Q: I am considering selling Veev or Abbv and buying Syk or Mdt. Could I have your thoughts on these companies today and which ones have the most long term promise? Would you have other suggestions in US healthcare?

- Veeva Systems Inc. Class A (VEEV)
- Guardant Health Inc. (GH)
Q: In our “balanced portfolio” we have decided to go to US stocks for our healthcare allocation. Currently holding MDT, VEEV and GH. Are these reasonable holdings? We like a concentrated portfolio so only have these 3 as our healthcare stocks. Would you suggest any changes or potentially a new 4th position? We are buy and hold growth investors looking at greater than 10 years until we would require these funds.
Q: I've held VEEV for a while and it seems to be stalled. Time to move on? If yes, would you recommend shifting the funds to bring ATZ up to 4%? Alternatively, is there another company in the health sector you would recommend in VEEV's stead? Medium-risk investor.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hello Peter,
Following the quarterly results from Docusign Veeva and Crowdstrike, would you consider them worthy of an overweight position?
Appreciate your opinion as always.

Q: VEEV has taken a big tumble. I can find this " VEEV slips as burgeoning industry headwinds offset strong Q2", plus several analysts who have raised their target, anywhere from $295 - $340. VEEV is part of my growth portfolio, I'm still up 25%. I have most of the growth stocks talked about regularly, except AFRM and NVEI. Looking at momentum/growth rather than sector, would you warrant a switch from VEEV to one of the others, and if so, which one, considering there would be a currency swap involved in NVEI. Thanks!
Q: I don't see anything posted on last night's results so I will ask for your comments on the quarter

Q: A little fun. If you had to select a maximum of 10 stocks to purchase and hold for 20 years, which ones would you choose? In this scenario, 100% of all available funds today and in the future would continue to go into these same positions (assuming they continue to exist). There are no parameters on geography, sector or size. The objective is pure growth.

Q: Hello,
I was lucky enough to invest in NVIDIA 3-4 years ago but it has grown to around 15% of my portfolio. I’m considering trimming it to 6-7%. I want to replace with other companies in the tech sector, which ones would you recommend for a 10+ year hold? My only other tech holding is Kinaxis.
Thank you for your help.

Also ETF ideas to look @ please. Please deduct question credits as appropriate.

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service. Generally TFSA is the place for high growth but my highest growth has been in my RRSP. Is there any compelling reason I should sell anything in RRSP and rebuy in TFSA (e.g., NVDA)? I realize I will be taxed on RRSP withdrawals while TFSA withdrawals are tax-free - but - my RRSP has a lot more cash than my TFSA so there isn't room to move all my growthy stuff over. Because of the relative size of RRSP to TFSA, if I were to do equal weighting of all stocks, I'd only have 4 different stocks in my TFSA, which perhaps is fine? Are there any obvious adjustments that you would make to the following:
RRSP:
XQQ 13.68%
VXC 12.03%
NVDA 7.64%
AAPL 6.70%
JPM 4.73%
