Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In your reply to Dan regarding Amazon and high valuations you mentioned being cautious on companies with “commodity like” businesses receiving high valuations.
Could you give a couple of examples with a couple of explanatory comments so members will have a guideline on these things and know what to watch for.
Thank You for your great service

Q: Can you please provide an updated view on FSLY? I have ridden the rollercoaster back to where I started and would like some insight from you in order to help me make a decision to hold or sell. I am growth-focused and therefore not overly concerned with risk, but I don't want to continue holding it without a reasonable shot at recovering the growth it has shown earlier this year. I believe that my portfolio is well diversified, including exposure to other stocks in FLSY's segment. Thanks.

Q: These companies are all operating a cloud platform that delivers a range of network services to business world. Are they basically similar so they are competing against one another? If I am interested in this space, should I buy them all in equal weight? or just one or two names? Your thoughts please. Thanks.

Q: My powder keg is dry waiting for the covid 2nd wave and in my opinion anticipated second market adjustment. The recent jitters made me realize I haven't made my buy plan for my cash...I am pleased with my portfolio and don't have any huge gaps, I am slowly switching from growth to income so am looking more toward your income portfolio for inspiration. In Canada ENB and H looked like good buy options and I already own Suncor so would top up on that as well to a full position. In the USA I am leaning towards P&G and Coke. These complement my current holdings and I feel these additions will do OK in a possible extended covid induced economic slowdown as well as be good long term income holdings.

Any names you wished you had added on the last drop or names you are watching with interest?

Q: I am negative on subject three U.S. companies (FSLY, TWLO, ISRG) While these companies may be good growth companies if held long enough, I would appreciate your suggestions of several U.S. and Canadian companies that are likely to have more near term growth, any market segment and I have much risk tolerance. Thanks.

Q: News from the US today on UNC going to strictly online learning has to be the first of many such stories. I know CHEGG is a prominent US name that could benefit from schools scrambling to move online but I would like to ask if you can provide some names of companies that will benefit if either elementary, secondary or post secondary schools are hastily shut down? I listed a few that might do well on the headlines and would like your thoughts on each but also would like to know who will be fuelling the transition if it happens (cloud, security etc). To put it another way, who else stands to benefit if "back to school" is quickly reversed. Deduct as you see to be fair please.

Q: Hello,
For a TFSA with a long term horizon (5+ years) would you please rank these companies, keeping in mind their current valuation?
Also, are there any that you would shy away from/not consider?
Thanks for your help

Q: It appears that a potential US ban on TikTok, and MSFT's pursuit of TikTok, have impacted FSLY's recent share price because TikTok is such a large customer of theirs. Are there other factors driving down its market price at the moment? In light of all these factors do you rate FSLY sell, hold or buy at its current price for a 3-5 year horizon? I am not concerned about diversification or risk exposure in the rest of my portfolio. Thanks.
