Q: I have some nice gains on above listed companies. I am thinking of selling a few shares and use the proceeds to invest into related companies for diversification purposes.
What do you think of this strategy and what would be one or two suggestions for companies related to my list.
Thank you!

Q: For earning short term interest, in the past I have bought BA's and CP issued by Canadian Banks. I am now considering PSA and CASH.......which show better yields with lower buy/sell commissions. So - it seems like a no-brainer to put short term cash investments into PSA which shows an indicative yield of 5.5% - versus BA's CP or CASH. Am I missing anything here - does an investment in BA's or CP have advantages over buying PSA?? Does CASH have advantages over PSA despite the lower yield??
Thanks
Q: Everyone, my tech portfolio is as follows: AAPL, AMZN, CSU, MSFT and NVDA. Is VRT a company to buy and hold forever or a stock buy for a few years and reassess. I.E. is its moat (people, technology, business plan, etc) wide enough to keep ahead of its followers Clayton
Q: I have a few questions re the upcoming Tesla Shareholder vote in June.
1. Do you have any thoughts re how the markets may react if Elon Mush does not get what he wants re his compensation package (in the short and long terms). My thoughts are that the price may drop quite a bit (in the short term) if he does not get what he wants; however, long term I feel that Tesla still has great potential. The reason I am confused with my (short term) logic is that if Elon does not get what he wants, it is the result of shareholders voting against it (so why would the price drop if that is what shareholders want – unless it could cause a sell off for those that wanted the package)?
2. If we feel that the price of shares will drop and wanted to insure our investment, I know that we can buy ”puts”; however, in one of your postings you mentioned that this was an expensive way to do so and that you were going to write something up. I am wondering if you could provide me the link (assuming you’ve had the time to do the writeup). If no writeup, can you provide a few words.
Q: NVEI still trades below the $34Us offer. Special meeting will be Jun18. Do investors fear the transaction won’t happen in 2024? Or tax inclusion related? Or normal? Merci.

Q: GIC's that need to be cashed before their due date are penalized whereas individual bonds can be sold before their due date at market price. For Tax Purposes - Which fixed income investment is better for an holder person with limited time horizon?
Thank you for all you do!
Can we please get your take on Intuit's earnings, and why the large share price drop considering their beat and raise? Is there a risk that the IRS is creating their own tax return software that will kibosh TurboTax? Still a hold, sell or a buying opportunity?
Q: We are very disappointed in Decisive Dividend. I bought it in the $8 range and it performed beautifully to well over $11 so I had a really nice capital gain but was too stupid to take the gain while I could. I am used to buy and hold forever stocks so not am used to ones that need to be traded. Now drifting lower and lower. What happened? I believe it has lots of cash available and I expected it to keep growing. Your suggestion please... just sell and take the small loss or keep it in hopes of the price going up again.
Thank you............ Paul K
Is ESTC a show me stock or would you be comfortable with a starter position as of today?
I own NXT but looking to add another position. Do you like SHLS? It is cheap if this solar move has legs. FSLR has moved far and fast. Would you buy into this or pick an alternative at this point?
