Q: I am rewording a question I recently submitted in the hopes of satisfying 5i's evident concerns with regard to liability.

Theoretically speaking, if YOUR tech holdings were about 19% and included LMN, MSFT, NVDA and UBER...and if YOU held an additional 18% in 'tech like' stocks such as GOOG, AMZN, and VRT....would you personally consider yourself to be overweight, underweight or nicely balanced in terms of your personal tech holdings? Thank you.

Q: You previously mentioned that Pfizer stock might be a value trap. What if investors consider Pfizer stock as a dividend stock, similar to BCE, Telus, or other telecom stocks with limited growth potential? Dividend investors usually focus on the quarterly dividends and the potential risks to the business. What if they buy it for the income and hope for a recovery in the future? Another concern is whether the stock will continue to decline. Please share your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Q: Hi Peter, my son was looking at starting a FHSA investment portfolio. I was thinking of having him start with a small position in NVDA as one of his holdings, would this be a good suggestion seeing that the shares have fallen since the split or would there be better stocks for such an account and if you could suggest some it would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
Given your last reply on well at 16 times forward earnings, is this stock mis priced by the market? I would think for growth company, investors would pile into the stock given the current decrease in rates which help small caps.. Any comments? Also, do you think xsu can go much higher or has it rallied already in expectation of rates going down? Lastly, i know you don't believe in market timing but when some stocks surge due to recent announcements on lower rates, is it worth selling and buying it back when markets settle.. much appreciated.

Q: I am significantly under water in a non-registered account with a holding in NXT, which I bought some months ago. What is your current outlook for the company and the share price going forward? Time to realize the loss and move on? If so, what are some of your current favorite ideas? I have a good number of the companies mentioned by you folks in the Q &A, so 3 or 4 names to choose from would be a help.

Many thanks for your excellent service
