Q: I kept waiting for the semi-conductor stocks to get cheaper and missed the big run. Has the sector not been cyclical historically? Do you think the sector is cooling off or entering a downturn, or is it time to step in? Qualcomm or Nvidia?

Q: Hi ,
With wild swings up and down with high growth tech stocks, its my opinion that nothing has changed other than their markets caps and the price. In some cases they have even become cheaper then they were, EV/sales etc. I decided to hold on to my high growth stocks as the "underlying business" fundamentals have not changed. In some cases, they have even got better.
My portfolio is down roughly 40%, which i would consider quite normal during a pullback of this sorts.
Would you agree with my thinking ?
Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter, in the semi space we have AMD, NVDA, QRVO, ON, and MKSI. Knowing that NVDA is your favorite would you exit or trim any of these ? In Tech what do you think happens if/when the big guys AAPL, GOOGL etc and then the smaller guys report more good earnings numbers ? Will this boost them or are we past that for now ? Thanks for all you do !

Q: hello 5i:
Owning "best of breed" or "best in class" is always factored into decisions in purchasing shares. Having held PANW for a number of years, and happy with results, I nevertheless wonder if selling and buying CRWD in its place, would be a strategy you'd see as beneficial. Discussion on the pros/cons would be helpful.
always listening

Q: I hold XIT in both my RRSP and TFSA and have done very well owning it. Over the years I have trimmed multiple times, redeploying into NTR and Eric's NPP314 (oil). I bought SJR.B in January (in my TFSA), fully intending for it to be a medium term hold and have started to trim it this week.

My plan now with the cash is to add back to XIT, but my reading seems to indicate that there may be more volatility in the Tech sector. Just wondering what your crystal ball shows? When I look at the chart for XIT, I see support levels at roughly $43, then $38. I know this is a "timing" question, but do you see further Tech weakness, and if so, where would you step back in.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: I am doing a comparison between U and NOW. When looking at guidance given by both companies, they are very similar, both around 30% revenue growth for the next two years. NOW has lots of cash flow and a growing operating margin, U is far from being profitable. The price multiples for U is almost double NOW. Is the difference in valuation justified? Which would you buy?
