Q: What are your thoughts on the software industry sell-off being an M&A catalyst? Any ideas on target companies being taken out?

Q: I'm curious about companies that have been rather lacklustre but somehow have experienced some catalyst that has allowed them to gain their footing once again and recently started to move up in value considerably. Not worried about size of company nor what sector they are in could you suggest 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that fit the bill.

Q: Hello , following is my list of losers .. and I am assessing which ones to sell this month for YE capital loss. I appreciate your comments.

As an aside; in watching the huge drop in some of these stocks, one certainly wonders about the wisdom of their CEO's ... as an example META, they are spending billions on Metaverse so that people can work and play and interact in virtual reality .. maybe in the year 2050 !!. and many others that just didn't adopt their businesses to people post Covid returning to work and shop at malls... truly incompetent .. For me, this crash has convinced me to buy shares in companies that are making money and have a strong management team.

Thank you
Carlo R.

Q: What do you think about ASAN at these levels and valuation re-rating in the tech arena ! I am wondering if it will have a big bounce on any upcoming recovery, even if a brief bear market rally....to exit my final portion, or to keep for longer term growth recovery? Thx !

Q: I am looking to find some software stocks with excellent Net Revenue Retention rates and strong revenue growth that should make for bounce candidates/long-term compounders if the tech market turns. What are some of your favourite CAD and USD names with NRR above 110% and revenue growth of at least 30%?

Do you like any of SMAR, ASAN or MNDY?

Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have a small amount of funds available to invest inside my TFSA. I already hold a small position of TOI (26 shares) and really like the company. I'm looking to either: add to the TOI position, or start a new position in NVEI or ASAN. They all seem quite pricey with current valuations (with NVEI and ASAN rising sharply in the past few days). Based on current valuation, which do you prefer for a minimum 5-year hold. Risk tolerance high.

Thanks

Q: I bought Asana on the advice of a professional who uses their software, and on their momentum and sector momentum. I'd like to buy Unity software (U) and was thinking to sell ASAN concomitantly. Is that a reasonable tradeoff or should I make room for both by trimming a Chip holding like Micron? I am not selling NVDA!
