Q: Twice in the last two weeks you've been asked to provide your list of top 10 stocks with the highest conviction over the next 5-10 years. The lists have been the same, with one exception. The earlier list had ISRG on it; the most recent list replaced ISRG with IFC. Are you losing faith in ISRG?

Q: I need to do some portfolio rebalancing. I want to increase weghtings in Basic Materials, Consumer Defensive and Health care. Could you please give me your top 3 picks in each category for a 3 - 5 year hold. Canadian or US stocks are fine.

Take as many credits as you think appropriate.

Q: Good evening,

I am wondering if you have any possible suggestions regarding companies that focus predominately in the application layer or operate full-stack models of AI.

The reason why I am asking this is because of an article entitled: "AI's revolution is just beginning" in Sunday's Globe and Mail. Sadly, there are a few parts that I don't fully comprehend which unfortunately prevents me from investigating more fully. A starting point would be great!

Take a peek to the article as it draws parallels to the dot com/internet crash of the 2000s.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I may begin to investigate.

Conversely, state any points you think should be taken with a grain of salt!

Thanks!
Arturo
