TOP PICK
For once, he's saying that they are undervalued. Free cash flow yield is over 4% after growing it at 30% annually for 10 years. It's cheap at these levels. Loves the managers. (Analysts’ price target is $1670.00)
HOLD

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/19, Up 29%) If you believe interest rates will continue to be low, the company's business model is very attractive. It can use the cashflow to continue acquiring software companies. It will probably become an enormous company and continue to grow. It is undervalued.
BUY

Canadian tech stocks (DOKS - Descartes, Open Text, Kinaxis, Shopify) as a buy-and-hold strategy? His favourite among this narrow class of stocks is CSU. They make good acquisitions shrewdly, which made them grow into the dominant Canadian name. It's a better bet until Shopify starts being consistently profitable.

TOP PICK
It is his largest position and he has owned it since 2014. The management team is one of the best on the planet. They continue to acquire and integrate software companies. Roll up strategies can be disastrous, but some do it very well, not getting distracted. (Analysts’ price target is $1598.11)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/19, Up 21%) The whole group has gone up and so has this one. It made a bigger acquisition in Europe and wants to now spin off this company to make more acquisitions. It is not expensive.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He has added to his portfolios over the last 6 months. It is an interesting software company. They sell niche products. It grows by acquisition. They are a cash cow and could pay a dividend but they are rolling up the industry successfully. Don’t chase it here. Buy a quarter of your position and then the rest on a check back in the markets.
COMMENT

Canadian tech? OTEX and SHOP would be good Canadian tech companies, along with CSU. All well situated for the cloud and e-commerce. He expects to see a market correction, so would wait for lower pricing.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 02/19, Up 16%) A huge fan. Amazing management. They continue to buy software companies. They see a large runway for growth ahead and want to buy more. 3.5% is their free cash flow yield. Watch their upcoming AGM.
TOP PICK
You want software companies with good revenues streams and good balance sheets. About 69% of their revenue is recurring. They have done good acquisition and have ammunition to do more in this distressed environment. He thinks earnings will grow by over 20% going forward. Yield 0.42% (Analysts’ price target is $1566.22)
WAIT
He once owned it, did well, and took profits in late-2019. Will be interesting to see how CSU maneuvers the next few months. They acquire lucrative runway companies at a discount--and those are now trading at discount. He expects CSU to buy in coming months. An interesting play, but a little early to enter CSU.
HOLD
One of his favorites. Volatility is common with this one. They are a vertical market software company, having very specific software for niche customers. This makes it very hard to compete against them. The contracts tend to be higher margin as well. The concern people have is that now they are as big as they are, can they keep the runway going? He thinks so.
HOLD
He does not own this one. He sold it about $120 ago and he kicks himself for it. Their business thesis is about business acquisitions and when he say them slowing down on that front he decided to take profit. A holder may consider some option strategies like covered calls.
