Q: Hi, I apologize if this has already been asked - but I am wondering what a Ukraine crisis might do to semiconductors and Nvda in particular (I also have amd and Nxpi). I understand some raw materials used in the chips comes from the Ukraine. I realize it’s hard to say for sure in this market. Also, do you like Nvda at this point? It was disappointing to see it react poorly to what looked like great results. Thanks - and happy family day weekend to the team and readers.

Q: I have to preface this by saying I don't feel the need to be invested in a schizophrenic market. And, have a big preference for stocks with positive momentum.
I am currently 50% invested (5% each) and fairly defensive.
I would appreciate some ideas (Canadian and/or U.S.) to help fill out my portfolio while I wait to get a better feel for the coming year.
Your advice, through the years, helped me to retire early and hope you can make suggestions to guide me through this stretch

Q: I see the US infrastructure plan includes $8 billion to establish hydrogen hubs and enhance hydrogen manufacturing. Since I sold XBC, I have no foothold in the hydrogen space. Is this a good time to invest in hydrogen and can you suggest any possible investments in Canada or elsewhere? Thanks for your guidance.
