Q: Have some cash in my US $ portfolio and am considering these 6 stocks.

1) Are there any that you would want to buy at this time ? If so, would you consider them primarily to be a shorter time hold to take advantage of near term bounce, or do you see them as having the potential for both short and long term strength ?
2) Of those you would want to buy – if any - could you rank the order in which you would buy and acceptable price range.
As always, thank you .

Q: This was one you had liked in the past, and certainly with tightness continuing with chips, and therefore reduced new automobile supply, this used car auctioneer I thought would have held up better in these volatile markets. Are you still as keen on this one, or would you use this holding as a source of funds for other ideas. Essentially, is it a 'soft' hold at this point?

Thank you as always...

Q: The Trade Desk presently has sales of 86% in North America and 14% in international. The president believes that in the long run, international will become a bigger part of the overall revenues which is promising.

On the other side I see a strong growth in stock base compensation every year. In 2018 there was around 424 M of stock and now it is more than 500 M. No acquisitions were made to dilute shareholders and there is no buyback at the moment. They could put one in place in the future since they have 1 B in cash and no debt.

I know that stock base compensations is a way to acquire and retain strong talents but do you believe that it is bad for us as shareholders ?

Q: Hi team. I was fortunate to add to my Nvdia position at $219 a couple of weeks ago. Nvdia has now grown to 7% of my investment portfolio (stocks) and 6% of my total portfolio. I know you can’t get specific with weightings. I do see you typically trim your balance model portfolio around 8% when a winner runs.

Thoughts on how you decide to trim a winner and when?
