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: PLTR or INTU at today's levels? Which would you choose?

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.

2. Data Processing
3. Business Application Design
4. Data Centers
5. Power Supply (for the Data Centers)

Thank you!

Q: As a senior, I found the AI revolution quite confusing with so many companies involved. I wanted to understand their roles better before investing more. The explanations I found on Google were too technical and didn’t give me a clear picture. Then I discovered Bing and Meta AI, which were very helpful. I asked them to explain each company’s work using everyday analogies. Meta AI used the construction of a vehicle to illustrate each company’s role, and I found it much easier to understand. It was so interesting that I wanted to share it. Thanks!

Here's an analogy using the construction of a vehicle to explain the work of the above AI companies:

1. _NVDA (NVIDIA)_: Engine manufacturer (GPUs) - Provides the powerful engine (compute power) that drives the vehicle (AI system).

2. _AVGO (Broadcom)_: Electrical system supplier - Ensures seamless connectivity and communication between various vehicle components (devices and systems).

3. _SMCI (Super Micro)_: Chassis manufacturer - Builds the strong foundation (servers) that supports the vehicle's (AI system's) components.

4. _ARM (Arm Holdings)_: Vehicle architect - Designs the efficient and powerful blueprint (chip architectures) for the vehicle's engine and other components.

5. _PLTR (Palantir)_: Data analyst - Helps the vehicle's (organization's) mechanics understand and optimize performance by analyzing complex data.

6. _ASML (ASML Holding)_: Precision toolmaker - Creates ultra-accurate machinery (lithography machines) that crafts tiny, precise components (chips) for the vehicle.

7. _TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor)_: Chip manufacturer - Builds the intricate silicon components (chips) that power various vehicle systems.

8. _VRT (Vertiv)_: Power and cooling specialist - Ensures the vehicle's (AI system's) engine and components receive reliable power and cooling, preventing overheating and damage.

In this analogy, each company plays a vital role in constructing and optimizing the vehicle (AI system), from designing and building components to ensuring efficient performance and maintenance

Q: Hi,
PLTR’s price has really jumped as of late. The stock was already very expensive from a valuation standpoint. Do you think it’s gotten ahead itself?
Thanks for all that you do!
Kerri

Q: Do you know the reason why PLTR is up so much today on high volume.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Good Morning
Setting aside the results, clearly they were good, but just focusing on market expectations and future returns, would you initiate a position in NVIDIA today? What other themes for AI would you look at going forward?
Thank you

Q: Thanks, 5i for your efforts that have meaningfully helped me to a more secure retirement which I am enjoying now. I do have a question: please can you compare and contrast PLTR and KXS going forward?

Henry

Q: It is my understanding that these two companies offer similar services. Are they direct competitors? Can you please compare and contrast these two on balance sheet strength, potential moat, growth prospects and current valuation?
