Q: Seems bewildering to choose among so many types of Tech stocks. Looking for 3 names...would CRM, ADBE or any others you would suggest be worthy at today’s values or should I just run to the SMH ETF? Help and thanks!

Q: I took a position in BLOK:US on the recommendation of a contributor to your Canadian Money Magaine (BTW I give each of my three children a subscription for Christmas becasue it is simply the best financial advice product anywhere). The thesis of the nvestment was to participate in AI for the future. I put it away as a long term investment. BLOK has been showing extraordianary growth lately. I'm not sure why? Is there a specific reason? Is it a long term hold or a sell opportunity? David

Q: What is your view on a core portfolio of the following ETFs: IEMG (12%), IEFA (23%), ITOT/ VFV (40%). The US ETFs would be in RRSP to minimize fees and withholding taxes while VFV would be in a TFSA. Both accounts would be supplemented with individual stocks from the 5i balanced/growth portfolios and a select few US stocks (CRWD, U, SQ, PINS, PLTR, NVDA) for Canada/growth exposure. Do you prefer Vanguard’s comparative US ETFs over the ones mentioned or are you largely indifferent? Thanks!

Q: Of 6 Wall St. analysts following Palantir 3 have a rare "Sell" on it with 2 Holds average sell PT ~ $17. I know the 5i take on price targets yet last Nov. Peter H. said this stock, then at 17 could be 25 one year out, yet here we are at $36. There's been good news flow on this lately but how much upside could there possibly be and why are these pessimistic analysts down on it?

Q: Looking to add another U S company to either my cash or TFSA account. I have followed MITK for awhile and I believe you like it. I notice it has pulled back a bit. Would it be a good addition and to which account? U. S stocks I presently own are SQ, V, BHVN, AAPL, DIS, FSLY, and ABCL. Do you have another suggestion that I may consider?
Thanks John

Q: Hi,
I'm curious about CEF's and came across this one that appears to offer a decent dividend, with a bit of growth. However, I don't know anything about these types of funds, so would appreciate any thought you might offer on them. Are they a reasonable investment, or very risky? They talk about these funds being leveraged and that makes me nervous - should I be, or is that just my lack of understanding how these funds work. I'm much more familiar with ETF's and certainly comfortable with stocks - either Canada or US markets. Thanks for all your great advice over the years!
