Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In many of your answers regarding the AI phenomenon, SMCI used to pop up along with VRT. VRT has hung in there very nicely, but SMCI is struggling near a 60% haircut from its peak. From your last comment on May23, you advise to keep both eyes on it, but I,m wondering if some compitition is affecting the company. Who are its closest competitors? How did the last quarter report compare to the previous 7 quarters, and would that explain the current negative momentum? What should the next report show that would give me comfort to hang in there?

Thanks, Lionel

Q: You have often noted your preference for investing in stocks exhibiting positive momentum. Do you promote this strategy to obtain the best price for the stock - i.e. not buying a failing knife or to ensure that the stock being purchased has a solid following with other investors and therefore a "good future"? I reference CELH and VRT in this question in order to determine the best way to purchase these stocks as both have been declining significantly for a short time ( although I think any volatile stock could be used). There is no question in mind that I want to buy both. Normally, I would wait to see their prices turn north before buying but both have shown in the past that a 10% - 20% one-day rise is not impossible. So is a partial buy-in called for here and risk missing in on a one-day big jump? Or is it best to see positive momentum first in case the stock isn't coming back?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I would like to add another tech name. With software being weak as of late, I was thinking of either ADBE or CRWD but would be open to another suggestion or two as well. I currently own GOOG, TSM, AMZN, and MSFT.. VRT and BKNG as well even tho they aren't really tech names. Thank you.

Q: Everyone, my tech portfolio is as follows: AAPL, AMZN, CSU, MSFT and NVDA. Is VRT a company to buy and hold forever or a stock buy for a few years and reassess. I.E. is its moat (people, technology, business plan, etc) wide enough to keep ahead of its followers Clayton

Q: I purchased these two based on your recommendations. NXT slightly off but it is early days. NXT up 50%. Thank you your guidance. My question is about the volatility of these two stocks. They will trade +/- 5% in a day quite often. Does this kind of movement concern you or does it represent the kind of investor involved in these stocks?

Q: Everyone, my neighbour just bought a ‘Back to the Future’ car with spoilers and all - yes he really did - and last night, without his knowledge I used it to go back to 1981. Then I used my life savings of $10000 to buy 125,000 shares of Apple stock. After the market closed that day in 1981 I flew back home to today. Now, I want to buy a stock from the next big growth industry AI. If I could buy just one stock, what stock would I buy? Clayton
