Investment Q&A

Q: After reading the article about KEYS in the Dec/22 Investor Suite this looks like a good long term hold. Will you please update ur comments of 1 yr ago comparing KEYS to LRCX and QCOM?

Thank you, Mike

Q: Hello Peter,

I think the market either goes down some or takes a breather for a couple of weeks as it digests the probability of a higher peak interest rate. I would like your opinion please.
In that context I am thinking of taking some profit on some of my long term positions that have rebounded with the intention of raising cash and legging in again as the rebound happens. At the same time I like them a lot and do not want to keep chasing after I sell. Just want to manage my risk without options.
In the semiconductor space I have a full position in NVDA and QCOM and half positions in ON and AMD. How would you suggest I trim, or should I go along for a bumpy ride?
As regards CRWD, I am in a conundrum. I like the space and it is my only holding there. It is also expensive. How would you suggest I manage the risk from here- I do not trade options.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: What percentage of revenue and earnings are from one time sales and from recurring business.

Q: I am 100% equity in Canada and mostly ETFs in USA....My plan is to stay that way but I am thinking to try and beat the average in the USA by adding a few individual USA stocks. Can you suggest a few NON-MAMAA stocks that you would consider as good to outperform the broad market in the USA. I have a very diversified and balanced portfolio so have no restrictions in terms of asset class. Not looking for a hot growth stock, but more of a buy and almost forget return booster for my USA investments.

Q: Can you please comment on The Trade Desk (TTD) latest earnings release. Was there anything of particular interest to note from the call this morning (either good or bad)? Is this one of your strong growth high conviction names to hold onto?

Q: I've held this stock for quite some time . Paid $52.38. It went over $350.00 and is now hanging in at approx. $134.00. Been a wild ride ! I believe it is still not profitable. Take a profit or hold ? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

Recently, Gabriela Borges of Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs initiated a Sell rating on Cloudflare (NET) with a $51 price target. The analyst believes emerging software industry dynamics are favorable for long-term investors. Multi-product platforms have gained momentum, the industry is less cyclical, and unit economics outperform broader software. However, for Cloudflare, the analyst believes that the path to executing $5 Billion in annual recurring revenue will likely not be linear. Over the medium term, the risk/reward is skewed negative for the stock.

What is your opinion of NET from a short-term and medium-term risk/reward perspective? Please explain your rationale.

Thanks

George

Q: I would like to add to my CDR holdings of either PFE, ABBV or UNH. I am leaning towards PFE since it's price has been down lately and it has a decent yield. How are CDR distributions treated for tax purposes, are they considered to be Canadian or US equities?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
In an earlier question you rated LLY as 9 and ABBV as 7. Should I sell my position in ABBV and move it to LLY?
Thanks

Q: Hi, I got burned on $TOST today. It was looking great technically until earnings. Now looking a bit soggy. Do you think the earnings justify a 1/4 slice being removed, seems a bit rich to me?

Q: Please comment on the recent/yearly results vs the heavy short interest. Is it worth considering ? Thank you.

Q: Please provide an update on the ATVI acquisition. Does this still makes sense as an arbitrage opportunity?

Q: Hi Peter,

It seems the market wants to take a breather what with inflation being sticky- makes me hesitant to put in new money?

Would you be a buyer of TWLO after today's price surge or wait for it to settle (and maybe miss the boat)? How would you compare it to CRWD as far as the return on investment is concerned? I have been using CRWD as a benchmark for comparison of risky growth stocks. Do you think that is a reasonably fair and quick method to evaluate ?
