Q: I am mostly content with my health care stocks with the exception of MDT. It has been essentially flat since about 2016 except for the dividend. It did peak around 2022 but has fallen down to previous levels.
What do you think of the longer term for MDT?
Would you make any other changes for slow but reliable growth and higher end of dividends.
As always, thank you for the great service.
Q: The first questions on PLTR appear in October 2020. At that time the response in general terms could be characterized as “we like it but it is expensive, there is sole party risk…take a small position”. The latest response is quite similar but of course the company is much more widely held.
Today the stock dropped at opening by 5% on high volume, likely some panic selling. By 2pm the stock is down by 2% so it’s climbing up off it’s lows.
My question: has the risk factor on PLTR increased since Oct 2020?
If I have mis-characterized 5i’s position please do not hesitate to correct me.
I do not own the stock but am mulling it over even though the AI sector seems to be weak.
One follow-up question: If NVDA reports good numbers will it raise all AI stocks?
Thanks,
Jim
Q: Hi 5I
I own both SMCI and NBIS. I’ve done very well with both, but my question is is about moving some or all funds from SMCI to NBIS for the reason NBIS may be a much better company.
Volatility doesn’t bother me, just looking at potential end results. Thanks very much for putting me on these two names as I’ve very well

Q: Could you please provide your analysis of GE Vernova.
We have been interested in the Co, for exposure to Power Infrastructure sector/Nuclear. However, stock has continued to march to new highs, except for past 2 weeks, following a general weakness in most momentum names.
Do you like the Company and would you be comfortable buying at current levels, say $600. after the pull back ? ( More so, stock exhibiting a little bit of support around $585-$595, in Wednesday's trading ).
Q: In light of PLTR’s decline now can you think of other similar companies from the past that have come back and become market staples now…. Like an apple, Microsoft. Or an industrial or energy stock ? Or is PLTR such an anomaly that a more significant drop might be in the offing?
You say you prefer NBIS over CRWV because of valuation. But I'm also curious if you are a fan of their other non-"Nebius AI" product like Toloka, TripleTen, AvRide.
Seems CRWV is more of a pureplay on what Nebius AI does?
Q: B. RILY Financial Corp. (RILY:US) seems to be in the middle of a dramatic turnaround after an ugly 3 years. In your estimation is this turnaround "real" or just a possible short-term trading opportunity?
Many thanks,
David
Q: Would you recommend buying Berkshire Hathaway in lieu of holding extra cash in case of a market correction this Fall? (my theory being that they would be holding cash for me). Thanks!
Q: APLD and PHR are certainly different outside their current respective rates of momentum. Which has the best long-term prospects in your estimation? Why?
Thanks,
David
Q: These are my current holdings. Can you suggest 2 usa names to add to this list which might be complementary? I was thinking about NXT but it's jumped today. I would like to add two names that are not at 52 week highs but yet, are also "growthy." Maybe something that has pulled back irrationally like a NXT or UNH (prior to the big gains today). Thank you,
Q: Good Afternoon
I am attempting to diversify away from NVDA due to its large percentage of my holdings. I also have good gains in both NBIS and VRT although I am comfortable with their current weighting and both have room to grow. Assuming all 3 will somewhat move in unison does it make more sense to pick a non AI related stock rather than add to NBIS and VRT? If that is the case can you give me suggestions on what to add?
Thank you
Q: Could you comment on CRWV. I can’t find comments post earnings. The financial results disappointed or the stock was ahead of itself. Any views long term on buying? Entry point or wait for momentum?
