Q: As a follow up to my previous PL question. I don’t want to sell to early or waste time on a stock that has stopped it’s dividend and will be flat. When should we know that know one else is coming in to raise the bid or that the offer will be raised.
It’s sounds like the big shareholders are on board. Thank you for your timely advice.

Q: I was fortunate enough to purchase SHOP early on in what is now a RRIF and I sold some of the position to cover my initial cost. It has now grown to about 15% of the portfolio. I understand the merits of diversification but why sell a stock like this when not much else looks better and would be expensive. The odds of finding a similar story at its early stage are equally daunting. SHOP may at sometime fail to meet the inflated expectations but it is still worth holding even if it is suddenly worth just 12% of the portfolio. Tell me why I am wrong.

Q: Is there any news regarding patten energy solutions ( pttn )? It has gone up 3000%. I got 41000 stocks years ago from some stock transaction and just forgot about it because it was only worth like $8. Now it is worth $300 and I am just thinking of selling it. Is there any credibility to its resent upswing? Thanks Jeremy.

Q: I had no inflation protection in my portfolio so I bought KL. Analyzing the stock my eyes saw $$. Is it just me or is there a serious price mismatch in the market with this company? I know you side with AEM but its a lot more expensive. Can you talk me out of buying more if the price keeps going down?

Q: I have held Cisco for 5 years -up about 50% plus dividends. I am thinking about exiting it for a more interesting stable growth story in the hardware/software business. Qcom is one idea but would appreciate any other ideas or should i just hold on to Cisco for any future growth and the dividend?
thanks

Q: Has Apple said they are building a car or is this only a rumour. If true would Magna not be a better partner than Kia or others ?
If this was to be true any idea if this moves the stock price of each meaningfully ?
I hear of another rumour Apple may get into crypto, if this happens both crypto and Apple stock goes much higher. If Musk was able to move the needle this week, I am guessing Apple would move it much more, please comment ?
Thanks

Q: Hello, your thoughts on participating in this IPO? Does their management and technology compare well to their competitors? In this sector, I only own XBC and have done very well, so I'd like to add another. Would this be a worthy addition for a quick pop or long-term hold? This would be less then 5% of my portfolio and I have a high risk tolerance. If not, what sector picks would you suggest. Much thx.

Q: I have purchased your Portfolio Analytics tool - so far so good. For my RRSP, I need to increase stock holdings from 2% (average) to 5%. This will assist me to better align my industry allocation while increasing my average stock percentage . Do you feel its a good time/right stocks to bring to a 5% holding - PBH, WSP, WELL and SIS? All are currently at approx. 2% and I have a 17 year investment horizon. If you feel WELL is too much risk can you suggest another health stock?
