Investment Q&A

Q: BKNG has been falling for three months, which has accelerated in the past few weeks after GOOG announced a new platform for searching vacation travel. It has dropped about 25% in the past 3 months. I am wondering if Google's platform is a major threat or not. Is BKNG earnings still going to grow going forward?

Q: I'm looking for a growth stock for the long term without too much volatility in either Canada or the US. Can you give me 2 picks and why? If you think there are better alternatives than the ones I've suggested, please provide them.

Q: At what price would you consider Costco a good buy?

Q: Would you recommend taking a small position in AI at this point, and if so what would be your first choice in a stock and/or ETF?

Q: What do you think of LMND as a long term buy and hold business... they seem to be more effectively using their AI software to generate improved financials...

Q: While Nvidia results look good, a Globe and Mail article about the results quoted two commentators who suggest that current AI spending is "unsustainable". Can you comment on the sustainability of AI spending? Thanks.

Q: Could you please share your thoughts about the recent NVDA earnings? What is your sentiment towards the AI/Chip sector after the release of their earnings?

Thanks!

Q: Hello team,
Based on a bit of research I have done, I would like to buy these companies in the following order: ASML, SMCI, ANET, AMD, AVGO, SITM, ARM, PWR, PLTR

I am buying them to further focus my portfolio on AI for the next 5-10 years. I already have the hyeprscalers and the usual AI suspects but, somehow, I missed on the companies listed above.

Please deduct as many credits as needed for the following questions:
What do you think of this list?
Would change the order based on their resent declines/Valuation?
Would you drop any of the above based on their excessive valuation which may not meet the expected growth in next 5-10 years?
Would you wait a bit more before you buy or just proceed today?
Is there a better company that can substitute any of the above based on moat in AI? Any other company that you think I should also consider?

Thank you as always for your invaluable help and insight. (Without you I would have quit investing a long time ago!)

Q: I have held the trade desk for many years and it is still a double for me. This is my high growth stock in my portfolio. I am planning to sell it and buy a better high growth stock for the future. Could you provide me your best idea ? Thanks

Q: I’ve held BNKG for a little over a year at a very small gain.. It appears to remain fairly resilient in this market which is obviously comforting, yet I struggle with how stagnant the share price seems.

There are plenty of opportunities right now in the market, and was thinking on selling my BKNG. Using that money towards a “better opportunity” at a discount.

This is somewhat of a timing question, yet I feel taking advantage of this correction right now only makes sense.

Thoughts ?

Which 5 companies provide the very best opportunity at their respectful discounts? In order ideally. Thanks

Q: Your current opinion of this company and its growth compared to our canadian oil companies and the possibility of future pipe lines.
