for Microsoft). That said, Google Cloud is growing at 48%, faster than Azure, which could partly justify Alphabet's valuation premium. Given Microsoft's dominant position in enterprise cloud, its AI integration through Copilot with 15 million paid seats, and this valuation divergence with Alphabet, do you see Microsoft's current valuation as a genuine opportunity for long-term investors? Does Google Cloud's faster growth represent a significant competitive risk for Azure over the medium term? And what are the other key risks that could prevent Microsoft from returning to its historical valuation levels?

Thanks
