Q: Hi 5i!
Piggy backing off one of my last questions on building a solid portfolio from scratch through diversification et al(THANK YOU!). Knowing you can’t get personal; looking for some mid to long term hold recommendations (either US or CA) in the following sectors with growth upside in mind as I have significant cash (250K+) sitting in my RRSP doing nothing. I am currently quite top heavy in Tech – and own the above in registered and non-registered accounts.

If you have several recos for a sector, can you please rank in order of preference. Additionally, if there is a sector that can be put to the side with the idea of prioritizing others, I would be keen to know. Also open to add ETF's to represent a sector. As always, thanks a million. I love your service.

Q: Could you please explain what would/should have changed with the split, if you held NVDA CDRs rather than the regular shares.
Thank you.

Q: What do you think of airbnb and uber? i use both companies a lot and like them.

Can you give me your thoughts on each in terms of: valuation, growth prospects, how they stack up to peers, and how good the ROE is?

Would you say one is better than the other? I assume they are both pretty GDP sensitive w/how much travel and leisure spending impacts them

Q: Hi guys,

With the pending deal of AQN to sell there stake to the PE company, do you think they will just let the company plod along with the high dividend OR would they take steps to improve its overall business to increase share price? In other words what will be the mandate of the takeover company?

Ok thanks

Q: I own STAG and it had a nice run at the end of 2023 but has come down a bit since, and it’s share price is about the same from a year ago. It’s in a stable real estate sector and I don’t mind holding onto it if it has some decent growth potential (by REIT standards), but if you think it’s struggling to grow, I may look for a better REIT. Thoughts?
