Q: Hi 5i,

Looking for additional exposure in the semi-conductor market. I currently already have a 3% weighting in NVDA. I am looking to potential start a position in AMD or INTC.

Your previous answers to questions suggest you favour AMD (after NVDA) given the companies recent execution.

However, INTC seems to be turning a corner with there plans to build new plants in Arizona in the next few years and change in management. Based on its current valuation (cheap compared to AMD) the current tailwinds of 'on shoring' it seems to me a compelling buy compared to AMD.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate all you do.

Q: With this announcement what would you expect in terms of stock performance going forward if approved? Would you have concerns with this if you were an investor? Long term I believe this best of breed company will be fine but if the stock price will drop a fair bit I would rather add at lower levels. I feel like this is a pretty big dilution but what is your opinion? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Would appreciate you thoughts on GOOG growth for the next 5-10yrs.

Your past answers to questions state that you view this company's valuation as 'cheap' and its cloud services and Waymo as catalysts for greater growth.

However, I can't reconcile that against a potential recession scenario in the next few years were ad revenue could decrease and potential anti trust cases being brought against it.

Thank you,

Greg

Q: Do you think the selling in US banks is overdone? They have really taken a big hit lately. I would think with rising rates, they would be going up instead of dropping. Is this because of the war in Ukraine and their interests in Russia, or are there other factors at play here?

Which one is your favourite right now? I don't own any of them, but am thinking of starting a position.

Q: What do you think of Tesla, they are just stretching such a big lead on the next guy and it continues, the first quarter numbers are up and its insane, they put out 310000 cars in the last quarter, mustang put out 58000 all of last year, this year they want to triple it but already they are out of chips. Tesla spends 3 times the RD per car that other builders do. They had 14 cars left in inventory at the end of the last quarter. They are sold out until 2023. Two huge additions will come on line this year, Giga Berlin ( already going and putting out a "sold" car every 150 seconds, Giga Texas coming in the next few months. They are secure in their access to nickel. Seeing Giga Berlin build cars is just fantastic, incredible automation, the giga press. It seems all is roses and just starting to ramp up, do these incredible numbers make a statement for the stock? buy, sell or hold?
thanks, Jean
