Investment Q&A

Q: PSI.US is an ETF in the U.S. semiconductor industry.

I recently made the mistake of loading up on two of its better performing stocks, NVDA and LRCX.

Do you like PSI.US?

Thanks Peter,

Q: Hi,
I currently dont hold any tech or insurance companies. The rest of my portfolio is fairly diversified. With the recent tech pullback and also rumors of rate hikes where do you see as being a better long term investment? I like to think in terms of at least 3-5 years. All drips available will be used. Currently I have one full position worth of cash available. Am I better do you think to put it all into one or split between some? Do you see somewhere better to put the dollars to work?
Thanks

Q: Do the last several days in the drop of the above stocks represent a buying opportunity or would you wait awhile? With thanks, Bill

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Impinj Inc has a very nice run up lately, it dropped 13% today along with the other tech stock.

What is your thought of this company. Do you see strong future growth?

Would you think it is buyable at this level or is it still too expensive?

Thanks as always. Pui

Q: Is there a better deal out there for Sandvine or should I sell it now? I was thinking of putting the proceeds into Open Text or Shopify now that it has sold off.

Thank you.

Q: Can you recommend a handful of your preferred US tech names? Also can you suggest anything in your coverage universe in tech that you would be wary of right now? For the latter I am curious about Canadian tech companies that you like but that for one reason or another may be best to avoid in the shorter term. Thanks.

Q: HI 5i,

I unfortunately bought into Shopify and Apple right before the big tech sell off on Friday and today, and as such I am down quite a bit.

I know the financials and growth prospects of both companies are VERY strong and a rebound is likely within the next month, so I am wondering whether this is an opportunity to buy these stocks at a lower price. My sector weighting in tech is currently 12% (I am in my mid twenties with a higher risk tolerance), so I am also wondering whether you think I should instead sell to cut my losses if you see this correction continuing long term.

Thanks,

Grace

Q: Strong downward move recently. Would appreciate your current views. Full position held in trust for children w/5 year minimum time horizon. Agressive growth is goal. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
I currently don't hold any tech. With the drop last week almost sector wide would you think this is a good entry point? I'm long term (at least 3-5 years), fairly comfortable with risk. What would you recommend? Any drips available will be utilized as well.

THanks!

Q: Good morning gentlemen,

I have fairly large gains in the fang stocks as well as with Apple. With the Nasdaq taking its second consecutive beat down today, Would you be inclined to take profits. With Apple being down close to 8 percent in two days ( due to downgrades, ostensibly), in your experience. Does a stock like this rebound the following day? Also, do you think the sector shift away from tech could be an enduring trend?

All of the aforementioned positions are at 5-6 percent holdings.

What I'm getting down to is : sell today, or wait for a rebound ? I understand the former involves a degree of market timing, but surely with your many years in the industry, you must have some flair for such events.

With much appreciation,
Karim Rahim

Q: Enghouse off over 10% today. Apparently some analyst at Goldman Sachs suggested we might be in a tech bubble and suddenly everyone is dumping all tech stocks. What do you think?

Q: Hi, Shopify will be added to S&P TSX composite Index, after close of business, June 16, 2017. How many shares will be needed to fulfill the demand next week, in your estimate ? Thanks

Q: I have an "overweight" position in this stock (not overly so, perhaps 8%). Thank you, it has done very well. However, though I appreciate one should not make much of one days price action, I did note quite a volume spike on todays sell off. I also have noted that not just one but a number of insiders have been selling over the last month or so. Certainly, the gains could justify some of that, but for one holding a relatively large position these indicators are troublesome. Given that my gains have been substantial, I am wondering if trimming, somewhat in accordance with the insider selling, may be appropriate.
I do note that, generally, "analysts" have been increasing target prices on this company which doesn't seem to "go to market". Makes me wonder if "something" is in the works?
Anyway, I would certainly appreciate your considered opinion on what is going on with this one and whether a trimming, rather than just letting winners run, may be appropriate here.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have held DIS for about 3 years and have a gain of 30% but it has not done much lately and seems to be range bound and having problems in its ESPN division. I'm thinking of switching to QQC to get some exposure to US Tech and hopefully more growth. What is your opinion of this move?

Q: With regards to the downturn in Technology stocks - Goldman Sachs issued a note today saying that FANG's are mispriced (and should be lower in conclusion).

I think that would affect the market more than the short seller tweet.

Q: Boy, tech is being devastated today NVDA FB/ AVGO/ LRCX etc etc

What is causing this nuclear devastation amongst these high flyers all today and all together?

Thanks for your insight

Q: Seems tech sector was attacked harder following Citron‘shorting on NVDA.
I have no idea why Citron has so powerful impact on the market.

Q: Could I please have your thoughts on $GPS. What are the risks. Do you see much growth near term.

Thanks Valter
