Q: Good Morning,
Your thoughts on Killam Apartments developing new buildings and expanding into the Kitchener/ Waterloo area, thinking it might be a good long term hold with Laurier and U of Waterloo so close? Or do you have another REIT in your area you like? Thanks so much

Q: Hi my question is on Visa/MasterCard. Some consensus says you can tuck away theses stocks for 10 years without too much worry. On the other side, I understand in China and some Asian markets Alibaba uses a different payment system. With emerging blockchain capabilities is there some disruption to Visa's growth. Comments? I am thinking of a new purchase with 3 year time horizon. Do you have a recent report.

Q: Sheldon recently asked a question about the 1 minute portfolio approach. You answered that you would suggest a more global ETF rather than the Canadian ETF suggested in the Globe article and that it might be a good way for an investor to create a base or core to their portfolio.

Taking into account MER, diversification, holdings and anything else you think is important, could you please suggest a global stock ETF that you feel would work well as a base/core part of a portfolio?

Could you please also suggest a global bond ETF that you feel would work well as the base/core part of a portfolio?

Thank you,
Geoff

Q: Target allocation to Tech is up to 17%. Currently, of that amount, I have V at 34% of the sector [less than 6% of total portfolio], GIB at 22%, and the rest as follows: CSU 8%, MSFT and SHOP at 7% each, DOCU at 5%, leaving about less than 20% for investment [could go to 25% if sell DOCU].
My watchlist is broken down into;
a) Tech equipment: SPLK, SNPS, KEYS, NVDA;
b) software: KXS, TTD, TEAM.
Of course, there are so many others that you have recommended.
So, please advise on narrowing the list - building on my current holdings or otherwise.
