Q: Hi,

Haivision has announced a few new contracts or collaborations in the last few weeks and has hit a new 52 week high today (Sept 04).
Can you please provide your thoughts on the recent news and if they are significant (from a revenue/earnings view) going ahead.
They are due to report their 3Q soon I believe.
I currently have about a 1/3 position. Would you top up to a 1/2 position based on recent developments....assuming a diversified portfolio?
I recall ET had made a play for them awhile ago and assume that is now off the table given the increased share price.

cheers,
Steve

Q: Thanks for your answer of September 5th to my question on SCMI. You did not give me a guideline as to what you thought a good acceptable size would be. Currently it is 3%of my entire portfolio. Do you feel that is too large?

Also, to clarify, would you or would you not at this point sell OOM Covered calls on this positon, say 450 ,470 etc.

You felt due to the higher upside vs downside at this point you would hold the position.

Thanks in advance for your clarification

Q: This stock has traded in the 30 plus dollar range this year until recently where it has taken a huge drop to19-20. Im not even sure if it may continue to slide. What's confusing is that it was undervalued in the thirties and now a big drop after a solid q2. Also the short position has recently increased to 29 percent. The shorts got what they wanted. Shouldn't they be covering. I want to buy but feel they might know something with such a huge number. Lastly they just came out with a release saying the price isn't reflected in the value and they will start buying back 43 million dollars worth of shares. Is this a great buying opportunity.

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: I've taken a position in Celestica partly based on your reviews. In one of the recent questions about CLS you mentioned a desirable entry point, any guidance on a stop price?
Based on this chart i will set my stop limit just below the 200 SMA at $57.50

Seem reasonable for downside protection?
With the BOC lowering rates i think that is positive for small caps like CLS however i'm still nervous about a broader market decline.

Q: Wondering what your take on the quarterly reports are for these two, with one going up and the other going down after hours. Really interested on your take of ZS since it seems to have finally come down in valuation. Is this a good buying opportunity for us bargain hunters? How does its valuation stack up now against CRWD, PANW, and FTNT?

Q: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on XHAK. I have been looking at buying a cybersecurity stock for some time, trying to decide between Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and some others. Could this ETF be a way in the sector? Looking at the portfolio, it includes some cos that don’t seem to be directly involved in cybersecurity, though. Not sure why these are included in this ETF… Thanks

Q: Everyone, Bitcoin, there has been a lots of talk about crypto for many years but I am hesitant until it is supervised by the treasury departments of countries. Until then it is nothing more than a digital currency that could have no value. That being stated politicians will start to approve if it will get them a vote. Rule number one of a politician is get elected and rule two is get re elected. So do I wait or do I purchase an ETF? Do I purchase in quarter pieces over the course of a year? Or what? Clayton
