Q: I just received a couple of weighty voting packages from Atlassian which I gave up on after the 74th “whereas”. I take it they are changing their domicile from UK to US, and essentially issuing new shares to be listed on the Nasdaq. If I understood the tax implications for Canadian shareholders if seems it will be a deemed disposition and capital gain or loss type of event. I know I am a little out of bounds asking for too much analysis about a non-Canadian company but just wondering if you had any thoughts. Is it a non-event or do you see any risks (competing with Boris Johnson for moving trucks?) or maybe possible upside? Thank you.

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks

Q: I don't know what to ask since my previous question seemed to be regarded as naive and critical . The situation has only become worse as Atlassian Corporation (TEAM ) + Shopify (SHOP) + Lightspeed (LSPD) + Digital Turbine (APPS) ,Crowdsrtrike (CRWD) and Boyd (BYD) are getting hammered every day . I can't see any signs of a rounding bottom , or recovery in these names . Now NVDA had a double bottom breakdown . "Holding" has increased my losses and now other sectors have plunged ... Post Mortem: Reducing Tech and deploying funds into Energy, Materials ,and Financials would have been the best move in recent months . Is it still ?

Q: Given the increasing implied VOL in options, what are your favourite names in CAD and USD for covered call strategies?

Looking for stocks that you already like that have reasonably liquid options (I know harder in CAD) and you think have excellent bounce back potential and wouldn't mind owning for 2-3 years. Thanks

Q: Looking to take advantage of the pullback in growth names. The names above are standing out to me as companies that have been beaten up and 'may' offer a good short term bounce as well as long term potential. Is this a buying opportunity for those listed above? Are there other names you would suggest and could you rank them please? I am a fairly aggressive long term investor with an otherwise diversified portfolio.

Q: Thanks for your insights in structuring the TFSA for 2022 and going forward, dated October 26, 2022. To transition to the new "alignment", I will need to transfer a number of Technology stock positions, see above, to a trading account, or sell....and I would like your take on this matter as the intention is to transition is DSG and NVDA.
The present TFSA is tilted, well more than that, like 45% + to tech positions, including VEEV. As the TFSA is tilted to growth-eee positions which ones would be better now held in a trading account, aka lower growth going forward....or if there are any that are no longer high conviction, please let me know....Thanks for all the sound/solid insights......Tom
