Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Jacques IDS

Q: Apple is right in the middle of the tariff wars from many angles and moving manufacturing the US would be costly. I’ve always considered it but and hold stock. Given its significant declines, along with the other mag 7, would you consider it a hold or with high risk time to sell?

Q: I have the above stocks all at significant $$ losses in my trading account. I don't need to sell any, but am wondering if I should sell and switch to other similar stocks to lock in capital losses. Do you have an opinion on which you'd sell tomorrow - and a proxy for an equivalent or better replacement. And which ones you would keep due to their unique positioning in the current market? I don't really want to sell and wait 30 days to rebuy the same stock.

Q: I've done quite nicely on NVO over the last while and have sold off about a third of my original position at prices close to double the current level. With a few US dollars in my account I am wondering if I should buy back some NVO or look at a part position in ISRG (or another healthcare suggestion from 5i) for diversification.

Thanks for all your advice! Though I ask few questions, I learn "bigly" from those of other subscribers.

Q: With the steep sell-off recently and stock markets coming to terms with a global trade war, which five Canadian and/or US small to mid-cap growth stocks across any sector look most interesting at this point? Looking at starting partial positions as I do not think the bottom is here yet. Thank you

Q: I am, as you put it, sharpening my pencil. Can you comment a bit on the above three companies. How much overlap is there? Which is the one you would rank the lowest of the three? Leaving aside stable mega caps, for the agressive side of my tech holding, are there any others that you would rank in the top 5 to start looking at that are better or roughly in the same class as these? Thank-you.

Q: During his appearance on BBN in November Peter's top picks were CLBT, ROAD, and FOUR.

These are all down substantially since the show.

Did Peter hold those 3 in his actively managed fund when appearing on BNN? Does he still have any or some of them in his fund today?

Thanks
