Q: Would you be able to provide a grading for the following stocks as you currently have for CND companies in the Report section? Would appreciate your thoughts, +A through E for the selected companies.

Any chance you’ll be adding US companies to the Reports one day?

Thanks

Q: I am overweight in tech by about 10% in my portfolio and I should sell some positions to increase my exposure in other sectors. What is your conviction in order of preference on APPL, CSU, NVDA, OTEX, TTD and TOI if I need to sell some portions or all of any of these holdings?

Q: A little fun. If you had to select a maximum of 10 stocks to purchase and hold for 20 years, which ones would you choose? In this scenario, 100% of all available funds today and in the future would continue to go into these same positions (assuming they continue to exist). There are no parameters on geography, sector or size. The objective is pure growth.

Q: Greetings 5i,

The company's listed are TFSA holdings. The goal of the TFSA is moderately aggressive growth. Time frame is 4-8 years. Equities are purchased in equal weights and rebalanced based on weighting.

SLF and BNS are also held in other accounts, at an overall portfolio percent of ~5-6%. Which would you recommend adding to at this time? What do you consider the weakest from this list? Would you consider removing any from the TFSA holding only in either a non reg or reg account? If so, why? And which one, two or three additional growth oriented companies, either CAD or USD would you recommend.

Take as many credits as required.

Thank you for the excellent service.

Short term and 2. long term? Thanks again.

Q: Good morning,

It looks like NVDIA posted excellent results - would like your take on the results and also your advice for someone who wants to start a position. Do you think it is wise to invest now or wait a little, and what would be a good entry price? The markets seem a little jittery as of late.

Thank you!

Q: Hi,

I’m looking to either add to or start a new position in my TFSA, 3-5 year timeline (or longer), with a high risk tolerance. Can you suggest a few companies (no preference Can/US). I currently already have small positions of both Topicus and Eglx inside my TFSA, so I’m also considering just adding the new funds to either of these. Thanks for the great service you provide!

Q: My nephew recently built a PC and we got talking about processors. He suggested that many companies, such as NVDA, have increased sales due to their usefulness for Bitcoin mining operations which has, in turn, driven up the price of graphic cards. If one was concerned that Bitcoin is a tulip, how would you go about trying to think through the relationship between bitcoin mining and chip sales and component prices? Your ideas are most welcome, Thanks.

Q: Hello! I am tech heavy and don’t mind the extra volatility for a growth centric portfolio. Recently I am adding 10% of capital to my investments, considering a balance for the overall portfolio and tactical sector positioning, would you be able to recommend 5 Canadian and 5 US names each you are most convicted in for new capital deployment? Thanks very much.

Q: I have 1.4% of my total portfolio in AMZN in a TFSA. I realize this isn't much of a commitment and am tempted to sell and invest the money instead in one of my other TFSA holdings (all of which are around 3%): LSPD, NVDA, APPS, ADBE or GOOG. Your advice, please.
