Q: I'm in China for a few weeks, and I am astounded at the payment system. The only place I've been able to use my Visa card is Starbucks. For me, everything else is cash, because I am not set up for the point-of-sale system here. Aside from the few foreigners paying cash, this is truly a cashless society. Each vendor has a scan code sticker - Purchasers use their phone, scan the code, and pay the bill in one easy step. Do you know which companies are behind this system?

Q: The tech meltdown has been spectacular. Companies that "own their world" are being trashed. Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Nvidia, Square, Salesforce, Microsoft and Box are my favorites. Would you enter this sector now or just move on? Please comment/rank on my tech watchlist. Thank you.

All these four stocks have come down in value to different degrees.

Q: Hello Peter
15% of my total portfolio are HQU shares. 18% of them are in non registered acct. and rest 82% are in TFSA & RRIF's accts. I am down on them 27%.
My question is: because most of my HQU shares are in registered accts. there is no tax losses on them, what would you do in this situation ,sell all and wait 30 days for repurchase if they go down or hold on to them for next couple of years.
thanks Andrew

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and team:

I'm making some tweaks to my U.S. holdings, and I'm considering selling my Micron shares (at a significant loss) to buy Trade Desk. Do you think this is a reasonable move at this time?
Thanks,
Brad

Q: so when someone asks you aquestion would you purchase tsgi or gc for a3 year hold you chose gc, does that mean your backing away from tsgi, i would not blame you because something is definitely wrong with tsgi.
also would you buy more shopify right here considerably below the fund raise, i already own 750 shares and it has been just about the only tech stock that has performed lately. dave
