Q: Hi I was hoping you could clarify an answer you provided on January 7th about NVDA and trimming below 10%. In past, you have said “ let winners run.”
I’m torn with which approach to take as it seems contradicting. I do hold a very large position in NVDA (exceeding 10%) and need some clarity. Thanks so much.

Q: I am planning to deploy the $7000 in the TFSA sometime next week. The TFSA is growth focused and for a long term hold (5-10+ years).
These are the 3 names I am thinking of adding to:
CSU - today's price is $4400 ish
BN - today's price is $82 - $83 ish.
NVDA - today's price is $144 USD ish.
Due to CSU's high price tag, I can only add to 2 of the 3 names. Which 2 names would you add to, at today's prices?

Q: I have a question regarding bought deals.....is it wrong to think of them as setting a 'floor' on stock prices in the short term with the reason being that if some organisation bought a large multi-million position in the company at a discounted price (usually vs the current market price) that it would mean that they value the company at least the purchase price of the stock but would most likely believe it has room to grow.
Therefore, you could see this is a potential short-term ceiling on the price of the shares and that 'value' is seen by others at this price? I also realise it may take away some of the demand for the stock as the 'news' settles but I'm curious what I can learn from reading the 'bought deal' news announcements.
Am I missing anything and what 'insight' can you read into a bought deal?
Happy new year and thanks for your help as always!

Can you please clarify what the terms "derivative buy" and "equity swap" mean ?

Q: hi,
the TSX 10 years ago (jan 2014 ) was around 14,673. using the current price as I write ( 24,817 ) gives an annual rate of return based on these numbers is less than 3.5%! I assume that the dividends are not included in the numbers I provided ( from globe investor chart )? is this correct? do you have numbers for the average TSX dividend yield over the last 10 years? this compares with ( using same "method" as above with TSX ) with the S&P500 doing approximately 11.7% annual return over the last 10 years ( again, not sure if this includes the average dividend yield of the S&P500 in the numbers?). a snapshot in time of course, but illustrating the gross underperformance of the TSX in comparison the US markets ( nothing new here ). can you provide current valuation data/analyses for the TSX and S&P500 and comparisons to historic valuations please. Can you please include valuation methods of the "Fed-model" (and CDN equivalent), Ben Graham, Buffet, Schiller and other "big names" one might use please...
all the best
