Q: I hold IRBT as an AI prospect in the US and am down about 20%. Earlier today you mentioned BOX has an AI component. Of the two companies, which do you see as having higher growth prospects for a 5-10 year hold, and risk wise are they similar? Should I consider a switch to BOX? Thanks so much.

Q: My IT stocks have grown to 24% and I want to scale back to 20%. Currently SHOP 7%; ZQQ 7%; KXS 4%; OTEX 4%; PHO 2%. I am thinking of reducing SHOP to 5%; selling ZQQ and OTEX and buying AMZN 4.5% and SQ 4.5%. Your comments greatly appreciated. I know the valuation of OTEX is much lower than either AMZN or SQ but the growth in these two stocks are much higher.

Q: HI Peter, Would you recommend adding to RHS as its price is lower now. Or you would prefer 4-5 companies solid blue chip dividend paying companies to buy and hold ( avoid MER and capture more dividend). In that case also, can you please rank them in order of your preference. UL, PEP, HRL, K, or any other of your favorites.
Much Thanks.

Q: Our son is 14 and his RESP is about $80K. It owns Amazon, Facebook, Nvidia, Alphabet (equally) and Knight (24%), reflecting his lifestyle and my faith in GUD. Can you temporarily overlook weighting, etc. and suggest one more US stock with some potential torque for a 5 year hold? Risk is not a factor. If this account craters, he will still get any education he aspires to before he heads out on his own...
Thank you.

Q: I have been a member long enough to recognize that "ok" is a downgrade from "fine" when you comment on stocks.
That is what has transpired between Aprill 11 and 25 in responses regarding Micron.
Would you recommend Micron for a 4-5 year hold with the hope that it is closer to the two separate $100 targets rather than the recent $35 target due to pricing concerns.
Thank you.

Q: In our RRSP we hold the above etfs for US exposure. Does 5i see any sector not covered with these ETFs?
Or would you recommend selling any of these ETFs due to too much overlap? We are approaching retirement, but I don’t think that would be a factor in this question. Thank you
