Q: I'm not happy with MKS (down 28%) and considering selling in favour of BOX or GRUB. Can I have your thoughts on this move and which do you prefer at the moment? I do not need income and am OK with reasonable risk over a 3-4 yr period.

Q: I enjoyed your piece in the Globe comparing FAANG to DOCKS. Not considering weightings, could you provide 5 US stocks where you currently see "FAANG" like potential?

Q: You guys hit a home run with GRUB and SPOT which had a recent downgrade but still put up big numbers. I was lucky enough to have taken your advice and bought both of them and am up 35% and 45% respectively in a short period of time. Do you think there is more room for them to run? Would you have a couple of others with a growth outlook like that? Thanks for the hot advice, Dennis

Q: In your answer to a question today where the member had a higher risk tolerance you suggested BOX was a good American choice. I've noted you have done this in the past. Please explain to me why you are so positive on the potential of this company and give me a bit more detail regarding exactly what services the company provides. Once again I can't thank you enough for your services.

Q: My wife and I are looking for growth and have a high tolerance for risk in our TFSA accounts. We have full positions in SHOP, TSGI, KXS, GSY, SIS, PHO, PBH, COV and half positions in RHT, WCP, GC and GUD. These will remain long term holds as long as there’s no material change in any company. We’re considering CSU and TOY. Could you comment on purchasing these at today’s prices and indicate potential future headwinds (China dispute on TOY). As a second question do you have any other suggestions that look particularly interesting to you today? Thanks for your incredibly valuable service.

Q: I notice that DBX is declining today while most tech companies are doing well. I’m wondering what the reason is for the relative weakness and if that’s a bad sign. What’s the valuation like after the drop?

Also, in a recent answer you referred to BOX and DBX as the two best in their sector. Did you mean “cloud computing” as a sector? Perhaps you could name a few of their rivals to give me a better idea of what you meant. Thanks.

Q: I am currently down 30% on Cognex. I have Facebook,Google,Netflix Grub,Nividia and Amazon. Your recent comments indicate that you do not see much of a recovery for CGNX in the short term. Can you suggest an alternative? Weighting and sector have no bearing as I'm otherwise diversified.
Thank you
