Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Lately I contributed some cash into my RRSP. I owns many Canadian companies as you have in your demo portfolios. I also have US shares of QCOM, Google, Twitter, AYX, SQ. I am thinking of adding 2-3 of US stocks in my list above. What will you recommend? Or do you have other stocks that have good growth potentials in the long term?
Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Taking a bit of a blood bath on Canntrust (-68%) and NVDA (-24%) watching Aurora Cannabis plummet and have some of that too. Get out now, buy or hold? Recommendations for alternatives with growth potential appreciated depending on your thoughts on the above 3.
Thanks.

Q: I hold the above positions in the Information Technology sector of my US dollar portfolio that is balanced and well diversified. I am now able to add 1 or 2 Information Technology sector positions. Please provide me with your suggestions including weightings.
Also if you think that the above positions overlap one another, please let me know......Many thanks.....Tom

Q: Hi team. NVDA had a nice jump today (26th). Any news? Would you expect more of the same in the near future? I'm thinking of adding.
Cheers for now.

Q: Good Day All,
I am increasingly convinced that AI will be a growth area as we move forward and would like your recommendations for the best ETF and best individual Canadian stock to play the sector over the next 3-5 years or longer.
Thank you

Q: With recent blacklist Huawei by US, which companies sales will be impacted since Huawei imports millions of dollars hardwares from all over the world? As results of that, will their stock price be impacted as well?

Thanks,

Q: Thinking of 3-4 year play in some combination of this group. Risk is not the primary concern. Is this a viable strategy for a small portfolio segregated from other assets? What combination, if any, would you recommend? AYX momentum seems to be slowing. Is that a concern from your perspective?

Q: I bought NVDA a year ago at a 3% investment. I am now down to 1.5%. Hold, sell, top back up? I do have some cash to do so. This is in my TFSA. I am ok for a 5 year hold.

Q: Can you please comment on the following Companies with regards to how you see them performing over the next year and specific to SNC, would you cut losses or continue to hold and hope it turns around in the longer term (3-5 yrs).

Q: Good morning
Which would be the best company in AI to invest in ???

Q: Hello 5i,

We are looking for advice on stocks that should be held in a US account rather than a CDN account. Our RBC RRSP has both CDN and US funds available. After reading several questions and answers it is clear that we are very confused about this topic. We are hoping questions below can help us grasp a general rule of thumb on which currency should we purchase and hold stocks for our RRSP's.
e.g.
1. should stocks that pay dividends in US funds be held in the US account or CDN account if they can be purchased in either currency? i.e. AQN, BAM
2. if we buy a stock such as Google (no dividend) to hold for a long time should this be purchased with US funds or CDN funds. Is this a stock that should be in a TFSA instead of an RRSP?
3. if we buy and sell lows and highs on stocks without dividends such as AMZN, and BABA, (2-3 transactions per year) should this be purchased on the US or CDN side of our RRSP.
4. if we are to purchase an ETF that pays a dividend in US funds should this be purchased and held in US funds?

Thank you for your help.
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Please comment on the impact of recent US China tariff & Huawei development on these stocks. Which will suffer long term adverse effect ? Most come down a lot on May 20. Thanks a lot.

Q: Would appreciate your assessment of the merits of continuing to hold half-positions in BOX, NVDA, SQ, and SPOT, in search of above-average returns going forward and comfortable with risk. If you were on the sidelines, would you initiate new positions in any of the holdings, or alternatively are there merits in reducing any of these positions today in favour of more attractive risk/return opportunities in the US technology space (and if so, which tech opportunities have captured your recent favour)? Thanks for excellent services rendered.

Q: Can you give your top 3 stocks in Canada and US that you would pickup if the market turbulence continues this week?

Q: Hi peter, can you shade some information about this company. Are they making any money? Would you put your money. Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Given the pull back on NVDA over the past 2 days, would you suggest that anything has changed for long term view of here? Would you anticipate more drop leading up to the 16th?

Q: I need to reduce my tech holdings, especially over the top with SHOP, but not complaining. Would you please give me your best momentum stocks, Canadian or US in any sector other than tech? I can tolerate some risk. Many thanks.

Q: Can you please offer your 3 best ideas to add to a TFSA. This may include, Canadian, US Stocks or ETFS.
