(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 92%) Still likes it very much. Still lots of value in the FANG stocks. Back to pre-pandemic levels. Regulation is the big concern. Isolating the various pieces like YouTube and Waymo could result in even greater value.

(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 58%) World leader in offshore wind. Leader in sustainability. Poster child for ESG. Pure play renewable.
Stock's sold off. It's a pure play on renewables, and this makes it more susceptible to rising rates. Risk of rising competition is overblown. Still bullish long-term. Yield is 1.21%. (Price target in Danish krone.) (Analysts’ price target is $1145.40)
One of his favourite semi companies. Continues taking market share from Intel. Massive revenue growth expectations. Xilinx acquisition adds a lot. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $101.03)

Are the tech stocks finally rolling over? Not so sure. When the NASDAQ was getting into correction territory, it looked as though tech would go down, but tech had a big bounce yesterday. Recent moves reflect the rotation in the market. People are favouring stocks more levered to a reopening economy. He's finding a lot of value in tech recently, which hasn't been true for a while.

What about the cyclicals such as materials, chemicals, and transport, which traditionally benefit from an economic uptick? He has exposure to these areas, as well as to Canadian real estate. Fundamentals will improve. Hitting fresh all-time highs is a good sign. But how much has already been priced in? When some of the more rate-sensitives sell off, he's seeing some good opportunities, such as in utilities and renewables.

Finally looks cheaper. Has advantages that put it at the front of EV trends. It's fully vertically integrated to make only electric vehicles. The others have to catch up. Manufacturing capabilities are great. Ahead of the game in software, autonomous driving, batteries. Lots to like. Will be around for a long time.

Engineering in the industrial sector. Finds the energy spinoff more interesting. Gives you exposure to classic gas turbines, as well as to one of the biggest wind turbines in the world. Neat way to play economic recovery, while getting exposure to renewables. Always consider liquidity of the ADR when looking at dual listings.

One of those you can potentially hold forever unless something goes wrong. He's not interested in the car business. Likes AAPL for other reasons. The iPhone is well positioned for upgrades because of 5G. Services side continues to grow. Loyal customers for the Watch and AirPods. Chip design in-house is exciting.

Canadian pipelines still offer value. We still rely on fossil fuels and will for a long time. Difficulty in building new infrastructure raises the value of existing infrastructure. TRP and ENB can offer good profitability, sizable dividend yields. Prefers ENB, but likes both.

Great company. Stock's done well as they've switched to a subscription model. Once you depend on using the products, you're in it for life. For example, gets students interested early. Well positioned going forward.

(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 92%) Still likes it very much. Still lots of value in the FANG stocks. Back to pre-pandemic levels. Regulation is the big concern. Isolating the various pieces like YouTube and Waymo could result in even greater value.
