Q: DND has been slowly drifting down for the last two weeks, and was $45.5 at one point today. At what price do you think is worthwhile to throw in, say, 1-2% of your portfolio, assuming you are risk tolerant, and have a long time horizon to hold should the takeover deal goes bad?

Q: Thanks for the great work in educating and helping us. Currently I have no exposure to Debt and all Investment is in Equity Stock or Pref. I was trying to use Preference shares as a proxy for Bond. Is that a wise strategy? Want to move some fund to Bonds/Debentures. With a long term view of 10 + years in a registered account can you recommend 2 bonds and 2 ETFs. Thanks

Q: Can you recommend a resource/book for my young teenager to begin learning about investing. The TV ads seem to focus only on the get-rich-quick trading aspects of making money without mentioning the get-poor-quick consequences of bad trading discipline.

I wanted something they could learn at their level to help evaluate the strength of a company as well as overall macroeconomy and technical analysis.

They may well decide to be traders as they turn into young men but at least having the knowledge of fundamentals, how to understand financial statements and technical would give them a foundation to build upon.
Thanks

Q: Hello, I have owned LRCX since 2017 and have added over the years. It has been in a trading range for a while although it has made higher highs. With a PE at ~26 and analyst target of $728 it looks like a hold, but I am concerned about the semiconductor sector getting tired and over bought. You thoughts please.
