Q: As Cerberas is not publicly traded, you may not have much to say but I thought I would ask. I read an article from Forbes, “Cerebras Update: The Wafer Scale Engine 3 Is A Door Opener” detailing their technology. With all of the fever surrounding AI, I found the discussion interesting, albeit over my head.
Any thoughts on their technology and its prospects to be adopted more widely? Any thoughts on weather they might eventually go public? Their web site has a link to a private equity investment for as little as $5000. Is this an option for a regular Joe like me?
Thanks In advance for any insights you very wise folks may have.

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating taking a position in VRT. However, I am way overweight in NVDA at the moment in my portfolio. I was wondering if VRT is a stock that will be highly correlated to AI, and might track the sector same as NVDA? Perhaps they are too closely related to hold both? Or do you feel they are different enough that I should be holding both? I have been hesitant to trim NVDA for other AI plays simply due to the fact that NVDA seems to be the clear leader in the space and why sell the "Best"? Your thoughts please. Thanks

Shane.

Q: I want to spend the next 14 months growing my TFSA to pay down my mortgage when it comes due in June 2025. I started this quest about 6 months ago with 20% of the funds, and I'm now about halfway there. I have funds in US for 6 positions, and Canadian for 3, and currently own the above stocks. I haven't yet made my TFSA contribution for 2024, so could add a position to either. Keeping in mind the remainder of my portfolio is well balanced (cash account and RRSP) and this is a 14-month growth mission, do you see anything I should sell, or can you recommend something I should buy?

Q: Would you be comfortable bringing VRT up to a full position? I currently have half a position and uncommitted funds to increase that to a full position. If you would prefer more diversity, can you provide three other suggestions for a US growth stock - not in the consumer cyclical space - for a TFSA? (NVDA already held.) Thank you.

Q: Can you please update your opinion on STM? Is it an "Ai company" and if so, why has it not taken off like many of the others? They seem to be focused on "edge ai" which may just be their branding or is it a different way of commercializing AI than what companies like Nvidia do? When I last asked about it in July you seemed somewhat constructive on the stock so I'm intrigued as to what it may be lacking or missing in the minds of investors to cause it to sit out the recent rally. Perhaps it isn't AI enough? Your recommendation on its worthiness as a buy or hold would be appreciated as well as clarification that it is or is not really an AI play and whether that matters to the investment case please.

Q: I have a ~1% position in ERF (Enerplus), in an RSP, which looks to be taken over by Chord (CHRD). Most of the ERF proceeds would be in CHRD shares (a company I don't know much about), with only a relatively small amount of cash received. Meantime, my portfolio is currently ~8.5% oil & gas (SU, CVE, TOU, IMO, CPG, etc.) but only ~3% "chips" exposed (CHPS.to, MSFT). From your perspective, what do you think of selling some (or all) ERF now, so as to buy something like ASML?
