Q: I am 100% equity in Canada and mostly ETFs in USA....My plan is to stay that way but I am thinking to try and beat the average in the USA by adding a few individual USA stocks. Can you suggest a few NON-MAMAA stocks that you would consider as good to outperform the broad market in the USA. I have a very diversified and balanced portfolio so have no restrictions in terms of asset class. Not looking for a hot growth stock, but more of a buy and almost forget return booster for my USA investments.

Q: Can you please comment on The Trade Desk (TTD) latest earnings release. Was there anything of particular interest to note from the call this morning (either good or bad)? Is this one of your strong growth high conviction names to hold onto?

Q: Hi Peter,

Recently, Gabriela Borges of Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs initiated a Sell rating on Cloudflare (NET) with a $51 price target. The analyst believes emerging software industry dynamics are favorable for long-term investors. Multi-product platforms have gained momentum, the industry is less cyclical, and unit economics outperform broader software. However, for Cloudflare, the analyst believes that the path to executing $5 Billion in annual recurring revenue will likely not be linear. Over the medium term, the risk/reward is skewed negative for the stock.

What is your opinion of NET from a short-term and medium-term risk/reward perspective? Please explain your rationale.

Thanks

George

Q: I would like to add to my CDR holdings of either PFE, ABBV or UNH. I am leaning towards PFE since it's price has been down lately and it has a decent yield. How are CDR distributions treated for tax purposes, are they considered to be Canadian or US equities?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,

It seems the market wants to take a breather what with inflation being sticky- makes me hesitant to put in new money?

Would you be a buyer of TWLO after today's price surge or wait for it to settle (and maybe miss the boat)? How would you compare it to CRWD as far as the return on investment is concerned? I have been using CRWD as a benchmark for comparison of risky growth stocks. Do you think that is a reasonably fair and quick method to evaluate ?

Q: This question concerns Healthcare in a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth. Our target is for a 5% weight in this sector.

Currently, we only hold CSH.UN at a loss. We are open to selling it outright and replacing it with 1 or more of your favourites or topping it up and adding at least 1 growth-oriented suggestion. I understand from a previous question that CSH.UN has performed in a close range with REITs, which have adequate representation in our portfolio.

What would be your top picks in Healthcare for long term holds (5+ years)? How would you rate them (1-10, 10 being best) for new money today?

How would you proceed? Would you suggest going with 1 or 2 names? Would you suggest topping up CSH.UN and adding a 2nd name, selling CSH.UN and adding 1 or 2 new names, etc?

Thanks.
