Q: AAPL, MFST, GOOGL & AMZN are 24% of my portfolio. What would you considered a proper allocation for the Magnificent 7?

Q: I was thinking of adding my recent TFSA contribution to EQB however then started wondering if some of the growth oriented US$ holdings in the account would be a better option. 5I has been positive about EQB but I wonder if it will have a lack lustre performance due to it being in the weak Cdn economy….that is, it may be a good company but limited to how well it can do. Your thoughts about all this, please. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi,

Do you see a pathway for SMCI to be re-listed again in NASDAQ? What are the impediments/enhancers for it to achieve this goal? What do you think is the probability of it suceeding? (In terms of percentage) And if they do succeed, when do you think it will happen? 2025? or 2026? To my untarined and non-professional eyes, SMCI mgmt seem to be doing the right things. But then that's what I thought before it tanked :)
How many Billions they have to pay to settle the law suits or make them go away? If they decide to issue more shares to deal with all these issues, the stock may go down further, no?

Q: I've owned IQLT for a few years now. I've noticed that the VEA top holdings are quite similar to IQLT, but at a significantly reduced MER. Is it really worth paying that much more to continue to hold IQLT? Maybe you have better insight on the differences between the two than I do (?)

Q: Hello Peter and team,

Early December, you said DECK trades at 34X forward earnings, a bit expensive but you like it.

Looking at technicals, it is way above the 200 daily moving average. After the big run it has had for the last 2 years, do you think it would be better to wait before buying, expecting it to retrace back to the 200 DMA?

Do you think it still has room to go higher? What would be your target price?

Thank you!

Q: Hi gang ,
I am looking into buying between VYM OR VFMV. That would be in my granddaughter’s RESP account.

Thanks. Happy holidays .
