Q: I own small (2-3%) positions in Snowflake, MongoDB, and Datadog. Would you currently hold these stocks or sell them? If sold, what are some possible replacements in the tech sector?

If I were only to sell one, which holding would you let go of first and why?

Thanks.

Q: Happy New year to everyone!

My TFSA is strictly US growth. I'm looking at the software space as I'm tech oriented.

I do own MSFT, ORCL on it's recent decline.

Some of the players are fairly expensive or have some negative momentum. NOW, SNPS, CDNS are 3 candidates.

Would you have a preference of these looking forward accounting for current value etc?
A top tier selection that isn't one of these?

I'm looking for your thoughts and a reasonable entry. Of course this is 3+ year hold.

Thank you very much.

Q: Hi Team,
Two part question . What’s your thoughts on metas earnings and their big sell off today? Unjustified ? Buying opp , hold or sell?? Can you give your thoughts on the company? I would have hoped these trillion dollar companies would eventually quit moving like small caps. Unreal really .

Also can you give me your take on Now earnings and your thoughts on the company as well.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Recently a tech expert came on BNN and mentioned that going forward, it is the SaaS companies that will benefit from AI revolution. His top pick was ORCL. But he mentioned NOW and CRM as well in passing. I looked at these companies using Finviz's screener (free version!) and I see ORCL has a lot more debt than the other two.

What would be your choice? If not these three do you have any other favourites? Many thanks.
