Q: I have purchased the above US stocks in the last 6 months. AMZN is down 15%, CRWD is down 27% and LNTH is down 25%. The rest are in the green. AMZN position size is twice as large as CRWD and LNTH. I have $10,000 more to deploy. Would you do a 33% split on the 3 or what are your thoughts on this?

Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I’ve often heard that a handful of stocks can provide life changing returns. If you had to pick 5 (or more) that could be life changing, which would they be in preferential order?

Thanks!

Q: I am managing RESPs for a two-year-old and a 4 -year -old grandchildren so there is a very long runway before they will need to start cashing in. The funds to invest available so far are fairly limited. I would like to add some US stocks but not sure it is worth the fees to convert to US $ and most of the good companies have high-priced shares. But I am familiar with Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) and that there is a pretty wide selection of stocks available.
Can you suggest 4 of your favourite of these US CDRs that would be suitable for this type of investment?
Thank you.
David

Q: Hi,
I am up 84% in CELH in my TFSA. Considering selling 1/2 position and using the funds to purchase NVDA.
It will help me diversify because the only other US stock I have is GOOG.
Willing to wait 2 or 3 years to see NVDA return to it's former glory.
Sounds ok?
Or do you think CELH is just starting to really ramp-up and I should stay with it.
Thanks for your input.

Q: I am down on all of these by about 20%. If I sell them for a tax-loss harvest, what should I do for proxies? Also, since I have no capital gains for 2022, should I sell these stocks/ETFs in January to avoid a jump in stock price before the end of the year (as tax-loss harvesting season ends)?

Q: For a long term hold would you prefer DOL or ATD or is there another Consumer Defensive company you would recommend?
Also with growth as the objective and for a long term hold please rank SHOP, CSU, MSFT and NVDA.
Thank you.

Q: YTD: CSU -20%, NVDA -52%, MSFT - 33%, AMD -57%, AAPL - 22%.

These five were a big part of my best year in '21 and they're a big part of my worst ever year ion '22. So it goes. Having stubbornly ridden them down, not wanting to have locked in a loss, do I assume correctly that you still like all these names and would advise hanging in for the rebound?
