Q: Hi Team,
Shop is falling again today despite earnings beats and price target increases across the board. Is it a good time to buy the shares from todays profit takers? Also in general do you see this market sell off sparked by the fitch downgrade of the US credit rating a buying opp? There has been some brutal sell offs over the last 2 days. Which names would you be looking to buy in this weakness? Thanks

Q: I would like to increase my exposure to US large cap healthcare, currently own PFE and ISRG. Can you recommend another company that would be complementary to these holdings or would you simply add to the existing positions? Also own some smaller names in this sector e.g. WELL but am interested in increasing the large cap exposure. Thank you.

Q: On or about July 22 Inmode and ISRG had quite a tumble. I added to ISRG and bought Inmode. They are not participating with this rally. They are still at the lows on the date recently mentioned. You know more about these 2 stocks than I do. Is there any reason no one seems to be interested in them? Thank you again,

Q: Peter and crew; I currently hold positions in both CIBC and TORONTO Dominion banks. Both have sat in my portfolio to give balance to a tech heavy US investment program. As a growth investor my thinking is to sell both banks, and add to my U S stocks. Can you share with me your one year opinion on Canadian banks and as well suggest 3 or 4 US growth stocks for a1 to 5 year hold.. I have a fairly high risk tolerance and patience

Q: Repligen is trading close to the 52-week low and would welcome your analysis of their recent operating performance and market potential looking forward.  Post-pandemic and mindful of competitors in the same space does their stock have any opportunity to excel in the coming year, and if held as a position in a long-term growth portfolio, could you please rank the appeal of Repligen in descending order versus your go-to favorites in the same general space.  Thanks kindly for your thoughts.

Q: hi, portfolio analytics says I am underweight basic materials, consumer defensive, healthcare and industrials. can you provide a few Canadian and US equities in each category, that you would consider for medium to long term investment.
cheers, chris ( take as many credits as you need ).
further, I am overweight in utilities ( 18.6% of total holdings ) and financials ( 25.5 %). do you recommend trimming these 2 sectors? and in financials I own BN and BAM ( which I would suspect actually have cross-over with other sectors? )??
cheers, chris
