DON'T BUY
A great business with lots of new customers. He's a Growth at a Reasonable Price investor (GARP), so he can't justify buying it now at this price. Sure, it may hit $300 later this year, but it doesn't fit his strategy.
DON'T BUY
They're in a great space and appear to do it well. It's a high-growth and -momentum name, which is not her style of stock. It has had stumbles in the past and has come off sharply. High-growth but the valuation keeps her on the sidelines.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It has had a fairly large run-up recently. The valuation is extremely high. If you look at the sales they are at about 19 times trailing sales, making the stock price seem high. Wait for a large dip in the stock price. (Analysts’ price target is $245.00)
HOLD
It's had a huge breakout to the high side. Who knows where it'll go? The chart looks fantastic. You can take partial profits or just hold.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Too pricey now at $248, though he loves this stock. It's up 595% since its 2015 IPO. He trades this in the US. He would buy it 12-20% lower than present levels. Has a great business model.
DON'T BUY
Has the run-up been too far, too fast? He sold it last summer around $223 due to high expectations and valuation. The stock was struggling to break above $230. It's a a volatile stock that plunged to $160 in December 2018. The valuation is now about 1000x PE. Will this be the next Amazon--or not? If not, then it's likely overvalued. True, Shopify is likely the best homegrown tech story in Canada. If you own this, lighten up now. If you don't, then sit on your hands.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Can it sustain its crazy multiple? It's 10-11x revenue. Its multiple is peaking to the point where it'll be hard to make money at these levels. Buy this below $200 and sell it above $210-240. They can sustain this multiple if they can keep growing revenues. Caveat: the multiple is vulnerable to one bad quarter or a recession. No room for error.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Was in an uptrend in 2017, then in a slightly descending price channel in 2018. It's broken out of that recently, which is good. But it's overbought given a sharp rise. It'll probably return to its trade channel's lower end around $150.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
This chart looks fantastic. We bottomed in December. Support is around $220. He sees weakness in the next week or so and that would be a great opportunity to pick it up on weakness.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A name they owned since $40. Last quarter was a beat but their guidance didn't meet the street expectations. he models 55% earning growth. he wouldn't buy it at this level. As long as they execute well you can buy on weakness as their addressable market is huge. (Analysts’ price target is $246.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/17, Up 79%) It is one of the world leaders in the e-commerce space. It is well on to 1 million customers. It is always an expensive stock. It has $1.5 billion in cash.
TOP PICK
A world leader that is executing well on its strategy. The standard for e-commerce if you are going to sell online. He expects their EPS to double by 2020. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $246.89)
BUY
Volatile with serious moves, like today up 2%. It's starting to break above resistance, which is good. This could very well break out to new highs, because it's still charting higher. Overall, the Canadian tech sector is amazing. Good for the long term.
BUY
Great Canadian success story. Not cheap, and extremely volatile. But it's resilient and has always bounced back. He'd continue to buy. It's a high multiple stock, so gets hit harder when the market gets hit.
COMMENT
For a volatile stock, this has hit a wall at the bottom. Complicated. It's had a huge run, but it's been very volatile lately. It could rise to $240, maybe. It's hanging into a tighter range more than ever and now behaving like a typical stock.
