Q: Jim Chanos has expressed the opinion that NBIS and CRWV are capital intensive, low margin, and high risk investments. Your comments much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I’m doing a fairly major portfolio clean-up and account optimization exercise.
Specifically, I’m removing dividend-oriented and income-generating stocks from my TFSA and RRSP that are better suited to a non-registered account, and reallocating TFSA/RRSP capital to assets that benefit most from tax sheltering.

At a broad level, I’d appreciate your perspective on:

• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to an RRSP (e.g., U.S. dividend payers, global compounders, cyclicals, etc.)
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to a TFSA (long-term growth, compounding, low income leakage)

I’m less interested in yield optimization and more focused on long-term after-tax efficiency and proper account placement.

If helpful, feel free to answer at a category level (e.g., “U.S. dividend aristocrats,” “Canadian compounders,” etc.) or with specific examples you think are particularly well-suited.

Thanks — looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: ZOMD Can I get a quick explanation on what they do ? I know it was a recent recommendation, would you still recommend it after the decline ?

Q: I am considering adding AVGO with its most recent price decline on what appeared to be a good Q. Would you concur that the sell off has been over done given there was little to complain about in the quarterly release. MSFT is my other add consideration, as it has corrected some, likely in sympathy with the AI fears. Of the 2 which would you consider more attractive for a 5 year hold? In the account I also hold NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN, and MU for tech names. Thank you.

Q: I have taken advantage of tax loss selling and have sold all my Canadian telecommunication stocks. At this time I don't feel any pressure to buy them back after 30 days. However, I would like to have exposure to the telecommunications sector for diversity and for the dividend. Could you recommend some non-Canadian alternatives for a long term hold? Many thanks!!! All the best for the holidays!!!

Q: How bad does the Waymo user news really affect Uber?

Q: Hello,
Which do you see having more upside over the next 5 years, NVDA or GOOG?
Thanks as always.

Q: How would you define a "core holding" in a portfolio? The above listed companies I consider to be core holdings. Does this list broadly match your definition of what type of companies should make up core holdings in a portfolio? Are there names in that list that you would NOT consider to be "core holdings"?
Thank you for your work and please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Q: I currently own MSFT and GOOG . MSFT is at a loss((down 20%) in a Registered Acct and I am reviewing switching to GOOG or AMZN for better returns. I am currently 10% of portfolio in on GOOG so am pondering the switch to GOOG. Do you think a bounce is expected with share price of MSFT in the next 6-12 months is possible?

Q: Hello 5i

For a 1 year to 2 year hold what would be your top 5 growth choices that are TSX listed, can include CDR stocks, and a share price of no more than $55.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hello 5i - please take the number of credits you need. I began investing last year and have the following portfolio/down rounded up: GOOG: 6%, BN 7%, CSU 4%, DOL 4%, ENB 7%, HXS 9.5%, IFC 5.5%, META 4%, SHOP 7%, WSP 5%, AXON 4%, BRKB 6.5%, ISRG 6.5%, NVDA 2.5%, CRM 2%, AEM 1.2%, BAM 6%, H 1%, LMN 2%, AMZN 5%. I have about 40% cash to add in. Can you please advise of the following: 1. any key stocks you would recommend I add? Please prioritize with 1 being highest recommendation and 5 being lowest recommendation. 2. Any stocks you would recommend I sell? I am interested in a 5 year view. Thank you so much!

Q: Please provide an analysis of the recent issuing of debt by GOOG. They have $100 billion of cash on the balance sheet and oodles of FCF. Feels like they shouldn't need to issue this debt. Do you feel it is a good move or is it concerning in any way?

Q: NVDA down 5% more this morning. From 212$ down to 172$ this morning. Other chip stocks are moving up steady past weeks specially AVGO. Not the darling anymore. Competition taking over?

Q: Hi,
Seeing the drop in NVDA makes me wonder if the talk that Meta is considering buying chips from GOOGL would really reduce NVDA's value this much? If you could weigh in with any comments and thoughts you have regarding this mornings drop I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
