Q: First, Thank you for your insights in the last 9 months, your wise words and recommendations made a big difference in the total value of my investment accounts.

In the bad (but good news) I am now way out of whack in my portfolio, 7 of my top ten positions are in technology. I remember JDS fitel and how I let that position grow to 50% of my portfolio only to have it crash down to about 5% of my portfolio and kicking myself for that and promising myself that I would never get into that position again....and here I am. Then the only great returns I was getting was on JDS and Nortel. Now its on US technology stocks and a few Canadian technology stocks , Lspd, Shop and NVei. I know the right thing to do is to rebalance the portfolio but its hard to say goodbye to stocks that are churning ahead most every day to go to slow movers.

I know to get better returns I have to stretch and bulk up on technology but is that the right thing to do or should one bite the bullet and try to keep a balanced portfolio ejecting part of the strong to buy a little more of the "ho hum steady Eddie" stocks. I guess it boils down to what is the maximum percentage of technology stocks that you think one should have in their portfolio and what is the maximum percentage one should have in one stock.

thanks for the great service, Jean

Q: I have a very small position (<1%) with Artis REIT. It has grown smaller as most of my other holdings have increased in value. While I'm down 20% off my purchase price, it's redeeming itself with a nice dividend. But at this point I feel like I should either buy more to bring it up to closer to 2%, or dump it and find something with more growth potential (not necessarily a REIT).
Any advice? Eliminate it or add to it?

Q: Last week on BNN Bloomberg the ceo mentioned that they are supplying to Tesla. On the company website they have technical/ marketing papers that explain the use of their transformers in electric power stations and how there will be large demand for more dry transformers as the demand for charging cars increases. I note they opened a plant in Reno Nevada in January 2020 that is 3 times larger than their other plants nearby and is not meant to replace current plants but to add capacity. Tesla has a big battery factory in Nevada.

Q: Hi, other than GBTC and QBTC, if one wanted to take a flyer in some bitcoin stocks, what would be 2-3 "high quality" Cdn or US names and how would they rank? And any other ETF's other than the two mentioned that could benefit? Thanks!

Q: My holdings in these two companies have grown substantially even though I recently sold a bit of NPI. Given that I think the sector has a very strong future, I am loathe to sell too much even though you'd say I am still overweight the sector (13%, not including other utilities like FTS).

Does it make sense to move some of my holdings into AQN, or would you really prefer to advise me not to let the holdings in this sector get too big?

Thanks for all your help.

Q: I'm now seeing many many people on different social media platforms, including very young people, talking about day trading, leverage, how much money they made on this or another stock. It reminds me very much of the tech bubble when, overnight, everyone became a stock market investor and guru. Are you seeing any of this and is it going to float prices higher do you think?

Q: Myself and my 21 yo daughter have been building a balanced portfolio following your recommendations. Thanks to your service this has been an incredible learning experience for her and profitable to boot! Right now we are trying to decide between PINS NVDA and AMZN to add to her TFSA (We are also adding TT at this time and are balanced across market sectors). Just wonder which you would prefer at this time for potential long long term growth.

Q: Hi, This is a list of potential momentum companies that you had suggested to another member. When I go into the 5i profile for each one, they all have negative P/E's except BKNG.
Am I reading this correctly - are they all losing money?
