Q: Hello Peter and team,

Early December, you said DECK trades at 34X forward earnings, a bit expensive but you like it.

Looking at technicals, it is way above the 200 daily moving average. After the big run it has had for the last 2 years, do you think it would be better to wait before buying, expecting it to retrace back to the 200 DMA?

Do you think it still has room to go higher? What would be your target price?

Thank you!

Q: Many are feeling the market is high. Certainly, we can't expect another year of 20% growth.

I'm interested in a strategy of maintaining those gains. Does that mean pulling money out of stocks that seem overgrown, or does it mean investing new money into areas that have not been part of the recent rise.

What sectors do you think these are? I nominate well-known companies (especially tech and giants like Costco) as overgrown even if they are good companies, and energy and small cap as part of the second group.

How does this compare with your thinking?
