Would like to know your call (HOLD/SELL) and brief appreciation on these. In SELL cases (if any), could you please provide US market replacement suggestion other than (already owned) : GOOG, SBUX, V, BRK-B, DG, CPRT, KMX.

My portfolio is in registered account, holding period would be 5-10 years, aiming for quality company with good mid-long term growth potential.

Feel free to deduct as many points required.
Thank you for your excellent services,
