Q: My wife and I have accumulated a fair amount of cash in our RRSP we would now like to invest. We have at least 5 years time horizon. We are well represented in Oil, Banks, Tech., financial. We have some reits as well. Not much retail or healthcare. We like growth and dividends and not too concerned about higher weightings in the right industries (we are considering more banks and tech, as well as minerals for batteries). We have about 40K which is about 10% of our portfolio. What would you consider good value right now? It seems many tech stocks are priced very high right now so would you avoid tech at the moment? Can you suggest 5 value stocks? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

These are some names that I hold that are smaller weights in my portfolio (<2%) and I would like to add to my positions. From comments, I think all of them are solid going forward and some have run hard, such as HPS.A, TVK, CRWD...The thing I've struggled with before is adding to names at the wrong time after they've had a good run and then the market turns and your gains turn into losses. How do you approach these situations and when do you decide to add to a starter position.

Would you be comfortable adding to any of these names at the current prices and can you rank which ones you would add to first?

With the market at record levels, I'm a bit more gun shy of doing so but I think on any market pullback, I would add to any of these names. Would you agree?

I remember a question you answered recently about increasing the avg. cost base vs the % of the position when adding. So for example, I bought HPS.A at $50 and now its $93 for a nice gain, however it's only 1.5% of my portfolio now. So if you are comfortable with a 3% position, do I just add now to get to that 3% even with the run that its had? Or wait for a nice pullback, which of course is impossible to predict. I try not to anchor prices and of course the buyers today are forward looking and expect good things to continue. How do you approach this? Thanks!

Q: Which do prefer as a purchase for a 1 to 2 year hold. RET appears super cheap, and could be a multi-bagger if any success. My concern is buying something like ATZ as an example, only to have it go down and then hold at a loss for years waiting for it go back.

Q: Trying to gauge potential runway for growth. Particularly market cap proxies. Are there any comparables that make sense. Do you see this eventually in time exceeding its all time highs? Are you buyers at todays price.

Q: Interested in Aritzia, can you provide a good thesis as to why this investment is worthy of a buy or hold? Capital IQ estimates revenue growth for 2024 to be only 4.6%, how come this is so low? Is the increase SG&A expenses a result of the recent inventory surplus and do you think it will resolve itself within the next couple of months? Lastly, how many shares were issued after initial IPO offering compared to now and with low ownership from management, why do you like the company?

-Thanks
