Q: Good Day,

POWL went basically up 100$ and down almost as much within a week or 2, what happened? Any significant news?

My personal experience with these types of moves has been mixed, sometimes I let them run, and sometimes "Something doesn't seem right/too good to be true". The exits have been on 'psychology' type stocks and have been pretty successful (TSLA, first buy on SMCI, etc). I know it comes down to position sizing, but are some general guidelines or metrics to look at that can help decide whether it's worth trimming your position or not?

Secondly, PLTR. I have read a lot of the comments on it, and see the value in where they have positioned themselves, but am also concerned about the valuation, and how only a small slowdown could significantly tank the share price.

With the addition to the SP500 being one of a list of its catalysts, are there other companies with solid fundamentals, market share, and or momentum that are on the shortlist/likely to be added to a major index in the coming year or 2? Could you provide 2 or 3 condidates for the TSX60, SP500, NASDAQ100 and any other significant ones that may be of interest.

Thanks!

James

Q: We’re retired with comfortable pensions and a 10 year+ investing horizon. To date we’ve invested in Canadian growth companies inside our TFSAs (we’ve tried to access the US market through companies such as WSP and PRL). We’ve recently opened a $USD trading account and want to start investing in relatively stable US companies with some growth potential. ISRG is one we’re considering. Could you please provide a list of 6-8 companies you’d be looking into if it was your money. Thanks so much for all you do.

Q: Hello 5i:
I want to add to my AI exposure with a 3 – 5 year horizon.
I already have sufficient TSLA and AAPL, and moderate positions in NVDA and MSFT, and a starting position in PLTR.
What would be your choice(s) for adding to any of these, and/or starting new positions such as AVGO, DELL , TSM, or others? I have avoided GOOG due to possible breakup legislation.
Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: Hi,

With the stellar performance of NVDA over the last two years, what inning do you think they are in for future gains and what's the risk/reward setup? I'm up over 500% and NVDA is one of my top positions. I hear the AI revolution is just get started and its only 7pm and this party ends at 3am. As the AI revolution continues here, who are the top 4-5 companies that are next to benefit where they are trading at a fair valuation currently? Would it now be the software companies and enterprises? I can either continue to hold NVDA or thinking of occasionally trimming to buy some smaller companies that have more torque, such as PLTR (expensive) or CLS. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Currently holding SHOP, CSU, CRWD, TOI, NVDA, LMN, INTU, VRT, SMCI, CLBT in tech.
