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.

Q: Good morning,

With demand continuing to outpace the supply and availability of semi conductors around the world with no end in sight, would this be good time to add a small position of a Semi Conductor ETF in my US$ Non Registered portfolio as part of my overall Technology sector weighing and if so, which of the two ETFs (XSD and SMH) would you recommend?
Thank you for your thoughts on this.

Q: I am down 21% on BABA and even more down on UPST and AFRM. At this point, with a plan to hold for 3-5 years, would it make sense for me to sell all my BABA and invest in UPST and AFRM. Which of the 2 is expected to have a better upside in 3-5 years? Which of the 2 is riskier?

Q: Hello Peter,

With ATVI trading 15% below the acquisition price, what would you say to selling SQ or PYPL or both? and investing the proceeds in ATVI for an approx 15% return in the next few months.

Both PYPL and SQ have been a long term holding for me and while I do expect both PYPL and SQ to bounce back a little I am not sure of a pop greater than 15%. Eventually I will have to decide between the two for a longer term hold. I would like your suggestion here.

ACTVI seems more certain although not 100 % risk free. So does this seem to be a good trade and an arbitrage opportunity?

I own SQ and PYPL in a 2:1 proportion.

Regards
Rajiv
