Q: What is causing Flutter to sputter and does it still have the potential to soar like SCORE? Still a buy, in reach of a higher high?

With other gambling names reaching new high after new high, it seems odd that Flutter has lost its momentum.......would love your comments and insights.

As well - what caused NEXE to gain 24% yesterday and is it a BUY?

Thanks

Q: Hello team,

Of the 3 companies above, BEAM has 3 times more shares sold short (18% of the float) but all three have been on a run.
If you could buy only one which one would you choose today as a great company for a long-term hold and which one you would rather avoid? And of course why?

Thanks for making investment accessible for ordinary people.

Q: Hi there, I just read the following post on Motley Fool Canada (18 Top TSX Stocks to Buy for 2021 and Beyond), one of eighteen top picks by their writers for 2021 is BUS. Is there way too much hype here, or maybe some truth to it but with lower expectation? Would like your thoughts on what the writer says below?
Thanks!

Grande West Transportation (TSXV:BUS) is a Canadian mid-sized bus manufacturer that is set to enjoy phenomenal revenue growth after entering the battery-electric bus market this year. The tiny company started receiving large bus orders from the United States late last year and its has a sizable delivery backlog to be cleared during the first half of 2021 that will boost liquidity and profitability in 2021.

Production capacity is increasing significantly and EV bus demand in North America is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 28.5% between 2020 and 2030. Management anticipates rapid EV bus sales growth in the near future. Grande West could experience exponential business growth post-COVID-19.

The EV bus launch attracted market attention for the nano-cap stock and its shares have doubled during the first two weeks of trading in 2021. Momentum remains strong for another triple-digit return this year.

Fool contributor Brian P..... has no position in the stock mentioned.

Q: My SHOP and LSPD positions have grown to 7% and 6% of my portfolio, looking to trim the positions slightly and add to some smaller weights in my portfolio with long term high growth. How would you rank as the best to add to currently out of NVEI, FB, AMZN, VEEV, CSU, DOCU or AT? This would be for TFSA.

Also for smaller caps like WELL and XBC, would would you consider as full positions? In the 3-5% range depending on one's risk tolerance? Thanks!

Q: I am moving my TFSA (~$75,000) from a mutual fund company to Questrade and would like to invest following your 5i Growth portfolio. My horizon is 7 to 10 years. Being a new DIY investor, I am not sure of the number of stocks to purchase based on the size of my TFSA. Could you please suggest the number of stocks to buy, and a cross-section of specific growth stocks at this time? Thanks!

Q: I have held LSPD and GSY for quite a while now in an RRSP and RESP respectively with still 10 plus year timelines on those portfolios. I purchased LSPD at about $33 (it's now around $90) and GSY at about $50 (it's over $100 now) and I have taken some profits out along the way. Do you see these two continuing to do really well? I'm wondering if you would recommend just holding onto my remaining shares for the foreseeable future (say another 1-3 years) or would it make sense to sell while ahead and put that money in something with a bit more growth potential? THX, Jeff

Q: In your answer to a question recently asked on Genomics, your suggestion was to buy an ETF such as ARKG or EAGB. You also mentioned that if so inclined you could start adding small amounts in specific stocks which of course be riskier. Would you be able to suggest 3 or 4 of these stocks either US or Canadian, preferably at least one of each.

Q: I own DCBO and I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the company. I have about a 1/2 position and because it has taken quite a drop lately I’m wondering whether this is an opportunity to add to it or should I hold off until the quarter earnings come out. Has anything changed lately, why the drop? What is your opinion of this company.

Second question—WELL has kind of slowed down in the last three months even though they have purchased one or two companies. Could you give me your opinion whether it would be a good time to add another 1/2 position. What are your thoughts on well?

Thanks for any help you can give me on these 2 stocks. .

Q: Looking for growth companies to increase returns on my portfolio. I have chosen these four companies knowing fully well they can be volatile. Are there any reasons you wouldn't buy any one of them at these levels? My intention is to buy them as a 'growth basket'. If you think others might have more potential, please feel free to suggest them.
