Q: Hello 5i
I want to re arrange my TFSA and seek your advice, I own a lot of Topicus in my TFSA and have been considering selling it to buy something else, for two reasons. First, it is close to CSU and I have a lot of that, too. so, I would like to delute that concentration. Also, I want a US company with high premiums that I can sell options on. My preference would be Nvidia. But, because Topicus has gone down so much, lately, I would like to get someting good that has gone down as much as it. Therefore I was looking mostly at Square. APPs might give me a faster ride. < in both directions, thought!> but Square might be more reliable for a retired person. Appreciate any suggestions and, as always, respect and value your judgement

Q: Is Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated a good buy at this time to add to a portfolio to start a small position? What do you think of the financial ratios for this stock, their industry that they serve, their customer base and insider ownership? Buy, hold or sell? Thanks

Q: SC & MC especially high growth tech cos with no profit have been hammered recently, Today even the big techs were attacked. Now that the Fed stated that it will increase tapering of monthly purchase & rate hike(s) likely sooner than later. Uncertainity is cleared up for now. So is it time to sell the high growth stocks with no profit like my aforementioned holdings. Would appreciate u views on each of them.All in the non registered a/c so can be tax loss selling to offset capital gains. Txs for u usual great services & views.

Q: I remember in the (i.e. Nortel -- I even worked as a contractor there -- one of a lot of tech stocks) days when they participated in a massive sell-off which took years to recover. Is this deja vu so to speak?

Q: If you tune out the noise on this company, is this a decent investment?

Q: Hi Team,
I am just wondering why APPS is not on the Apple platform? Also would there be potential to be in the future, and would this be a catalyst for them? Or is this an impossibility? Thanks

Q: I am down a fair amount on Paypal in a registered account. Seeking your opinion on selling, and placing funds elsewhere. Logic being I likely will recoup my loss faster elsewhere than waiting game with Paypal? Thoughts? Please share 2 ideas as a replacement. Thanks, and all the best
