Q: Can I get your thoughts on these two companies? How do they compare in fundamentals, valuation and growth prospects? Honestly I didn’t think PTON would do this well because of the price point and if Covid didn’t come, I don’t think the stock would be where it is today. PTON been growing lots lately and with LULU buying Mirror recently, do you think this theme of convenience at home fitness will continue into the future after things return to normal? Would you be a buyer now and which one would you buy and why? Half or full position? Looking for long term growth. Thanks!

Q: I have these 7 stocks, they comprise about 30% of the equities I own, in part because the their stellar performance in recent months. Two parts to my question: first, though they are all categorized as "tech" ( well, maybe not Goog), I am trying to get a sense of how different they might be from each other so that 30% is better diversified than the label they fall under might suggest? Can you briefly describe the underlying businesses of the 3 Cdn ones and indicate if you see all 7 as diversified. Second, if the stock market should hit another significant pull back (like March or otherwise), would these 7 be resilient enough to avoid major losses, and are some better than others in this regard? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Thx for all your terrific guidance. I am looking to add two more growth names. I am deciding between AVLR, XBC and ABBV. What would you rank them in order for strongest growth, and secondly what would you rank them from least risky to highest risk.

Thanks so much,
Brian

Q: The TSGI/Flutter conversion closed May 5, but the proceeds of the conversion have still not shown up in my account. Below is the response from my investment firm received on July 5.

"Thank you for your message.
In regards to TSGI/Flutter transaction, the reason for the long delay is because Flutters shares trade on the London Exchange and we are still waiting for the shares to be received. I believe I may have spoken to you originally regarding this and such transactions typically do take up to 10 business days to be completed.
I have now heard that when dealing with foreign stock takeovers the delay can be much longer than that and we have submitted everything required for our clients to have the shares received. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for them so it's hard to say how much longer exactly it will take to receive the shares.
Regards,
Steve
Investment Representative"

Could you please comment if in your experience their explanation is reasonable or any recommended action I could take to expedite the process? Have you had other clients identify this issue?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,
Thank you for the service that you provide, it's been invaluable.
I currently have held JPM for the last few years and it's effectively been a net gain of zero. I think it might be time to move on for a bit and perhaps look to buy back at a later date. We already hold VEEV, AYX, TEAM, DOCU, TTD, NVDA, and QCOM, so I'm looking for a non-tech suggestion as to where to move. I'm hoping that you could provide a list of 2-3 quickly growing large(ish) US companies that ideally are near debt free and meet this criteria.
Thank you again,
Mike

Q: Granted that these companies differ in dividend (only with AD), size (DOO largest, AD smallest) and type of business (sports equipment, fashion products, and equity financing to private companies), how would you rank these four stocks for future growth runway today (highest to lowest) if sector was not a consideration? Thanks for your valued input!
