COMMENT
What's market telling you right now? It's decently positioned. Canadian market hasn't gone up a lot over the last 5 years. So Canada has more upside than the US, because of valuations. In the current decade, energy and materials represent only 25% of the TSX, a decrease. TSX is neglected among the world indices. Valuations are very attractive. Since 2010, S&P has done 3x better than the Canadian side. Financials are the biggest sector, but are still trading at lower valuations than the norm. International investors have turned their backs on Canada in energy. So this is an opportunity.

Has had a big run this year, because of less competition due to a merger. Plus, acquisitions this year have investors excited. Not the time to buy now. There's room to keep growing. It's a growing industry, as more technology is impacted with each fender bender. Insurance companies want to deal with companies that have more scale, which also benefits them.

COMMENT
Still migrating toward services, which have much higher profit margins. iPhone sales expected to drop about 10%, so the stock will probably move sideways this year. Service revenue is also more consistent. Long-term upside. Apple and Samsung really have the market cornered because of US restrictions on phones from China.

DON'T BUY
Hype never lasts for ever, just as great fear doesn't. Stock is up 3x since IPO. Stock has increased likelihood of falling back. A product that can be replicated by others. They're focusing on their brand, and we'll have to see if this works out. The company will continue to do well, but the company and the stock are detached.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/18, Down 0.1%) Has recovered a lot this year. Most recent quarter was simple and clean. What's holding the stock back this year are the huge capital expenditures. By the end of this year, revenue and EPS should grow. "Checkout" system represents a more seamless interaction from Instagram.

WAIT
Came off, but has come back up. His question is when to buy? It's actually succeeding in the US. Well positioned between affordable luxury and fast fashion. Traffic is impressive. They've never had to close a store in 35 years due to failure. 20 consecutive years of increasing revenues. He's waiting for a stumble as an opportunity to buy.

WATCH
Focusing on the connected car. Challenge of trying to replace the great legacy product of their successful phone. It's the right sector, as it's a huge industry, but it's early stages. Revenues have to catch up to valuations. A lot of upside if they succeed. Tech acquisitions are notorious for failure, so you have to be cautious about that.
