Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!
I bought some TSM just about the time Buffett bought his stocks in TSM. Unlike Buffett, I did not sell mine when he did, which was shortly after he bought them, citing geopolitical concerns. I find this a head scratcher. Why? To approve of an investment and then quickly disapprove, it seems someone at Berkshire was asleep at the wheel . This was rather sloppy of them. Just like the Fed, you don’t want to bet against Warren, but still, my inclination is to hold onto the stock since I am a long term investor. What are your thoughts on TSM?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: In the wake of turbulence there is often opportunity - is that the case for "brave" and NOT risk averse investors in the regional banks of the US? If so, what key metrics would you use and do you see some larger and safer opportunities within the regional bank space - maybe this could be an article you could write for clients?

Regards
John

Q: Hello 5i, I know you like CRWD as a cyber security company. Over the last 3 years FTNT has increased by 190% whereas CRWD has increased by 61%. I know that past performance is not a guarantee for the future, but if you had to buy just one today which one would you buy? Would you sell CRWD and replace it by FTNT? Thank you

Q: Please comment on the review from a new book from Michio Kaku and how the coming of quantum computing would affect companies in the SOX index such as NVDA. Are there any public or private companies at the forefront of this advance?

"The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. Running up against the physical constraints of smaller and smaller sizes, traditional silicon chips are not likely to prove useful in solving humanity's greatest challenges, from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. But the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were. "

Apparently the auto industry and medical research areas are already using it.
