Investment Q&A

Q: What differentiates NXT from other recent IPO’s such as ARRY or FTCI to make NXT a top solar investment idea for 2024?

Q: Good day,

I manage about 20% of my portfolio, and the portion I don't (LIRAs and some RRSPs) is 90% in a fairly balanced growth portfolio, 10% in a green energy portfolio.

Recently, my big wins in NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, and ZWT had me hugely weighted in those names. I've sold a significant portion, bought some NXE, RHC, DE, and am thinking of either doubling/tripling up on ZWT, or selling ZWT and then doing a sort of double or triple position in another tech ETF with decent liquidity and keeping a smaller position in my high confidence tech names.

I've seen a lot of 'focused' tech ETFs around, like semiconductor, cybersecurity, data center, etc, in addition to the broader ones, but don't want to get soaked too badly with fees. Are there a few specialized tech ETFs you would recommend that are well managed and have a solid foundation of holdings? Also, for ZWT, would you triple up, or do you think the covered call strategy will be detrimental in a market/interest rate recovery? Is there a small/mid cap tech option you like?


Moving away from tech, there's been a lot of buzz about small caps getting ready to blow. What are your 5 top picks, Canadian and US small caps with a balance of moderate high risk, moderate high reward, for a medium to long hold? Are there a few non tech small cap names you like? Say 3 US and 3 Canadian?

Are there some good small cap ETFs that cover either recovering sectors, areas of growth, or whole class that you like?

On the energy side I have SU, PPL, GXE, NXE, and BIP, so perhaps nothing in that space unless you see a link I'm really missing in my energy portfolio.

Thanks for everything!!

Q: Hi team,

In your reply to Ric this morning, you provided an interesting list of Canadian agressive growth stocks.

Could you provide a list of aggressive US growth stocks ?

Gratefully,
