Q: Hi folks,
I hold BCE and Telus in my RRSP. Would like to reduce my weighing in BCE. With that money I am looking at adding to one of... GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL or VISA which would bring one of these to a 9% weighing which I'm okay with. May I have your opinion as to which one you would add to and why.
Thanks

Q: My holding of Paypal is at about -40%. I’ve had it since 2020. At this point, would you recommend disposing it and add to other Fintech names ex: Google, MA, Meli?
