Q: I bought NVIDIA years ago and have been considering trimming as I’m overweight, and now want to take advantage of stocks that have recently dropped. I am a long term investor focused on growth with medium-high risk, what 3-4 stocks Canadian and U.S. do you recommend to help compliment my holdings? My US holdings are GOOG, COST, ISRG, V and my CAD tech holdings are CSU, TOI, KXS, and STC.

Q: TCN has been absolutely crushed in this market. Do you continue to like the company?
If so why? Would now be a reasonable time to acquire shares or would it be better to continue sitting on the sidelines until we see some signs of interest rates stabilizing? And what is your sense as to when this might happen?

Q: In your answer to my previous question on SYZ you said that earnings are expected to decline in 2022 but grow at a faster rate in 2023 .... Can I assume that the Simply Wall Street link I referenced is incorrect in their claim that earnings will decline by 32.4% PER year for the next three years ? .... Which I would assume to be 2022, 2023, and 2024 ...... If this is true I'll likely avoid the stock so I want to verify it's accuracy ......

Q: Would you be able to give some thoughts on the recent price action of NTR? I had wanted to pick some up, but waited for a pull back. Got some under $130, saw it pull back some more and got some more at about $120. It's still dropping however, and I'm a bit perplexed as to why it is dropping. Thank you.

Q: I hold WSP from 5i's Balance Portfolio and wonder if this stock is over priced in this market with a forward P/E of 22.8x (according to Koyfin). Just prior to COVID in January 2020, WSP traded around $96 and now it is about 40% more. Is WSP over priced in this market? What is their main focus on the consulting front?
Thanks!

Q: How do the pipelines make their income ? Is it a fixed toll on flow that increases with volume ? Is it dependant on the commodity price ? Does the route of the pipeline; ie: the scarcity of capacity of a given route matter ? Is this a good entry ? Are tight commodity supplies good or bad for pipelines ? Thank you.

Q: I find the dividend you mentioned in your latest alert of 7% attractive.

How well is the dividend covered and under what circumstances do you feel it would not be covered.

Do you think that is at all likely?
