COMMENT
The last few weeks have been very eventful. There has been a decline in US political uncertainty and promising results from vaccines. There has been targeted lockdowns across the world as well. Looking further out, vaccines are coming and this will help the economy return to something like normal. Logistics will still be a problem short term.
COMMENT
Tech and communication, and consumer stocks remain the heaviest sectors invested. Cyclical stocks have done well too. He is starting to add back to normal stocks into the portfolio. Still overweighting the tech space.
BUY

Both telecom stocks in Canada and US have been stagnant to some extent. The runway for growth for wireless in Canada is very strong. It is more exposed to Shaw's move to wireless than BCE and Rogers. It is trading at 9x EBIDTA which is high, but the dividend is at 5% and the growth rate should increase. Good stock for income investor.

BUY
The company hopes to increase the value by 10 fold in 20 years. On an annualized basis, it is a 12% return on investment. It is attainable for electronic payment companies. The industry only surpassed cash a couple years ago. Still a lot of growth. Currently trading at 39x earnings which is hefty.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes e-commerce companies in China. There is better valuation and growth than US e-commerce companies. The ANT IPO stop has affected the stock. He would look at the 200-moving day average, which is around $240. You could start adding a position here. Makes sense longer-term.
COMMENT

A phenomenal name and the pandemic has accelerated revenue and growth. The PEG ratio is 2x. Comparing it to Alibaba and others in China, it is more expensive. However, there is less regulatory risk. Nothing wrong with it. He owns other e-commerce names in China. Better value could be out there.

COMMENT
A great company with good products and franchise. The valuation looks pricey at 30x earnings, with a 10% growth rate. Revenue growth looks less exciting when comparing to previous performance. In the future, he expects mid single-digit growth. There are other companies in the tech space that has better revenue growth and earnings.
DON'T BUY

Likes the home improvement space. All the vacation money has gone into the home. He prefers Home Depot. Their numbers looks better than Lowes'. He owns neither. Post-covid, he thinks the trend will continue.

DON'T BUY
It's run up and it is a momentum stock. 136x earnings with a 35% growth rate. The valuation points to 4x PEG ratio. Revenue growth is still strong with 46% next year. He would not pay the price at these levels. He thinks Toyota and other car brands will enter the EV space which is a risk for Tesla.
BUY

He owns KWEB for some of his clients. A higher beta, higher octane type of name. Longer term it makes a lot of sense since the penetration of the internet in China is much lower than NA. AIA is 50 largest names in Asia that has outside of China and includes other sectors like semiconductors and banks. AIA would be more conservative of the two.
