Q: Looking to add BAM.A and SHOP to the porffolio, which would you add first for a youngish investor in a TFSA? Is BAM.A going to be in the dog house for years to come? Does SHOP still have a long runway or have new investors largely missed the boat? Should one wait for a pull back on SHOP before stepping in? Also, considering the added cost of currency conversion, is there any reason to choose QQQ over HXS for in a TFSA? HXS is smaller, but is that much of an issue for retail investors? Please deduct credits as you see fit.
Thanks

Q: Somewhere in my past I read an article that proposed the idea that an investor should develop a list of 10 companies that are so well managed and poised for long-term growth that they could become a 'hold forever' portfolio. I guess you could call them the 'best of the best companies'. I'm 75 years old which seriously limits the amount of time for my investments to grow, so I have begun to think of my investments as ones that my children would benefit from inheriting.
Keeping all this in mind, I would greatly appreciate it if you would provide me with what you consider to be the absolute best 5 Canadian companies to buy AND although I realize you don't deal directly with American companies, the best 5 American companies to include in the portfolio.
Thank-you for your continued support and I would appreciate any suggestions you can give me.

Q: Kraken - Current earnings appear to show modest revenue despite a significant contract announcement some while ago, so I am wondering about the growth prospects for this company. What I would like to ask is whether the market for Kraken's products provide a good opportunity for growth or is it inherently small/limited in prospects?
Greenlane appears to be struggling to break even notwithstanding improving revenue, a (significantly?) larger backlog and what I would call an outstanding quote book which borders on the gigantic. How do you view the prospects for GRN as well as XBC, assuming they don't get Trumped like Questor?
Re DOC and WELL I have been trying to determine whether these two have the same/similar business models or not, as the more recent announcements by DOC have been on the acquisition of clinics to support a team, which appears to be a collaborative model for medical services, while WELL's emphasis appears to be on digital records and remote services. Do these two occupy the same space or are they inherently different and might one offer better prospects than the other?
Thank you for your responses.

Q: Hi guys, what a day for Roku. Thanks for recommending that one. I currently hold roku, square, nvda, and docu. I was contemplating taking profits on a few of those winners and moving into other USA growth stocks. Can you give me your top pics at this time? I have a long term timeframe in mind. Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Good Afternoon,
I heard someone speaking on the tv today about REAL and how they have access to a large amount of data in regards to home inspections that need to be completed to qualify for refinancing. I have never thought of this angle before, all the homes out there that require a new roof, plumbing , windows etc. They are wondering how they can monetize this data . This could be very valuable data in the right hands, thoughts on this concept?
thanks

Q: Hello,
I read somewhere that AAPL took 42 years to reach a 1 trillion market cap and only took 2 years to reach 2 trillion! Sounds like compounding at work. How common is it for mature companies like AAPL to grow at this rate? Which of the other FAANGM companies would you expect some thing like this? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam
