Q: What are your thoughts on Haivision? The 4th quarter results released on Jan 14th looked very strong, and the company turned a nice profit, with good revenue growth. The stock has increased about 60% since then. Is it worth a speculative buy here, or better to wait and see another couple of quarterly results?

I occasionally listen to Lance Robert's posts. Today was one of those days and anyone worried about the software sector may find part of this video interesting to watch. He answers a question from his audience about A.I. and the sell off in software stocks at the 15 minute mark approximately.

Q: Hi,

Hopefully this question is general enough to not be considered personal advice!

I've done very well with Zedcor and Kraken (thank you!). You often mention their high valuations. I wouldn't mind taking some profits to put elsewhere.

Given the recent sharp decline (especially Kraken), would you say it's still richly valued enough to sell a bit? Or might it be better to wait for a rebound, given its volatility?
