Q: My son has a small portfolio consisting of two ETF’s and seven stocks (CN, AAXN, NVDA, CRWD, DDOG, DIS, TTWO). We have picked stocks that have good potential, but that are also fun for him to follow. He is using the ETF’s to give his portfolio some diversification with 20% in ZSP and 15% in XIT. He is investing for the long term. He now has some extra cash to buy another stock or two. Would you have some suggestions? We are also thinking of selling XIT and splitting the proceeds between CSU and maybe one other stock. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: How seriously do you think Amazon's "Buy with Prime" roll-out will affect Shopify ? Given this program, plus Amazon's recent reduction in workers, would it be wise to sell Shopify and move the cash into Amazon ?

Q: How would you invest ‘23’s $6500 TSFA allowance? Is there 3 or 4 North American stocks you would buy tomorrow? DCA over the next month into one name? Not concerned about sector or risk - 10 year investment horizon.

Thinking SHOP, BN, NVDA and GOOG. All of which I own today and are down from when I purchased.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Don

Q: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all at 5i
This is another crystal ball question. I have a sizable loss on Shopify and today is the last day to claim it for this year. I am caught in the headlights a bit, though, thinking that January could be a very good month for stocks and that i would be better to wait until towards the end of January. What kind of chances do you give it for rising a lot in January?
Thanks

Q: Retired conservative investor whose only tech holding is HTA ( 5% total portfolio). Looking at either CSU or Shopify as next purchase. Which of these would you prefer to “ dip your toe “ further into the tech sector ? Also, is my weighting of HTA appropriate ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: What is your opinion of Shopify as a worthwhile investment? Quite a drop in price over the last year from $180 to $48. What did they do wrong or is it a tech market pricing issue? Are they well managed - is their future positive? Recently watched Brian Madden of First Avenue on BNN he was very positive on this company.
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
What do you think of the management team spending like drunken Sailors on 250,000 square feet of office space in the knew splashy Welltower building in Toronto. Not only that, but when the stock was flying it exercised options to take on another 90,000 square feet.
Sounds like arrogant kids to me.
Thanks Gord
