Q: Of these four stocks, Lightspeed seems to be the most volatile. Jumps the most on good days and drops the most on days like Monday.
My son's RESP needs a quick boost - he is going into second year.
Would you buy all four or just Lightspeed and hope for the best? No diversification concerns, just an outright roll of the dice.
Thanks.

Q: Hi! If you listen to Larry Summers from Harvard on Wall Street Week he speaks of stagflation, Fed not raising rates quick enough, and difficulty with getting a soft landing. If you had to create a brand new portfolio today with a tilt towards income and could choose a combination of 16 stocks from either the US and Canada what stocks would you choose?

Q: Hi,
I've long been watching Nvidia and I know you like it a lot. With it's big drawdown I am likely to buy it. My dilemma is I don't have room in my cash or TFSA accounts for it, without either selling other growth companies I like or paying capital gains tax. I do have room in RRSPs. Do you think it would still be worth buying in an RRSP since any growth would be taxed at a higher rate once sold?
Thanks for your perspective.

Q: Hi Peter and team.
Significant losses in all of these over last 3-6 months. Would you bail out on any of them and what could I reinvest in 3 CDN and 3 US that have been similarly beaten down but have a better growth outlook ?
Personal account with a fair balance of 40% US securities currently.
Thanks for all the advice

Q: Hi Peter,

I am fortunate enough to have added the following big tech names to my portfolio recently. I currently do not hold an ETF although have been considering SPY as I have about 20k US at my disposal. Or take advantage of other big names currently on sale?

Do you feel there’s better ETF’s since I currently have full positions of it’s top 5 holdings?

Thanks

Q: I have about 10% of my portfolio in NVDA currently, and am . I have a 20+ year time horizon. Is this too risky of a position to take? Would I be better to put some or all of the money into XQQ, VUG, or GOOG to de-risk and position myself for long term returns?

Q: Hi,
You may have this question already, but if not - what's your assessment of NVDA's earnings report? I know they beat top and bottom, but how hard the management's comments will affect the price longer term I am not sure. I was also unaware of the sec settlement, so if you've anything to add as a comment to that, I would appreciate it!
Thanks for always helping to explain these things - it is very helpful!

Q: I just sold NVDA for a tax loss but will be repurchasing it in 30 days. Would you buy a proxy for it or do you think things will remain unsettled for the next month? If you feel a proxy is prudent, what would your choice be?

Appreciate the insight.

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks

Q: Sadly, APPS is down 65% since I purchased it and now is a mere pittance of my TFSA (.65% of my entire portfolio). Should I hang on and hope for better things? Or sell and use the proceeds to top up an existing holding? If the latter, would you top up NVDA or APPL?

I am also down 25% on LIF, which I purchased primarily for its generous dividend. Can you please explain why the dividend fell so steeply last quarter? And looking into that crystal ball you keep on your desk, what would anticipate will happen to both the stock price and the dividend going forward? Thank you.
