Wondering what summer trends and stocks to look out for during the “school’s out” season? Allan Small, senior investment advisor of the Allan Small Investment Group with iA Private Wealth, joins Coreena Robertson in the above video to discuss trends in stocks and market action during the summer.

Small looks at the technology trends and artificial intelligence as well as the influence of summer vacation on investors.

On the technology side, Small discusses the Magnificent Seven, doing a “mini-dive” into Apple, Tesla, Google and Meta. He also makes the point of focusing on chip makers, such as Nvidia and AMD while also considering the “hyperscalers” – companies such as Google and Amazon.

In addition, Small shares his thoughts on companies in the cybersecurity space.
