Q: My question has two aspects. One genral and another one specific
First. numerous analysts and professional investors (and not necessary professional short term traders) use to claim a golden rule saying if a company following poor results in the earnings season, slides 10% or about, you sell immediately and the sooner the better. What is your position on this issue?
Second. What kind of application could be envisaged in the specific case of a stock like Cloudflare with a recent splash of more than 17%?

Thank you very much in advance

Q: While Disney is a great company is it a great stock? I am down considerably on the stock as video streaming... have not met my expectations. Do you have any alternatives in this sector that would upgrade my portfolio or would you stay with Disney?
With appreciation,

Q: Hello,
Thank you for all your great information.
I am heavily weighted, between LIRA, CASH, TFSA in some of the magnificent 7.
NVDA - 10.6%, MSFT 8.73%, APPL 7.59%, GOOG 7.44, AMZN 4.15%
ETF's - VFV 4.97%, XLK 4.94, ZQQ 3.84
the remaining of my portfolio is split between banks, Brookfield co's and smaller growth stock.
My horizon is decent - and, as you can see, I consider myself an aggressive investor.
My question - I wonder if I should sell and move and if yes, where to move to? Some thoughts.
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.

Q: Everyone. I own AMZN and SHOP in equal amounts. Should I sell one and use the proceeds to buy the other? If yes which one do I sell? I have a triple gain on AMZN and a six times gain on SHOP.. Clayton
PS only buy the best of the best…

Q: Good Morning! On a macro level and considering the current high average P/E ratio of the S&P 500 would you be more inclined toward Canadian, International or Emerging market investing. I see that both Canadian and International markets are also priced above average, although not as much as the US. For Emerging markets India and China on the other hand are presenting faster growing economies (still China is much riskier in my POV but BABA might be a good opportunity). What are your thoughts ? Thank you.

Q: I need to trim SMCI, NVDA and VRT. I have partial positions in AMZN, MSFT, AMD, LLY,GOOG, AXON, NXT, CELH, PLTR and NTNX. Could you please order the partial positions from high to low, for a potential add? What are your recommendations for 4 or 5 other growth stocks, any size/sector that I could investigate for a new position? Would any of the these growth stocks fit into the ranking of the partial positions? If so, could you place them into the ranking? Thanks very much for this service and the patience you show, in answering the many questions!

Q: If you could only buy one of these companies for long term growth which would you make the case for? Obviously AMZN is an order of magnitude larger. They are both slotted into the consumer discretionary sector, but how closely do you see them tracking to the factors that would move that sector? Do you foresee AMZN initiating a dividend one day? Does any other U.S. name stand out to you that you vastly prefer? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Thank you for answering my earlier question on the screening criteria for Options. Your customary comprehensive and measured answer has an inbuilt framework for an article by itself! Your words of caution is appreciated.

Using the criteria that you have outlined in that answer i.e. Mkt cap 10 B+, Good cash position and sales and earnings growth, positive cash flow and reasonable volatility and momentum, can you give me 5 stocks for writing covered calls?

Where I get stumped is that some good companies give paltry premiums! Hence this question!

Always appreciate your insight.
