Q: With the Nasdaq now down more than 15%, what would be your top 5 picks in the tech sector (both Canada and US) for growth given at least a 5+ year hold period?

I'm looking for stocks with great fundamentals that have just taken an unfair beating due to sector rotation and fear selling.

Q: Good morning
A question was recently asked concerning your preference between msft and Nvidia. You said you preferred Microsoft. I was wondering if you could elaborate on your reasons for that decision? I ask because I hold the two of them and have been thinking of selling Microsoft in order to reduce my technology component.
Thanks

Q: Re your response to John, January 17th, you answered "it's hard to beat a single great company that compounds year after year".
Could you please recommend 5 Canadian and 5 US companies that fit into said catagory that have declined recently due to the tech sell off, and represent a good buy/nibble point,
Please include a mix of larger e.g CSU and Google, along with more recent up and comers e.g. Shop and Roku, which seem to be among your most obvious favourites.
Thanks Peter.

Q: For the aggressive part of my portfolio I have 1 to 2 percent positions in TTd, crwd and unity. You mentioned these are still expensive and I was wondering about taking that 5 percent and allocating it to shopify now that it has been cut in half and it’s PE is in the 30’s? Could we still see the possibility for significant drawdowns on Veev and apps, or could one or both of those be options for a less aggressive play for some of that money as well? There always is the option to do nothing with the rest of my portfolio being balanced. These moves would all have no tax consequences being part of a registered plan. Thx as always

Q: Was listening to some podcasts on clean energy and it was noted that Canada has some of the best battery recycling in the world. I found the above noted company and was wondering your thoughts on it as an investment or if there is another company in this space you might consider.
The speaker also commented that Canada is in a good position to capitalize on clean energy but needs a national strategy or we will just end up sending the raw materials to be processed elsewhere missing out on value added economy.
Do you have any suggestions as to companies that may be on the way to achieving this?

Q: Hello Peter,

You used to love palantir’s prospects. Do you still feel the same way about this company and that it will be a future powerhouse in data and to a large extent are in a league of their own?

If so, at what price are you buying? At what price do you love it? And at what price is it a table pounder. I remember last year you loved it at $18.
