Investment Q&A

Q: Have you seen any news from MPWR regarding the Edgewater Research report suggesting the company could lose
part of its business with chip maker Nvidia?

Thank you.

Q: I am down 1/3 in ATS in a TFSA and want to move into something with some momentum.
Please provide a handful of suggestions for a growth name I can buy and forget in the short term.
Any sector. Canadian and US, but US preferred. I may also consider a growth-oriented ETF that might prove low-maintenance for the next 10 years.
Thank you in advance, your input is always appreciated and certainly helpful.

Q: Everyone, what is your opinion on US large tech going forward. Apple, Amazon,, Google, Microsoft, Nvda etc. Clayton

Q: The following stocks are all up nicely: AXON, PANW, NVDA, COST, ISRG, META, TTD and CRWD. All are mid size positions in my portfolio. Where do you see the markets going in January? Would you recommend trimming any of these stocks? Would you suggest holding more cash going into the new year? Thank you

Q: Is Peter and team still bullish on NVDA not withstanding Super Micro's issues?

Q: To this point in time LMN has been a solid performer in my TFSA. Recent results and some of your comments have "cooled" my expectations going forward.

Do you have 2 CDN and 2 US stocks for a TFSA 3 year plus hold that you feel will substantially outperform LMN.

Thanjs,

Terry

Q: My tech holdings consist of CSU, KSX, TOI, QQQ, XIT, & TEC. What other equites would you advise looking at so I am covered in all things tech related including AI, Cyber and Semi-conductors? My preference in this order is 1} ETF 2 } Mutual fund 3} Individual stocks.

Thank you

Paul

Q: Nvidia has grown to be just over 10% of my portfolio. That is getting a little high for me, I am thinking to bring it down to around 8%. Not sure whether to sell some prior to the earnings report or wait until after. Any thoughts?

Q: Hi there,

You’ve often advised to ‘let the price of good stocks run.’ Does this mean that as long as a stock is performing well, it’s okay not to rebalance, even if it becomes a large part of the portfolio? For example, 100 shares bought 10 years ago might now be worth over half a million if left untouched. I’m curious if professionals would rebalance successful stocks like NVDA. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

Q: I would appreciate you explain in clear and vulgar words in what consists exactly this etf, its interaction with the nvda stock and in which circumstances it could be envisaged to buy some parts.

I thank you very much in advance

Q: Hi. My wife and I are in the process of rebalancing our portfolio. We're in our 70s and our portfolio has treated us well. Unfortunately our winners have grown to create a portfolio that is now 70% tech and 30% cash.

We'd like to bring our Nvidia and Apple holdings from just over 20% for each to around 10 or 12%.

Where would you reinvest the proceeds of the sale outside of the tech sector?
What 5 top US companies and 5 Canadian companies would be your favourites and why?

Thanks
Frank

Q: Good Morning
I’m planning on lightening up my technology weighting, specifically AI related stocks. Can you suggest a couple of US companies that are showing good momentum?
Thank you

Q: I have a good sized position in VRT a smaller one in NVDA. I want to add to one of them. For growth in the next 2 years which would be better, Why.
Thank You
Peter

Q: At this stage in the game if you had to choose one to hold which would you pick? Or would you go 50-50. Thanks!

Jason

Q: Last winter I was lucky enough to buy some NVDA shares. I do need USD for Florida. My question is, I decided to sell enough shares to cover my initial cost. I am now playing with just profit. What would my adjusted cost base be. O or the original price of the shares. It is in a TFSA.

Q: I am still toying with RRSP strategies - I have about 50% of my RRSP in US funds and 50% in Canadian funds. I plan on starting to draw my RRSP down in January and need about an 8% annual return, including dividends and growth for the next 10 years. I have slowly been rolling my Canadian side toward your income portfolio, and am about half-way there. On the US side, I hold the above positions. What are your thoughts on the following - mirroring your income portfolio with the Canadian side, and on the US side hold a combination of ETF's/Equities, or just ETF's. I have been actively growing my RRSP (with success thanks!) But hope to be able to spend less time on it once I retire. The above idea means, for the Cdn side, I can continue to follow your moves on the income portfolio. For the US side, I will continue to monitor/rebalance, but I don’t want it to be a daily task - please suggest a tactic, including whether to mix equities/ETF's, or just go to one or a few ETF's, and please suggest holdings in either tactic. Thanks!

Q: In a recent answer you listed ten top US growth stocks. The list did not include NVDA. Has it really fallen that far on your list of best US growth names? Thank-you.

Q: You were not very happy with LMN latest results. The stock has jumped and I was thinking of selling some shares. I own CSU, TOI, DSG, NVDA, KXS, Could I have some ideas on a stable growth name or do I add to a stock I already own.

Q: I own small positions in both companies: ARM and NVDA, and I am in the green on both...

- I like them both...

- Please add 2 cent comments on both...

- Would you Add to Both or Just One at this point...Or??

Thanks,
M

Q: By my calculations, OTEX is trading at 8X forward earnings and 10% FCF yield. At current price it has a 3.5% dividend yield. According to TD Cowen's analysis the stock could see a 33% return over the next 12 months if it meets the low end of its forecast. So why are all the buy side analysts downgrading the stock or maintaining their hold rating? Isn’t it time to buy when there's blood on the street and you feel sick in your stomach? Has anything changed in its business fundamentals?
