Q: What do you think of buying one or two of these companies and holding for 2 years? I own very little oil/gas. What would be your top picks of my choices or any others you'd recommend?

Q: Good Morning Team,

I have a question and a suggestion:

Will you be able to tell us why VEEV with its lofty valuation continues to hit new highs almost every day? Is this in anticipation of a good result prior to the Q release? Would you be a buyer at these levels for long-term hold?

Now, I know this is a US company and here is my suggestion: Why would you not officially cover US companies and include in your response whether or not you own the company? 5i members know that you trade in the US and you do not cover US companies because you wish to remain conflict free. Well if you include this extra piece of information, then it will be up to the members to take your partial response or not. I for one would still want to ask you what you think despite your possible conflict of interest. And given the dismal situation of TSX, I am more and more trading in the US. I know that you have built enough trust among 5i members that if you take my suggestion, you will be opening the flood gates. I hope you look into this suggestion seriously, regardless.

Thank you for your consideration.

Q: Your opinion on the best 8-10 US stocks going forward (based on the metrics that you consider when choosing a company) as well as recognizing the TRUMP effect. I have been holding off on the US since February but now believe there is at least 12 -20 months of positive growth available before the next recession. Thank you.

Q: My IT stocks have grown to 24% and I want to scale back to 20%. Currently SHOP 7%; ZQQ 7%; KXS 4%; OTEX 4%; PHO 2%. I am thinking of reducing SHOP to 5%; selling ZQQ and OTEX and buying AMZN 4.5% and SQ 4.5%. Your comments greatly appreciated. I know the valuation of OTEX is much lower than either AMZN or SQ but the growth in these two stocks are much higher.

Q: HI Peter, Would you recommend adding to RHS as its price is lower now. Or you would prefer 4-5 companies solid blue chip dividend paying companies to buy and hold ( avoid MER and capture more dividend). In that case also, can you please rank them in order of your preference. UL, PEP, HRL, K, or any other of your favorites.
Much Thanks.

Q: Our son is 14 and his RESP is about $80K. It owns Amazon, Facebook, Nvidia, Alphabet (equally) and Knight (24%), reflecting his lifestyle and my faith in GUD. Can you temporarily overlook weighting, etc. and suggest one more US stock with some potential torque for a 5 year hold? Risk is not a factor. If this account craters, he will still get any education he aspires to before he heads out on his own...
Thank you.

Q: I have been a member long enough to recognize that "ok" is a downgrade from "fine" when you comment on stocks.
That is what has transpired between Aprill 11 and 25 in responses regarding Micron.
Would you recommend Micron for a 4-5 year hold with the hope that it is closer to the two separate $100 targets rather than the recent $35 target due to pricing concerns.
Thank you.
