Q: 1) For these listed firms, which ones have the strongest link to the nuclear energy field?
2) I have a fair sized holding in WSP but am eager to branch out for diversification purposes to either STN or ATRL. I see from other questions, 5i's seems to favour STN as a compliment to WSP. How strong is STN in the nuclear field (their website suggests some capability)?
With thanks.

Q: I have all three of these positions.

I'm happy to keep my capital invested in the Brookfield empire, but it feels inefficient and not thought out the way it sits in my portfolio, almost like a series of afterthoughts.

The breakdown of the three (as a % of their cumulative totals in my portfolio)

BN = 57%
BEPC = 8%
BEP.UN = 35%

(Ignoring the whole tax schmozzle with reg vs NR accounts),

Would you recommend any changes? That could include adding another Brookfield entity as a possibility.

Q: Hi 5i - Five years ago, you suggested that my son (now aged 31) invest his early career earnings in in NVDA, TTD, ROKU, DOCU, FLIR, TEAM, CRWD, KXS, SHOP, LSPD, GSY, DOO, BYD, REAL, DSG. He largely took your advice a few of your picks have skyrocketed. Most notably, the $2,500 USD he put into NVDA is now up almost 1,900%. At the five year mark, he is wondering if it's time to rebalance and sell some of this NVDA shares or if he should continue to hold. He worries that all good things must come to an end and would appreciate your input, since it served him so well in 2020. If you have any other suggestions of growth stocks (or particular picks from your Growth Model Portfolio) he would also be interested. Thanks.
