Q: I am trying to compare valuation metrics on these two companies. With ASML we have RoE of 57%, P/E of 36, price to sales of 9.7
With MKSI we have RoE of 19.3%, P/E of 10.9, price to sales of 2.3
With these wildly different ratios can you help with comparisons. What numbers would you suggest for evaluation these two companies... which one holds the best reward for an investor?

Q: Hi team,

Looking for performing stocks with strong growth potential, and reasonable risks. What is your present evaluation of the followings: TH-Q, NEX-N, PGY-Q and ASML-Q ? Would you buy it now ? If not, what would be your favorite in the same sector ?

Have a good day,

Q: I have a quarter position in OTEX in a TFSA. I'm interested in Companies that pay Dividends and I find it challenging to find Tech Co's which fit that category, so I'm not sure whether to keep it, buy more or sell it. You had taken it out of your balanced portfolio, so wondering how you consider it. Does it still have some growth potential, so worth the lower Dividend? (I prefer Co's that have a 3-4% Div). I already have 1/2 positions in SYZ and CSCO. If you think it should be replaced, what other Dividend Tech Co's do you like? Thanks.

Q: I got caught in the recent drop with too much US tech. I have positions in these companies, all down more than 50%. I don't need to consolidate, but could if it means a stronger recovery. Looking toward a recovery in the market, do you see any holdings that have a lesser chance of recovery, that should be sold to add to another position that has a better chance of recovery? Thanks!
