Q: May I have your opinion of Amazon and Apple’s earnings this quarter and future outlook please.

Not sure this really applies to these two, but I’ve heard that the tariffs won’t truly impact companies’ earnings until next quarter (with some companies stockpiling 3-6 months worth of inventory to try to ride this out and customers doing the same). Mind you, we could wake up tomorrow and everything has changed again.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i.

I am hoping you can answer this question, which has been puzzling me for awhile. Every day, when I look at the list of the top-traded stocks on the NASDAQ in the Financial Post, MSFT is never there. I can't understand why this would be. Is it because a huge percentage of the stock is held by institutions that simply do not trade it?

Q: My mag7 holdings have only really consisted of GOOG and NVDA, is this good enough? Seeing MSFT and META with strong earnings, should I diversity more into the other holdings? If you were to rank the mag7, what would they look like? Was considering a stake in AMZN and I know they report tonight. Thank you!

Q: Zebra Technologies just reported earnings and, while it beat expectations and has a solid backlog and pipeline, the outlook is looking rather dismal due to so much macroeconomic uncertainty. I was also wondering, with so many customers buying during the pandemic, how long until you think they will need to upgrade? I know the company is expanding into adjacent markets and internationally but wonder if most businesses now have the technology in place. Would you move on? Or hold? Thank you.

Q: Based on increased weather volatility I would have thought Generac's business would be booming, however the price of the stock and momentum does not reflect this. Is this a buying opportunity or have I missed something? Would you buy at this level or are there other companies in the sector that you would prefer. Thanks for your analysis.

Q: Can I get your quick comments on these companies? I'm down on these between 20-45%. Do you think they are still worth holding or looking to clean up these weeds and deploy into other higher quality names. Thanks!

Q: Can you give your thoughts on INMD's earnings today? The market isn't liking the continued rev and profit deceleration, and again lowered guidance. They blame economic forces but this pre dates Trump and the recent pullback, so one has to believe their previous products keep losing brand power. They have a lot of cash, and they bought back a lot of shares but its seeming like a bit of a value trap since the buybacks aren't making up for the business decel. They released a newer product in the last year but at this point we have no clue if its going to do well. Is this still a hold for you? Thx

Q: Hi Peter et al,

You folks are very knowledgeable about Long Short Options and other hedging techniques. With that in mind, may I ask for your opinion about Simplify ETFs for income. I was impressed by Michael Greene's interview on Danny Moses' podcast.
(On the tape with Danny Moses).

Looked at his website and he seems to offer a lot of income generating ETFs based on solid instruments. (Bonds, Treasuries and Solid stocks). HIGH, BUCK, CRDT, AGGH etc.,

The MER seems reasonable. But only available in USD.

Worth dipping in? Which one would you as their best offering?

If you think there are better alternatives here in Canada or even in the US, please feel free to share your suggestions.

Many thanks.

Q: Given that they had been put into the penalty box because of past transgressions with account openings, I had a thesis that WFC would benefit significantly from the Trump administration plan to deregulate. Unfortunately, my timing was off, the shares had already increased and dropped after I invested. At this point I wonder if I should abandon my thesis and move to another financial holding. In your view, would GS be a better investment? And why? Alternatively, although Regional banks were hit hard in the past, FITB seems to be favourably viewed; would that be better than WFC or GS? And if so, why? This is in a TFSA and looking for growth, not income. Many thanks for your excellent service.
