Q: Hello 5i,

It is time for the magical orb to let us know where to invest with a 3-5 year time frame. Everything looks foggy and scary with fairies signaling an impending catastrophe. There may be good deals and then again it could be a mirage and all hell will break loose in coming months. Let's put a happy face on and make a few selections.
Please choose your top 10 stocks in US or Canada to buy or add to today.
Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Not necessarily looking to find the next Shopify (although I wouldn't be upset if I did) but rather strong names that you have the most confidence in over the next 10 years.

Thanks

Q: The 2021 market hasn't been as fun the 2020 market, though I'm optimistic for a much improved remainder of 2021 - like 2020.

All things considered, if you were to pick up five stocks that have sold off (US/CDN) for a 5 year hold, what would they be?

Q: Hi Peter, in the semi space we have AMD, NVDA, QRVO, ON, and MKSI. Knowing that NVDA is your favorite would you exit or trim any of these ? In Tech what do you think happens if/when the big guys AAPL, GOOGL etc and then the smaller guys report more good earnings numbers ? Will this boost them or are we past that for now ? Thanks for all you do !

Q: I’m adding to a partially established portfolio (growth-oriented, long-term). I’m interested both in taking advantage of the recent tech downturn (although not too much, as I’m already somewhat tech-heavy) and in further diversifying. Two questions:

1. I own partial positions in the following securities and am looking to add more. Could you rank them in your order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

WELL, SHOP, ATZ, STC, PHO, ENGH, KXS

2. I’m considering buying positions in the following new securities (not easily comparable, I know), with a view to diversity and growth, as well as US exposure. Could you rank them in order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

BNS, SLF, PLC, MG, LAC, REAL, TFII, NVDA.US, ROKU.US, SQ.US

Thanks for your great work and please feel free to dock me for two questions.

Q: My son hold these tech stocks and really need to start to invest in US tech stocks as all his holdings are in Canada. He would need to sell some of these holdings to get cash so he could convert to US dollars and then buy 2 US stocks. Which stocks would you sell first and can you provide 2 US that are similar to the stocks that he would sell. He has a RRSP account so no capital gains to worry about. He has 20 years before needing to withdraw.
Thanks
