Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Target allocation to Tech is up to 17%. Currently, of that amount, I have V at 34% of the sector [less than 6% of total portfolio], GIB at 22%, and the rest as follows: CSU 8%, MSFT and SHOP at 7% each, DOCU at 5%, leaving about less than 20% for investment [could go to 25% if sell DOCU].
My watchlist is broken down into;
a) Tech equipment: SPLK, SNPS, KEYS, NVDA;
b) software: KXS, TTD, TEAM.
Of course, there are so many others that you have recommended.
So, please advise on narrowing the list - building on my current holdings or otherwise.

Q: I am looking to better allocate some USD in my RRSP. I currently hold IWO and want to build on this with 3 holdings in strong US growth companies/ industries that are proven capital compounders for the long term. I am considering Google and Mastercard and am looking for one more compliment assuming you like the 2 mentioned. Also would you prefer MA over V? My timeframe is 10 years +
Thank you!

Q: So this has been the dog of my portfolio for some time. It does pay me to hold but given the balance sheet and the lack of any momentum, is it worth moving on?

Do you have a recommendation for similar with better upside potential and a dividend _ could be smaller but needs to be growing.

Thanks

Q: What Canadian listed ETFs that are invested more so in growth stocks would be suitable for a TFSA with a mid to long term horizon? I wish to have geographic diversification through one or more ETFs and one or more ETFs investing in small to mid-cap stocks.
