Q: My wife owns a company that started using Monday.com last year. I hear her rave about it all the time. I even heard her say she would pay double the fees charged it is so useful. I told her I would buy some stock if it ever went public and here we are... You said its expensive based on the current valuation. Can you please elaborate compared to the competition? The stock shot up and I don't want to get caught in the excitement and overpay. Thanks
Q: I somehow missed the memo for The Trade Desk stock split. Is this generally a positive? I know it doesn't actually change the value, but I'm wondering how investors look upon it. I am up over 100% and would like to think it's got further room to grow. Thoughts? Thanks!
Q: Hi. Could I have your opinion on Patrick Industries as a way to capture the post-covid rebound? Is it too late in the recovery to get into this stock? thanks, J
Q: I own both ABBV and MDT and I am up nicely on both, thanks to 5i.
Thinking of selling MDT and purchasing SYK, which should have more growth in the coming months??
I would appreciate your opinion on all companies and the switch from MDT to SYK.
Q: Do you have any concerns about the antitrust chatter and the new FTC appointment? Specifically for google Facebook Amazon and Apple. Breaking up Big Tech seems unlikely and would potentially unlock more value by selling off pieces of the companies (how much would Instagram be worth or AWS or YouTube)… but can any laws get passed that will really change the trajectory of these businesses the runway ahead of them still seems to be massive.
They all have so much cash and so much information about their customers and surely have the ability to pivot and skirt the new “rules”. I still view them as safe as any ETF out there with much better growth potential.
Q: My wife and I are each opening up a TFSA with 75000 initial deposit in each account. We are thinking of putting 5-8 ETF's into the one account and 10-12 stocks into the other account. Wondering if this is a good strategy or if you would suggest something different? The emphasis would be primarily on growth, but not at extreme risk. Can you recommend 5 or more ETF's (and percentage allotted for each) for good diversity for the one account, and 10-12 stocks equally spread out to cover the $75,000 in the other account.
Please deduct as many credits as appropriate.
Many thanks, Jake
Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
As a long-term holder of CGI accrued solid returns past 5 years. When compared against competitor Accenture CGI is a laggard. I'm considering swapping GIB.A for ACN. What's holding me back is the higher valuation multiple on ACN. Arguably GIB.A is better value but... Some of my holdings are in registered accounts so tax is not a consequence. As always your wisdom-filled feedback on the potential of this trade is welcome. TIA for commentary.
Q: For infrastructure plays related to EV's I took a position in these 2 stocks at the beginning of the year. Both have done well but now over the last month seems to have trended down or flat.
thoughts going forward.
Thanks for your valued opinion.
Dale
Q: Hi,
I assume that you will deduct question points as you see fit.
I am considering simplifying and 'conservatising' my RRIF.My wife andI are in our mid 70's.
Portfolio Analytical has again shown that my account is unbalanced with inadequate foreign content. I also need to increase my weightings in Consumer (discretional and defensive), Industrial and Technology.
Could you please suggest 5 names for conservative longterm holds in non Canadian Stocks or ETF's in the following categories?
a)consumer defensive
b)consumer discretionary
c)Industrials
d)Technology .
What are your thoughts on this company in terms of fundamentals? Would you consider it high risk? Looking at a 3 year hold here.
Jump in or run for the hills?
Many thanks for such a great service!
Q: Back in February you were recommending HOG as a good consumer discretionary play. since then the stock has reached a high of about $52.00, but has pulled back and currently seems to be in a bit of a downtrend. How do you feel about the stock today and would you still recommend it as a buy?
