Q: Hi Peter and company,

Has there been any recent news or analyst upgrades to explain the incredible momentum for SMCI? The stock has basically taken off since Nvidia blow out earnings outlook. Are you concerned that the stock is coming in too hot before the upcoming earnings release, or is the stock still reasonable priced?

Thanks for the great service,
Angelo

Q: I have a 5% position in cash, and am looking at the above three positions for medium term growth (1-3 years). I understand that these have different risk factors, but taking risk out of the equation, would you split the position, and if so, how. Thanks!

Q: Good day,

Can I please have your updated analysis of Equinix? I have read all past questions on this stock dating back to 2016. Many of your responses mentioned high debt levels, low inside ownership and high valuation. Are these still factors? I have a small position but am trying to decide whether to add to make it a more meaningful position.

Thank you,

Q: Good day,

Can I get your take on Blackrock’s earnings? Revenue growth seems to have slowed but do you see anything to worry about for a long term investor? I have a small position and am thinking of adding. Would you consider it an add or a hold for a long-term position and your reasoning, please?

Thank you,

Q: I recently shorted some puts on VZ with the idea of locking in a "decent" ($34) purchase price and making a few $$ in advance of the next dividend. The lead wire scandal seems to open up VZ and the other telecom carriers to punitive lawsuits akin to the situation with MMM and the earplugs. Given the seemingly inevitable assignment of my puts and the grindingly long-term nature of U.S. group personal injury claims, and the words of the Clash, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?". I am a retired income investor who, at 62, still needs inflation resistance.

Q: Inmode's share price recently had a sizeable increase, presumably due the guidance it released. Would you expect a further increase based on that guidance? What are the prospects for the company going forward and where do you see the share price going from here, for the short as well as long term? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: PJAN— Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF (not in your data base). This ETF sounds fascinating. The fund sheet demonstrates the manager’s fondness for complex word choices and I am not sure that I understood the fund info. Would you be good enough please to explain the ETF’s strategy and tactics?

Is this a security *you* would buy and in what market conditions? Your reasoning with a bit of substance would be very valuable. Thank you.

Q: It's hard to beat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, but can you please provide your updated thoughts on the Hershey Company as a long term hold. It seems to have decent revenue and earnings growth for a Consumer Defensive stock, but I am concerned about its debt level. The stock price has really pulled back since early May.

Q: On Jun 21st, you responded to A regarding stocks for a TFSA. My son has a smaller TFSA but a longer time frame. He currently holds ZSP in his TFSA and we have been looking at adding some stocks. We like all the ones you suggested, but some of them are also in the top ten holdings of ZSP. Would you suggest adding the individual stocks anyway? Or selling ZSP and holding only stocks? Our initial plan was to make ZSP about 20% of this TFSA and then hold 8-10 stocks. Also, what do you think of adding AXON and AMD to his TFSA at this time? Thank you.
