Q: Happy Halloween to all.
I know you dont cover US stocks but do you see any good stocks to buy now for 2 to 3 years growth? Ones that have been beaten up too much. I'm thinking NAVIDA GRUB GOOG but suggestions welcome please. Thank you
Ps should we wait until end of November?

Q: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."

Q: SHOP and SQ seem to have a lot of features in common wrt their digital commerce platforms.
Do you have a preference for one over the other or should one simply hedge the situation by holding equal positions in both?
And also, are there any competitors out there that could significantly interfere with their high growth rates.
Thanks - James.

Q: Hi team,
I like SQ and I know it is one of your favourites. It had a big sell-off, with all other tech, but now has the CFO leaving. I always liked Sarah Friar as I thought she was a real driving power behind SQ. To me, she is not just your everyday CFO. She knew what to say to the markets. For example, she would tone down Dorsey when he went too far over the top on crypto transactions earlier the year. As you know, Dorsey is also CEO of TWTR and splits his time half and half between SQ and TWTR. The market was not overly concerned with this arrangement as long as Friar was there for SQ. With a weaker management team now and given the TWTR onus also on Dorsey, does this temper your outlook for SQ?
Thanks again,
dave

Q: Good morning
In keeping with the theme of fewer positions and more concentrated portfolios (higher weights and fewer names you have mentioned in the past).
Which 5 US stocks would you recommend for a US TFSA and for a US RRSP?
Would these be different since tax treatment for these portfolios are different?
Thanks
Victoria

Q: Regarding Square, I encountered it twice in as many days recently. One was by a guy renting wet suits from his van at the beach. The other was a girl who runs her own small gift shop in Nova Scotia. I can see where it would continue to grow. It's so easy for both the business and the customer to do a transaction.

Q: greetings - many of the small businesses i know that use square say it is very expensive on a per use basis and if they had a cheaper alternative they would switch. What prevents someone like Visa from entering this space with their own product?Smaller merchants are extremely sensitive to costs so i would expect any 'cheaper' aletnative could erode either their profitability or their client base. Have you seen anything that addresses this issue.
