Q: hello 5i:
Took some profits at an opportune time in AVGO and PANW. I'd like to stay in the tech space with the proceeds (still have half positions in the 2 sold) and was considering some stocks you like. I left out NVDA as AVGO is in that space. Which do you like best between ADBE and QCOM, assuming they are 2 of your favourites, and why.
thanks

Q: I am interested in investing part of my TFSA in cyber security US/Canada stocks/ETFs.
Are Cyber Security ETF (CYBR-T) and Evolve Cyber Security ETF (CAD Hedged) good buy? Are CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) good buy at their current price levels and are they high risk/high valuation, strong growth stocks?
Please provide the preference of your choices of three cyber security stocks and three ETFs and rank them, and brief reasons why you choose those stocks/ETFs. Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
We recently sold U: 50% gain and a bit too high valuation for us. To quote Peter: we would reduce very expensive growth stock exposure. Current tech holdings are CSU, PANW, AVGO, OTEX, TOI and DND; the latter 2 being about 1% positions. We would like to replace U with something "less" exciting and are considering TCS, APPS and QCOM as you seem to favour these stocks (like others, I read the questions/answers daily). TCS is very appealing as it looks to have a moat within the health care sector, but we also own VEEV and WELL. Is there too much overlap here? APPS is a volatile trader and not really in our wheelhouse, but is of interest. Can you make a suggestion as to how you'd replace U?
thanks

Q: Peter,

Cyber security seems to be a bigger and bigger threat. Is it worth getting involved in this space? If so, is it covered by the big tech names such as Microsoft, Apple etc or is it worth looking at specific ETF such as CYBR? Are there any stocks names that are interesting?

Thank you,

Q: hello 5i:
Owning "best of breed" or "best in class" is always factored into decisions in purchasing shares. Having held PANW for a number of years, and happy with results, I nevertheless wonder if selling and buying CRWD in its place, would be a strategy you'd see as beneficial. Discussion on the pros/cons would be helpful.
always listening
