Q: NVDA now compromises 9% of my total portfolio. What's the maximum weight YOU would be comfortable with? Alternatively, would you consider selling - say - 2% of NVDA and buying VRT? If yes, can you please compare potential risk/reward for both NVDA and VRT over the next two years on a scale of 1-10? Thank you.
Q: The ETF, HXS pays no dividend. So if HXS was held in a RESP account, can one avoid the US 15% withholding on dividends, because HXS pays no dividend, whereas ZSP held in a RESP account would be subject to the 15% withholding tax, because it does pay a dividend. Thanks … Cal
Q: Hello, I was intrigued by Fernando's question (Jan 26 about that 11 stock/ETF retirement portfolio). The only stock from that list I do not own is QSR. However, thanks to you I do have BYD and PBH. Wondering if (a) these would be good alternatives for QSR? If yes, which one would you prefer? Thank you.
Q: In a question from Chris on Jan 30, there was a listing of "buy and forget" stocks. One of them that caught me by surprise was ECN given its pretty dismal performance. Although it has bounced off its lows from late 2023, it has been a fairly poor performer down about 65% from its peak in 2022.
Do you think this one has recovery potential in the long term?
Q: Making a large spousal RRSP contribution soon and am looking for guidance as to the best 3 or 4 stocks with a tilt toward growth that would compliment this group with a brief explanation as to thier merits and why they compliment the existing holdings. Initially had my sights set on DOL, ATS, CNR and IFC but not sure these would be the right choice to maximize compounding for someone with a very long investment horizon.
Wife’s portfolios currently include: ITOT, IEMG, XEF, AVGO, COST, SBUX, RY, FTS, BCE, ATD, DIR.UN, SHOP, GSY, BN, TOI, ATZ, NVEI
Most Mag 7 are owned in my own accounts with adequate exposure when considering combined portfolios so not looking for any of those.
Q: In my RRIF , I am looking at selling one of these stocks to buy UMAX for its higher yield and diversified holdings. Forgetting portfolio composition , please provide the order in which you would sell first (1) and then to last (5).
Thanks. Derek.

Q: I hold ROP HEI WSP ATS TFII AXON VRT in the industrial sector. 5i has also recommended TT TDG RTX and URI. I would like to sort out which could be sold [in whole or in part] and which could be added to. For a long-term hold, which could go and which would you advise to be the core for this sector.
Thanks
Q: Is there an ETF similar to SPHD (larger companies with low volatility), however is focused outside of the US (and Canada) that you would recommend? Preferably with a yield over 3.5-4%. I hold VIU for general exposure however moving to retirement and am looking for a bit more income focus.
Q: Can you explain why American Tower had a sharp increase in share price recently and now seems to be in a steady decline. Has there been material changes to the company that I'm not aware of. Also could you advise on what its current and forward PE is and would you consider it a buy at these levels. Thanks for your help.
Would you please comment on recent quarterly results from NXT?
Is this a good time to add to a small position or hold on for some consolidation?
Thanks!
