Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,
Thanks for the great service Peter and Ryan. It is trying times for portfolios

We picked up AMZN (2%), KXS (1%), ZCH (2%) and GOOGL (1%) in the last few days. Also owned is BABA (3%), NVDA (2%). We have 25% in cash available. Is tech recommended to be 15% or 20% of a portfolio as of today with all the recent drops? I am going against the grain here for a bump up in 2019. Of AMZN, BABA, KXS, GOOGL, FB, MFST, BIDU, & PHO, and an outlier BYD.UN which 2-3 stocks are most appealing for a recovery?

Cheers
Jerry and Debbie

Q: Regarding Photon, on a quick back of the napkin analysis it looks like the company is being valued at 2 times sales, once you strip out the cash.
Can you tell me what a typical multiple is?
It's astonishing that the company is back to 2016 valuations given all of the positive catalysts.

Q: Can you explain and justify what’s going on with Photon. I didn’t sell at the highs When I was up almost 100%, preferring to look more long term than trading. Now, for the first time, I am under water on it. I thought they were rolling out some new products that were supposed to do well and drive numbers up. Do you still see it as a long term (3-5 year) hold to get back to the $2+ range? Or do you see it as a missed opportunity, live and learn, sell and move on?
Thanks

Norman Levine picked NXP Semiconductor November 8 on Market Call. Are you able to provide an outlook on this company and the thesis that once arbitrage ends after the failed Qualcomm deal it is likely to increase in value? It seems very cheap right now. Many thanks.
