Q: I own the following in my US-denominated TFSA:

ADBE, DAL, FIVE, PYPL, PAYC, TOL, SLQT, GOOG, AL

The goal of this account is high-conviction, long-term growth strategy, focused on eight US equities, with a risk profile somewhere in between that of your Balanced and Growth portfolios.

A) If I had to sell one of the 9 holdings listed, which should it be?

B) Are there any others that should be sold in light of the investment goal stated?

C) Which of these should I add to, if any, or, which new postition should I consider (US market only) that would complement the existing positions well? Please note that I am already fully-weighted/over-weighted in FIVE, GOOG, PYPL, and PAYC.

Thank you. Please deduct the appropriate number of credits as needed.

Q: I hold the US portion of my portfolio in my RRSP. It represents roughly 20% of my total investment. I do not need to convert to RRIF for another 5 years and at that time will be taking the minimum required.
I currently hold ZQQ; ZPAY; ZDY; ZWH; ZSP.
I am thinking of switching my holdings to the following in roughly equal amounts: ZPAY; VUN; ZSP; ZNQ; XSU.
The objective is to get better coverage of the total US market through XSU and VUN. Maintain coverage of S&P 500 through ZSP. For Tech switching to non hedged via ZNQ. ZPAY will still provide good income with perhaps some downside protection through its options strategy.
Your thoughts and recommendations of alternatives.
The rest of my portfolio in my Non-Registered account and TFSA follow a mixture of your 3 portfolios which by the way have provide me with a return of 12 - 15% in the past 6 plus years.

Q: looking for a fintech growth company with a 1-2 yr investment horizon. Could you pls comment on each.

Q: A number of years ago I did some due diligence on NOC and have successfully owned it at times since then. The stock had a bit of a pop this spring but has been going sideways in recent months. If I was a technician I might think it was consolidating or building a base. The company could benefit from US stimulus or it might be impacted by supply chain issues.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the company's prospects going into it's next earnings report in late October.
Thanks for your insights.

Q: Hi 5i team. Can you comment on ADSK. It’s been on a downtrend lately since last earnings announcement. Is this company still in good financial shape for future growth or should be concerned about cash flow headwind with their recent changes to subscription payment plans? If fundamentals still look fine, what might be a good entry price point for this stock? Would recent news cause stock to go sideways for a while before picking back up from its current level?
