COMMENT
Big tech reporting -- any surprises so far?

There are always surprises, as you can see by the price action :)  Yes, MSFT did well, while the last 2, 3, 4 earnings have been terrible. They got their act together. They know how to phrase things for the audience to show how they're monetizing the AI infrastructure buildout. 

Whereas META, he doesn't know. Perhaps it's hard to get out of being a true advertiser. They're trying to monetize. But the market wants to know what the plan is.

COMMENT
Large language models.

The hyperscalers are doing great, as are the connectors. The whole infrastructure buildout is doing well. That's sort of the bullseye, and then around them you have tools like the large language models. And then the applications surround all that. 

Most of the large language models are private. Anthropic, Grok, and OpenAI. It's difficult to get all the information. Hopefully they'll go public and they'll have to be a lot more transparent, as that's the "glue" between the infrastructure and the applications for the end users.

COMMENT
Portfolio positioning.

They stick to their knitting on stock portfolios. They know where they want to enter and where they want to exit. There's a farm league of other companies that they'd like to put into the portfolio when they exit something.

Some of the magic they add is on the hedging. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. With the recent volatility in the market, they're finding that the hedge can actually contribute profits (rather than just acting as an insurance policy). They had dialled up the hedge to 80-90% of the notional value of stock portfolios (last time they did that, was in Spring 2020 going into Covid). This past Tuesday, they took almost all of it back.

STRONG BUY

Absolutely put money in today. Trying to find their way, but not giving full guidance and spending a heck of a lot of $$. Thinks they're purposely not communicating fully. Taking $$ from EVs and redeploying into retooling for Optimus. A lot has to go right on execution. On Tuesday, MS put price target at $475.

BUY

Lots is going well. Does a lot of the connectors for the hyperscalers. His price target is $484.

SELL

Plays in the same sandbox as a Hut 8. Primarily in the hyperscaler/AI infrastructure buildout. Houses a lot of the cryptocurrencies out there. He likes Hut 8 a bit more, so you might want to move into that one.

BUY

Mainly in bitcoin, but has transitioned to hyperscaler/AI infrastructure. Good runway.

HOLD

His team has been writing calls -- that's been working because the price has come down and the volatility's really high. One of three companies forming a monopoly, so you have to have a position. His price target is $1508, but expects the better part of the summer to see consolidation in a wide range.

HOLD
Down 30%, but in a TFSA.

Classic chart of an IPO. He wouldn't sell. He bought more ~$10-11 earlier this week. Very well run, highly respected management. A leader in modular photonic quantum computing, which should be monetized in 18-24 months. Healthy balance sheet. 12-month price target of $44.

PARTIAL BUY

Price target in 12 months of $182.25, long runway. Government side is massive, so fully integrated into so many defense systems around the world. Needs to strengthen enterprise side. CEO's abruptness turns people off in the way Elon Musk does. Definitely buy some here, more ~$115, and the rest ~$105.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 13/25, Up 71%)

Has done phenomenally well, though has rolled over a bit. Now has factories all around Europe, supplying the EU and the UK. Consistent with the theme of countries boosting defense spending. He's holding.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 13/25, Down 43%)

Couple of missteps, which disappointed the market. His position is very small, as they're keeping an eye on it. Still one of the best when it comes to drone technology.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 13/25, Down 35%)

After trimming, his position is ~1%. Analysts' price target would be a double from here.

(Analysts’ price target is $101.00)
HOLD

Circuit boards and lighting for both commercial and defense contracts. Popped, as it was chosen for Canada's firefighting aircraft. Don't buy here, but hold if you already own it. Runway to price target is very close.

Keep it on your radar. If you can get it closer to $20, $19, and $18, you should do very well with it.

(Analysts’ price target is $25.00)
DON'T BUY

Consulting is a tough business right now. AI becomes a tool for them, but also for a lot of their customers. Client base is very sticky, but hard to get new ones. Analyst price targets have come down.

(Analysts’ price target is $179.00)
