Q: Good morning,

I currently have AXP, V, MA and PYPL in my portfolio. I’m wondering if I should sell something to reduce redundancy and if so, in which order, given the outlook for growth?

Also in the same sector, I have on my watchlist AFRM, NVEI and SQ, all of which seem to have a long runway ahead. Should I add one or more of these new names either by selling from the first group or just as an add?

I’m new to this forum and I’m very appreciative of your insights. Thank you in advance!

Doris

Q: The markets pre-COVID were rising at a reasonable rate year to year, with the odd market downturn. Since March/April 2020 the markets have shot up and stocks are trading at much higher multiples than pre-COVID. Eventually, reality may kick-in. There are many companies trading at very high evaluations. If you look at the overall market (i.e. Nasdaq) you see an exponential growth curve for the past 18 months, definitely not sustainable and possibly overpriced.? I still buy stocks but sometimes feel that if the market turns around, it could be years for it to come back. (I am more concerned about companies such as SHOP, NVEI, TTD, LSPD, NVDA, TOI, UPST, ... all of which are great companies but if we overpay, payback could be much more than 5 years.) I thought same about Netflix, I was totally wrong and missed out on one of the biggest lifetime opportunities BUT there must be a point where the price is definitely too high. Are we overpaying? Will we regret this at some point? Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: Peter and team,

I use the US side of my portfolio mainly for growth opposed to CDN for income and some growth. Thinking of a switch from docu to affirm looks like good money to be made in this one. Can you give a comparison between the 2 and do you think affirm is a better investment now?

I've hit the highest ever by far in my portfolio this year akin to your father in law thanks in very large part to your recommendations.

From a very grateful many years standing customer!

Q: In my non-registered account I have tried to build a diversified portfolio of "set-and-forget" dividend-paying stocks. I do not need the dividends currently, all are being DRIPped.
Recognizing that I'd be giving up some dividend return, what are your thoughts on replacing BEP in the portfolio with BAM?
I already own AQN in the renewables space, and ACO.X & FTS in the utilities space.
Thanks you for your insight.

Q: I got into upstart about 5 weeks ago and it has since increased 78%. Is this a hot potato where I should take at least some (taxable) profits? It's pushing 6% of my equity. I guess my real question is given the tear this has been on, would you be more skittish and pull the take profits button here earlier than normal. Thanks.
