He sold all his Micron last Monday and made a good profit. He bought it at $350. Do I want to be piggish and keep holding or take a profit? He took profits.
Trades at 20x PE, but has gone from huge free cash flow to low. But they have $200 billion revenue from their social media business, which is growing at 28%. It will probably return to free cash flow positive. The CEO will prove that he's focused on efficiency. It's the only Mag 7 stock she will buy.
Blackwell continues to outpace; demand is unbelievable and are now approaching $100 billion per quarter.
They execute. Their PE hasn't been this low since late 2022/early 2023.
It's been a big train wreck of a year with conflicts on and conflicts off. If peace breaks out, funds that flowed into energy will exit amid profit-taking and flow to other sectors of the economy.
The under-appreciated risks include potentially higher interest rates in the US. That would put the Canadian dollar under pressure. Will the BOC have to defend that? There's a limit to how far we can allow our dollar to fall.
There are some issues with regard to the US labour market. Starting to see a bit of weakness in job creation. Participation rate is down. Average growth in hourly wages is marginally in the black. That could be a harbinger. Usually when the labour market rolls over it tends to be a bad signal.
By and large, US market's going with the theme that AI's going to take over the world. There's a lot of opportunity now, especially with cash reserves that people have from taking profits.

Very tax efficient, as you're getting the dividend from the stocks plus the covered call premium overlay on top (typically a return of capital, so it's really a deferred capital gain). You can hold them within an RRSP or TFSA, but the tax efficiency obviously works well for non-registered accounts.
The question then becomes whether you should hold covered call strategies? The providers always highlight the tremendous yields. But when you start stacking them against the underlying securities, you're better off holding the underlying securities more often than not. As the options get struck, you miss out on the upside.
If you need income, and that's the most important thing for you, then covered call strategies can make sense. But don't get lured by the high, fantastic yield being promoted.

We again reiterate GL as a TOP PICK. The insurance provider recently reported book value per share has increased 20% annually over the past two years. It trades at 12x earnings, 2.3x book and supports a 20% ROE. Quarterly cash reserves are growing while shares are aggressively bought back, albeit using slightly more debt. We continue to recommend a stop at $165, looking to achieve $208 -- upside potential of 16%. Yield 0.6%

At the end of 2025 and into 2026, we saw a really big commodity run. That trade has gotten a bit crowded, with the result that stock prices really swing. She'd stay away from the space right now. In general, you need a large risk appetite to be here.
