Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please rank the following stocks from most to least desirable for a new position:

NBIS, NVDA, LMN, META, CSU, MSFT, APP, TOI, ASML, NOW, OUST, ORCL

Q: We have had two great years of returns and many sectors like Tech, Financials, Materials.. have done really well. I have done some rebalancing heading into year end and am at about 65 % Equity and 35% Fixed Income/Cash. My top 5 holdings are BN, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN, RY.

I am confident (hopeful) that I am well positioned to weather any inevitable drawdown or pullback.

What sectors do you see that could perform well in 2026?

Many Small/Mid Cap stocks have suffered in late 2026 (PRL, GSY, LMN, NBIS, TOI, others) Do you see the Small/Mid cap space as an area to deploy cash in early 2026?

Is there an area of the market that could surprise in 2026?

Please deduct appropriately.

Thank you for your continued support and guidance and have a great Holiday Season!!

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 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: goog msft, and amzn together constitute 39% of my portfolio. Is this too much? Would you reduce some or all? Are gsy and png still among your top picks? Thanks Jim

Q: want to raise some cash(tech breaking down technically) in what order would you sell the above listed stocks bearing some are winners and some are losers so what your recommendation sell winners or losers first without getting in to too much specifics. CSU as an example sell now to claim loss or then buy back after 30 days FFH on the other hand is up 60% so sell now and hope to buy back later at lower price. what would you do? Remember i want to raise cash so how would you approach this rebalancing ...thanks for your help

Q: Would you recommend taking a small position in AI at this point, and if so what would be your first choice in a stock and/or ETF?

Q: For single stock etf's like this (and nvidia, Microsoft, etc), why not just trade around the ex dividend dates to lower risks and take advantage of the juicy (25% for plte!!) distribution? What am I missing with this approach

Q: The only tech stock I own is MSFT. Can you tell me which 2 tech stocks you like from Canada and 1 from the US. This will be for a TSFA account

Thanks

Q: What might be 10 stocks (trading on a usa exchange but not necessarily a US company) that you would suggest holding for all of 2026 as a portfolio. Thank you.

Q: Hello folks,
I am interested in knowing your 1 year price target for GOOG, MSFT, AMZN and META.
I currently own all 4 stocks, and looking to add.
In your opinion which two would have have the higer probabilities of better returns over a 3-5 year time frame?
Secondly, is there any difference stock price appreciation buying them on the US market vs NEO? Any tax difference on what exchange you buy these stocks.
I understand I will be be using up more credits as there is more than one question asked here.
Thank you
