Q: Good morning you fabulous people.

The bloodbath is far too late haha.

I'm looking for the top cyber security company at this time based on future growth and current value.

Is the premium for PANW worth it? Or is FTNT the steal here?

If you have another you'd place above these that's a little ahead of itself (PLTR) please give me your pick.

This is a TFSA holding for me. That is US based growth and longterm.

Thank you!

Q: Is rotation into other investments groups required or necessary in anticipated market correction or as long as the individual portfolio is within the required target one may ignore such event ?

Q: I have some money parked in CBIL and UBIL. Can you suggest any other comparable short-term T-bill ETFs?

Q: I am curious what information you have on BITW and your opinion on the crypto market as a whole. It has a 2.5% mer but remarkable performance YTD. I presently hold IBIT and ETHQ and until recently was a doubter but can not argue with returns to date.

Q: Merry Christmas 5i folks.

Thanks for everything this year. Overall very solid returns achieved.

I was holding ZWT and then added QMAX (to compare for a bit and then consolidate) for Sector exposure, but when I looked at my whole portfolio, AMZN, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG and SHOP, through 40-600% gains (many thanks), have become about a third of my portfolio, but also represent 40 and about 22% of ZWT and QMAX. With their fortunes tied so heavily to my individual holdings, is it worth holding a sector ETF?

Conversely, I kept teeter-tottering on which Canadian bank was going to be "The best" over the next few years +, and not pulling the trigger. Based on some of your other answers recently, I settled on going with a 6% position in ZEB, and am ultimately pretty happy with the lower management fee and equal weighting approach, and having a holding in the financials. Do you think the outlook for the financial space over the next few years would justify a higher weighting? Would adding a small position in PRL or something make it more complete?

On the small caps side of things, I have positions in PNG, TCS, CLBT, TMDX, ASPN, HPS and CALF. CALF has been sort of... uninteresting, and I'm considering selling it and initiating a couple more small caps for more torque. Front runners currently are VHI, ZDC, WELL, MDA. Thoughts? Any others you would put in there? Would you dump ASPN for UFPT?

Given how weak the Canadian dollar is right now, would you prioritize US or dual listed companies? Or will Canadian ones get a 'Double boost' if we can get some strength back in the loonie?

Thanks for everything, and Have a great new year!

James
