Q: I own both KKR and BN. KKR stock price is appreciating significantly more than BN and all other stocks in the private equity realm, that I am aware of. Can a case be made to concentrate on KKR if one is not concerned about including BN to have Canadian exposure? Further, do you see any other financial stock with more pure growth potential relative to KKR?

Q: I recently sold my NVEI shares (basically broke even over the highs and lows) and have some cash to deploy in my TFSA. I am looking for recommendations on some growth stocks (US or CDN) for 3-5 year hold minimum that have good prospects. I already own PRL and LMN and was thinking about ARM, AVGO, and NVDA. However, is it too late for these stocks due to their impressive gains over the last couple of years. Any other stocks to consider? Thanks for your feedback.

Q: Earlier this week a US judge ruled that Google has an illegal monopoly with its Android App Store, and the judge set out a bunch of rules that Google must follow for the next three years so as to allow for more competition. This ruling came out of the Epic Games lawsuit. Google plans to appeal and seek to pause the order. But I am confused. At the end of 2023, Google agreed to a $700 million settlement to resolve similar state and consumer concerns with its App Store. And as part of that settlement, I thought they agreed to similar changes to their App Store to what was just laid out this week. So, why are they fighting the most recent ruling? Thanks.
