Q: Each of these names are now near or above 10% of my portfolio.
Your thought above trim them down all by half, reduce risk: keep some cash, buy some medical names: MDT/SYK ,other fang names: FB/GOOG, industrials: looking at Carrier/Trane/Raytheon.

Thanks you!

Q: I hate to sound ungrateful to Mr. or Mrs. Google, as I have done very well with my purchase of their GOOGL (the Class A) shares about 6 years ago. HOWEVER, I paid a premium of a few dollars to acquire the voting shares (GOOGL) instead of the non-voting GOOG. Now, perversely, the GOOGL are trading over $100 LESS THAN the GOOG - even though they represent the same economic interest PLUS have voting rights (which are often worth 'something' or 'a fair bit' but never, to my knowledge, NEGATIVE value). This discount is a 20% hit on my original investment. Can you explain this bizarre situation? Would you expect this anomaly to right itself at some point? And if you have an address for me to complain to Mrs. Google, please let me know!

Q: What are your current thoughts about which United States companies you would recommend in a growth oriented portfolio. Some risk OK. Could you list and rank five of your favourites (apart from the FAANGs) and give an indication of risk.

Q: Roku has run up a lot in 2 months, at least partly due to a takeover rumour. I’m thinking an offer will likely not materialize because the cat is out of the bag making the company more expensive. If you held a small position, would you sell? At the current price do you consider Roku a buy, sell or hold?

Q: Hello Peter,

We are seeking advice on how to play the infastructure game now that Biden confirmed on Sunday that it is a stand-alone deal. We are light on Steel, Industrials, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Transportation, Materials, and 5G. We have some green energy with BEP.UN & AQN. We will reshuffle the deck by reducing Tech stocks to accommodate the shift.

Can you rank the following stocks in the categories 1st to last and add any other stocks that may be a better choice than those listed
Steel: RS, NUE, SCHN
Industrials: DD, HON (+ any other suggestions)
Aerospace: LMT, BA
Transportation: WSP, TFII, UNP, CNR, CP (+ any other suggestions)
Materials: CX (+ any other suggestions)
Manufacturing: (suggestions please)
5G: MRVL, ERIC

My last question is ask your opinion of the top 8 stocks (please rank) for the infastructure deal regardless of the sector.

Thank you for your great service.

Debbie and Jerry

Q: For someone who is bullish on gun stocks, do you have a preference between RGR and SWBI? Is there any metric you would watch and compare to find a time that would be worth moving weight from one company to the other?
Are there any other gun stocks you would consider?

Q: I had bought this when the SPAC mania was high with the belief that this SAPC from Goldman Sacs would be a good investment and provide a decent gain as well as an Initial buy-in into a great company as people like us just cant get in any decent IPO..
Unfortunately, this too has dropped and I'm almost 20% down. Is there any news as to which company they are pursuing and please advise if I should hold or sell this and invest in a growth stock, as they are back in favor.

thank you as always your advise and guidance.
