Q: Happy New year 5i!!
I have the following US stocks in my TFSA:NVDA,SQ,AMZN,CGNX.
I'd like to add another from the following: Arista, Paypal, Micron or Flir.
I'm not concerned about sectors or size and have a fairly high risk tolerance. If you have a better choice than the ones I've mentioned I'm all ears!
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi Team, sold off my US etfs and slowly been moving in US individual stocks in my RRSP.For a materials play in the US , between EMN and LYB which has a better growth profile? Would you recommend a materials company which would have a involvement in the construction or infrastructure play instead. I do own CAT (thanks to your sound advice) for industrial and or infrastructure play. Many Thanks Sam

Q: Understanding the US isn't your focus, do you have any insight into this stock? They appear to be a going concern with a short term issue that the shorts ganged up on looking for a quick buck. I bought some at about 50 dollars and am tempted to buy more knowing that next earnings may still show some effects, BUT that 2017 numbers will still be handily better than 2016, and 2018 looks good. Thoughts?

Q: I have read today the Morningstar Credit report. I own 10K and made 23% so far :-)
Their leverage scares me, gone much higher since your last opinion on TMO, while they only have 600 mill in cash. Can I stay or sh I sell out.

Q: I am setting up an all ETF portfolio for a 20 yr plus holding period and I have a two-part question. The first part concerns the makeup of the Canadian/US component. Is it better to go with a combination of SPY and XIC or would including CDZ and VIG provide stability and perhaps a bit more growth to the mix (keeping in mind that I intend to hold at least 5% of each but don't need income yet)?

Secondly, I am looking for higher risk assets for my TFSA. I was thinking of IWO. I know that there are specialized sectors I could include but I looking for a fairly hands-off approach. Do you think this approach would serve me well - I know that it is only one asset type - or is there a better mix out there that would still be quite manageable?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: My TFSA is all in Can $. I have $12000.00 to add this year, so would like your opinion, on the US Tech sector, or the US Bank sector.
I would buy a ETF. At this time would you go hedged or unhedged?
Thanks for your continued support.

Q: I have US$ in my RIF that I would like to invest defensively given general high valuations and the potential for a correction. Would VIG and VIGI be good choices or would you have other suggestions. Thanks for the help. Doug

Q: Facebook has had a good run in the past 12 months and there is a good mix of analysts who rate it as a buy. However Pivotal Research rates it as a sell and calls for a 24% drop in the current price. What is your opinion of FB? Is Googl a better stock at this juncture or would you recommend I look at another stock in this sector.
