Q: Hey guys,
I am a big believer in a healthy corporate culture being one of the keys to running a successful business long term. Having strong leadership, as well as a desire by employees to come to work and be proud of being part of the company, and a management team that is focused on the long term and not quarterly results or analyst expectations.
Do you know any canadian companies that meet or exceed this criteria?
Thank you

Q: Good Morning;
Both companies appear to have been caught in recent Tech sector selloff. Both also continue to struggle to recover. Has anything changed in underlying fundamentals of either company that would cause concern or limit growth prospects going forward? In addition, was the market reaction extreme and would you expect a (partial) bounce back up or will both companies require some catalyst to maintain/gain growth and regain lost share value?
Thank you
Ian

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio
Please comment

Q: Good day,

I currently own the subject shares in my TFSA portfolio. Are these stocks still worth hanging onto with the current volatility? I was considering selling everything and going with Vanguard or iShares.

Q: Hi !

I invest mostly in growth stocks but with 28% of my portfolio in tech, I may be overloaded in this sector. My present holdings are: CSU (2.7%) PHO (2.5%) KXS (3.2%) SHOP (3.5%) ADBE (3.1%) FB (2.7%) GOOG (2.6%) MU (1.8%) NVDA (2.2%) SQ (3.%). If I were to reduce the number of holdings as well as my tech %, on which stocks would you suggest to concentrate, identifying those with most growth potential and those more risky ? Are there any other stocks better suited to my goal ? Or should I stay the course here ?
Thank you for your good attention,
JD
