Q: Hi Gentlemen ,

My US portfolio has a few laggards in it that have underperformed the market. I'm not sure if their underperformance is a temporary blip or a permanent tumor.

I'll list them below so I can get a fresh perspective from you on them and whether you think that they are worth holding or not.

Many thanks.

Q: Hello,

I'm getting a little nervous about the valuation of Square lately and considering Micron or Apple. They are both much cheaper than Square, but how do you see the trade off in terms of growth potential over the next 5 years. Would you stick with SQ, considering a reasonably high-risk tolerance, or make a change? Thank you.

Q: I have $9500 to invest in Technology or Communications ETF.
I have been following IYW & RYT in Tech & VOX in communications as per your PA list, but all are presently at their high so is it okay to buy now or wait till there is a correction and which sector &/or ETF would be best to consider for a RRIF?
Look forward to your response. Thanks!

Q: Could you please give me your latest thoughts on this company. Seems to be a leader in voice recognition. The momentum has been impressive since 2016 and analysts keep ratcheting up share targets. I am thinking of making an investment in my RRSP.

You have provided me with many tremendous ideas over the years!
Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work!!!!

Q: Hello,
I came across an article which discussed an etf, ticker QTUM:US. I went to their website and read their documentation but would like your opinion of this etf.
Some of the holdings are companies you often have good things to say. I know it is small but is that enough of a reason not to buy this etf? Apart from that, any red flags? This would be for my TFSA (one stop shop for tech).
Thanks,
Dan

Q: Can you also make a list of all the companies that trade on both US and Canadian exchanges making them good candidates for stock journaling?

Q: I am thinking about adding IHI to my RRSP but understand that there may be a withholding tax given that it is a US based fund. What is a withholding tax, how much is it, and what are the implications when I go to file my canadian income tax? (I am relatively new to the investment world and don’t want things to get too complicated when having to report losses/ gains)
Thank you for your guidance.
