PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 06/24, Up 18%)

Cybersecurity is a mega-trend long term. Bit expensive at 50x forward PE for 13% growth, and that growth rate has come down. That's why he sold. Great channel of higher highs and higher lows.

BUY

Forward PE ~31x, and it will always be at a premium because the space has very few competitors. Stock's near oversold at this point, slightly below 200-day. 200-day MA and 200-week MA are both still trending higher, so long-term this name is fine.

Right now, market is trading on news not fundamentals. This name is 16% below recent highs. Buy now and you'll be happy 6-24 months out. Economic slowdown will affect consumer. Who knows what tariffs will look like down the road?

WATCH

A name in tech that continues to make sense because of strength and scale. Trading close to its 200-week MA, a very important long-term support level. If it bounces off that, will do very well. Paying 17x PE for 12% earnings growth, not really expensive for a name like this. 

Giant in Search; AI is in early stages and can only improve their products. Cloud business growing quickly. Hardware space is growing too.

DON'T BUY
Gold.

He's not a big buyer in the gold space. His models look for intrinsic value. Gold does not have a dividend or cashflow or a revenue stream. It has done extremely well over the last year, but historical volatility can be tough.

That being said, XGD or GDX are probably your best bets.

RISKY

He's not a big buyer in the gold space. His models look for intrinsic value. Gold does not have a dividend or cashflow or a revenue stream. Lots of excitement in the space, but it can be volatile over its history. 

That being said, XGD or GDX are probably your best bets.

BUY

Likes the financial sector in the US. In his opinion, it's one of the top sectors on a go-forward basis. 200-week MA has started to turn upwards, with 200-day trending higher as well. Looking beyond tariffs to deregulation and tax cuts, those moves will benefit some of the names in this ETF. MER is only 8 bps.

Great way to get exposure to all the major bank names as well as BRK.B.

DON'T BUY

Previous high flyer, down 33% from recent highs. High beta and stretched valuation. 152x (yes, that's right) forward PE for 31% growth. Attracts a certain aura given that it's in AI and defense with inelastic demand.

TOP PICK

Tech leader, but beaten up badly due to tariff concerns. Down ~30% from recent highs. Iconic brand, strong cashflow, loyal customer base. Giant revenue generator. Services segment has very high margins, is expanding, with very stable revenue stream. That will cushion all the near-term uncertainties. Pricing power. 

Actively diversifying production outside of China. Wearables are part of the growthier area of the business. Right at the 200-week MA of long-term support. Pretty good medium- and long-term entry point. Solid balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation. Steady 15% earnings growth going forward. Yield is 0.52%.

(Analysts’ price target is $239.68)
TOP PICK

Leader in the space. Online travel booking is a key element in the industry. Travel is resilient, and it has long-term demographic trends in its favour. Work-from-home can just as easily be work-from-Bermuda. 

Share drop is overdone. Now near 200-week MA. High-quality name. Earnings growth projected at 20% going forward. Strong cashflow. Online platform means it doesn't have to worry about capital expenditures. Yield is 1.05%.

(Analysts’ price target is $208.08)
TOP PICK

Mitigates concentration risk from the top 10 names that you usually see in the S&P market-weighted index. Takes you away from the mega-cap stocks. Broader sector participation, more industrials and financials and consumer staples than the market-weighted index.

Down 17% from recent highs, and down to the 200-week MA. Long term, the US economy is a powerhouse and you can't really ever bet against it. It's the strongest and biggest economy in the world, and very resilient. MER is 26 bps. There's also a US version and a hedged version.
