Q: I got caught in the recent drop with too much US tech. I have positions in these companies, all down more than 50%. I don't need to consolidate, but could if it means a stronger recovery. Looking toward a recovery in the market, do you see any holdings that have a lesser chance of recovery, that should be sold to add to another position that has a better chance of recovery? Thanks!

Q: Some time ago i asked a question regarding the merits of holding a handful of us stocks along with my US etf’s, in order to get a little extra boost. You were ok with the strategy but cautioned against the kind of stocks I held i.e. Google, nvidia, msft, Costco, abbivie. While they were good stocks you said that the problem is that they are well represented in the various etf’s and that if i wanted a “kicker” to provide boost that I should go smaller in size. I wonder if you could provide a handful of stocks that would fit that criterion and would be ones that one would want to own long term. If they were also good candidates for selling options on that would be an added bonus. Thanks for your expertise and advice.

Q: I'm considering taking a position in one or more of the following EV infrastructure roll out companies most of which have been around for a number of years now. How would you rate them, first, in terms of business plan and management effectiveness as well as potential future growth prospects but but also in terms of their financials, safety as an investment and finally in relation to technological superiority if that is a relevant consideration?
Thank you

Q: I typically only trade options in USD due to the liquidity of their option markets and the general dearth of bids on the TSX. Recently though, I noticed that LSPD, on the Canadian side, had robust interest and trading options was easy. Has there been a general change in option trading volume on the TSX or is LSPD a special case? Thank-you.

Q: I want to thank all of you at 5i for this excellent service that you provide. This question is concerning the takeover offer put up by applovin. Is this a low ball bid? Is it a possibility that another company might give it some loving and bid on it as well (bidding war)? I’m under water so I’m just contemplating when to crystallize the loss. Please deduct as many credits as required.
