Q: I would appreciate your comments on these ETFs [plus Capital Group Growth which did not register- CGGR] - my earlier question was too broad. How to go about assessing them one against the other. Would appreciate guidance on which ones are keepers for long-term hold. How would you evaluate them. Thanks

Q: To the gentleman who responded to my earlier question on this issue - the revenue for the past quarter was $168.6M vs $152.7M estimated, although I am not sure where the latter figure came from, but the forecast revenue for Q4 is only $132M which is down substantially, and not up, from their current revenue of $168.6M; hence my question and concern. Rational analysis indicates that the prevailing rate of growth will not be sustained in Q4 and the past quarter(s) was/were an aberration for reasons unknown to me for certain. Can you please elaborate.

Q: This T Rowe Price ETF is a US equity only .31% MER broad based ETF spun out from a Lipper and Morningstar award winning fund that was approximately 60% equity with a variety of fixed income holdings making up the remainder. David Giroux the manager is highly respected. Could you look at the holdings and the long record of the fund that gave birth to this ETF and provide your critical review. I would like to average in to at least a 10% holding as I see this as a strong long term sleep at night well managed reasonable cost candidate. Thank you.

Q: I've held XYZ in a reg account for a while now awaiting a recovery (down 50%) that never seems to take hold. I have to imagine there are much better opportunities, particularly in the US tech space. What would be some suggestions for replacement I could explore. I've had my eye on FOUR for a while, thoughts on this one as well would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Q: Just wondering if you have any thoughts regarding two companies that operate in the footwear category: Deckers and Skechers. These companies appear attractive because of their offerings in the marketplace. Deckers owns the hugely popular HOKA brand while Skechers has developed the step in technology which, I think, is a game changer.

Are you comfortable with either or both for small positions in an otherwise diversified portfolio.

Thank you

Brad

Q: Using your SMID rotation theme in the i2i report, please suggest a basket of stocks that fit this theme and an entry price if it's beneficial to wait for a pullback. Would you look at buying, for example, 5 or so at 2%? Thanks!

Q: Can you name a handful of ETF options for long term holds in my son's RESP account. Growth, dividend, and balanced. Looking for exposure in Canada and USA. I don't want the headache of managing stocks for this portfolio. I'd rather have something that I can just buy and not look at it for 15 years until he needs it.

Q: Can you walk through possible reactions of the market when NBIS reports next. Given that the financials are reflecting both the old Yandex and the very new NBIS there is a severe disconnect and fog about what is happening.
Who is buying the stock now and will the market be able to sort out a clear picture of a stock which will apparently show a dramatic drop in revenue in the report.

Q: Good morning,

I have read a fair bit on PLTR and would like your opinion on it's future prospects and what you think of the companies balance sheet/debt ect..

Could PLTR be like Tesla or Netflix from the early 2000's? I remember looking at both of those companies and stocks and at the time using a value approach and just couldn't buy them prices were 24$ and 16$ at the time, those were some missed opportunities. Could PLTR be that or is it a GAME STOP stock?

Thanks

Q: One of your readers noticed that you made a great call on this one! Now that it's more in the public eye, would it still be worth jumping in after it's sudden and rapid price increase? If not, what are two or three other US stocks that you see as high growth over the relatively short-term to midterm?
