Q: Good morning. Have similar small positions in both Apple and Veev. I like a concentrated portfolio. Should I condense to one and if so, which one? Or just leave well enough alone. Also own Kinaxis and XBC in my TFSA. Dividend stocks are in my self-directed account. I'm a 75 year old senior woman who loves managing my own portfolio, with your wonderful recommendations of course. Thanks. Lorraine

Q: What is your top choice for playing the gold sector? This will be my only exposure to precious metals.

What are your top 10 growth names (Canada or US) for a new investment with a minimum 5 year hold? I'm not concerned about sector diversity or weighting because we're well diversified in other, larger parts of our portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: I've read the Q & A's on veev and see that it's a name you like longer term. What about the short term? How do you like it at the current price given that it's experienced a nice run in the last month or so. Does it have legs to keep going higher shorter term in your view? I bought some today and it immediately dropped and of course I'm wondering whether I was the last one to join the party. I realize you don't have a crystal ball. Thank you as always.

Q: Hello 5i,
In a recent answer you rated VEEV higher than AYX. I have a half position in VEEV and a full position in AYX. Based on your rating should I trim AYX and add to VEEV or is there not enough difference between their respective performances to warrant such a move?
Thank you so much for all you do!!

Q: Whenever there are these swings in the market from growth/tech to value/consumer it makes me think about diversification. I have also noticed that companies that bring tech to another field are thriving. Examples being SHOP bringing technology to consumers, REAL bringing it to consumers and real estate, VEEV bringing it to health care, etc.... Also the US markets just recategorized to decrease the amount of technology companies. I am presently 27% technology but only if I place REAL and AMZN in consumer, GOOG in communications , etc.

I own all the above listed companies except ROP. I am currently considering selling LSPD (technology or should just categorize it as consumer) to buy ROP (industrial or is it technology). This would bring technology to under 25% and increase Industrials and US exposure which I am underweight in. The problem is that I can’t help but think that I am making a trade just to make the diversification boxes all line up. One could easily consider ROP as technology.

In the medical profession we have a term for this. “Euboxic”. Which means making all the lab values line up to hope for the best but often with no real value added.
