Q: Good morning, regarding the answer that you provided to Dennis that references diversification and the amount of stocks one could hold, is this taking into account potentially all three accounts (RRSP, TFSA, non reg)? You suggested 15 stocks may be enough for proper diversification. I'm assuming this is spread among all accounts?

Regards
Seamus

Q: Hi,

Have close to a 5% position in HPS.A and love the recent momentum. Do you think electrification still has long term secular tailwinds?

Which of the companies mentioned would be the largest beneficiaries of upgrading or growth of grid equipment (transformers, transmission lines, substations, breakers)?

How would you rank them to buy currently in terms of risk/reward looking at their fundamentals/valuation/growth and which 2-3 would you own? Thank you!

Q: NVDA position has reached 12% of my portfolio thanks to it being at all time high.
Google position has become 17% also to it being at ATH.
Together they compose of 29% of my portfolio!!.

I think I have to sell a bit to manage risk. Of course the playbook is to sell a portion of these guys to buy something under valued that has more upside. But what looks better than NVDA and GOOGLE at the moment?

Q: I own Wallmart Costco and Dollarama in the Consumer defensive sector. They each comprise about 2% of my portfolio holdings for a total of 6%. Would it make sense to just own the big two compounders Wallmart and Costco and sell Dollarama?

Q: This is a follow up to Dennis‘s question on the number of stocks to hold in a portfolio. You have suggested that about 20 (15-25) is all that you need. This may be correct for a conservative investor, but I feel your client base is a little bit more aggressive. Hence 20 conservative stocks, and a dozen more aggressive ones. I have used your advice to help me invest in a dozen smaller or unknown companies of which some have done great, some have done well, some are treading water and some have done poorly. I have started all these at a quarter position, which has worked well over the years. My biggest problem is knowing when to trim the great stocks as a fourfold increase only brings them to a full position. A great problem to have. Thanks for your advice over the years.
