Kim Bolton

Too early to say. But he's lightened up a lot on the software side, mainly because the market has told him to lighten up. The likes of NOW, CRM, and ADBE -- the kings of the hill in the software sector.

The ones that are doing the best are the ones embracing AI. 

No. The effect is going to carry on, as Trump's only 6 months into his tenure. So we have another 3.5 years, and his operating memorandum is all about tariffs. That's how he gains leverage and forces people to do what he wants them to do.

He started with INTC at 15%, and so he's making some money. That's pushing it a bit too far. The legal side is starting to weigh in and say that he's overstepped his authority. But he'll look for another way, same as he's doing with the Fed.

A lot going for it, as it's involved in the networking space. Massive company at almost $50B, considering it IPO'd only 6 months ago. His price target is $123. He'd pick it up if it got down to low-mid $80s.

More a trade than an investment. He bought in the last 6 weeks because it's really embraced AI -- similar to NFLX, allows you to customize your choices. 12-month price target of $749, so about $30 left.

12-month price target of $620. Analysts are having a hard time keeping up with price targets, because everything is dramatically changing with AI every day -- new relationships, new innovations. This one is about global advertising app monetization. $190B market cap right now.

Price target is $275, not that far away. Instead of price targets, he's recently started to use mental (not hardwired in) trailing stops for the mega-caps. His mental stop for this one is $230; if it goes below that, something pretty dramatic must be happening.

12-month price target of $805, lots of room. This name is in the top 10 of his fund and in separate growth portfolios. He holds onto all of the 10, but just rebalances. Pendulum in tech has swung to the hardware side, capex indicates it's going to stay that way, and META's in the right place.

Bit of trivia:  Zuckerberg actually bought a small software company on Spadina Ave. in Toronto, named Meta, for the name. He had a grand vision for his company and he wanted the name.

Very linked to AAPL and the smartphone market. A lot of those companies are starting to do chips in-house. Dirt cheap, but there's a reason for that. Other opportunities elsewhere.

Trading way above average analyst's price target. A good example of a time to use those mental trailing stops rather than price targets. That $270 level is key.

Pretty evenly priced, as the average price target is $49.25. If you own it, look to write some calls of 1-2 weeks with a strike price of $55-60. Keep your eye on it, as you probably don't want to get called away.

Purchase of Red Hat really put them in the cloud and data centre business, saved them. Over last couple of years, execution of business plan was perfect. But more recently, especially in Q2 earnings, execution faltered. He's been adding in the $240 area. 12-month price target of $314.

12-month price target is $375, and he'd probably write some call options on it. Elephant in the room is SNPS, which has taken off since its purchase of a British firm. 

The space is doing fantastically well. Great franchises, an absolute money machine. There's a rule to buy software companies when growth + margins = 40 or more. For EA, this number is 94. July 29 report beat on top and bottom and raised guidance.

No concerns at all. Hold on. Perfect candidate to write some shorter-dated calls at 4-5% higher, but also sell some puts. This strategy will make you some income on both sides. If you get hit on the put, it's probably a pretty good buy.
