Q: SMCI has raised cash twice in the last 6 months, arguably much more cash than they really need which has increased speculation about possible acquisitions.
From their corporate presentations we know VRT have planned to scale production of a newly acquired liquid cooling technology over 40x through the course of this year. Seems like something that would take some up front capital investment. Does your crystal ball foresee VRT raising cash? Do they need to raise cash or is cash flow strong enough to grow the business?
Thanks.

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: As part of a growth oriented US$ portfolio, I have 1.5% positions in each of VRT and CELH . I now have some extra cash available from taking a bit of the very nice profit in my SMCI holding (thank you, 5i)
My plan was to increase one or both of those 1.5% positions with that cash, but I have also been considering a starter position in AXON. Your comments would be appreciated, and if you think Axon would be your preference, could you give a ballpark buy price.
Many thanks, as always.

Q: Good afternoon, Just wondering if your conviction for Elastic N.V. is still as high as it was several weeks ago? Since the drop following the recent earnings report, ESTC hasn't really participated much in any of the tech rallies. I'm down about 11% and wondering if I should be patient, or consider selling and adding to other high conviction picks already owned, such as NXT, VRT or AXON? Thanks. Brad
