Investment Q&A

Q: Reading your answer/comments on their latest quarter where you say, "we see no real concerns from the quarter"; by using the word "real" this statement implies to me that there are some concerns as opposed to saying; "we see no concerns..." . If that is the case that there are some minor concerns, what might they be? Thank You

Q: Your comments and opinion please on the latest Q from VEEVA

Q: I hold the above 7 stocks in my RRIF. I have to sell part of one of them soon.
Ignoring sector balance; I am concerned with maximizing long term growth whether it be capital gains, dividends or interest. So I would like to sell the one with the poorest prospects for gains over the next 2-3 years.
I should also note that my largest holding,NVDA, is over 7% of my entire investment holdings. This is a level where I would normally start to trim a bit but it has been on such a tear that I have been reluctant to trim it. And I note that you are still keen on it as a growth stock.
So I am comfortable to leave it alone if you agree.
Which would you suggest be sold?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
I own both VEEV and WELL. Apart from one being in the USA and the latter in Canada, and the size (market cap) of the companies being very different, is the business model of these 2 companies similar in any way?

Thanks,

Q: 23 year-old slowly building out his TFSA. GSY (23%), KXS (19%) and LSPD (29%) now dominate weightings with PHO, PBH, REAL, BAM.A and CNR being between 5%-7% each. Going to trim GSY/KXS/LSPD back to 10% each and use the funds to purchase four new positions. Given this is a long-term hold could you suggest your favourite 5 or 6 (Canadian or US) growth stocks or those with potential to be the next SHOP in order of preference and why? Many thanks for your always astute insights.

Q: Hi Peter,
could you pleas give four Growth stocks( no sector preference) each in Canada and US for long term hold like 5-10 yrs.
Thanks,
KT

Q: I am looking to buy a position in U.US (Unity Software), but I need to sell one of the other listed companies to raise the cash to do this. Which one would you sell (or trim) to do this, taking into consideration this would be a long term investment. I am looking for maximum share price appreciation. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Could you please list about five or so of your favorite US growth stocks for an RRSP. Currently have no US exposure and ok with a 3-5 year hold. Thanks for your great work!

Q: Looking for your favorite five US growth stocks for next 3 years in an RRSP. Currently have no US exposure. Could you also suggest a couple of potential US multi baggers ok with the higher risk here. Thanks for all your great work!

Q: Hello
I have noticed this with other companies but in the VEEV profile, under Share Information it shows Institutional Holdings at 152.7%. I'm guessing this is due to short positions or Stock options but would appreciate clarification.

Thanks, Greg

Q: I have owned AYX for a year - its been an exciting ride with the stock peaking 66% higher than its current price (I did not sell) I find myself back to where I started. In your view, how much of this volatility is due to management erring on the side of conservative guidance and thus tempering market enthusiasm and how much is a reevaluation by the street that perhaps there are better growth opportunities out there. Since it is part of my US High Growth portfolio, I am perfectly fine with the volatility if it is still on track. My question is, if this were in your US High Growth portfolio would you be keeping it or replacing it with a higher conviction name. If your answer is to replace it, what would be your top 2 names.

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: My son who is 42 is opening a TFSA. He is getting a late start at investing as he has been emloyed overseas for most of his working life. He has asked me to help him. I am wondering if ETF's would be the best way to start. If so what would you suggest for seomeone his age. Also if he started with equities what would you suggest as well?

Q: Hello,
With the media and other financial write ups all talking about this great sector rotation out of growth and tech stocks into value stocks seems a little over blown to my logical mind.
Its made to sound that stocks , in the "Packaged software " sector like
-LSPD, DND, REAL, NVEI ,VEEV etc are part of that big rotation.
When I think about this, I beg to differ and am of the opinion that these stocks will become even more relevant in the future of our economy irrespective of Covid.
Have I lost my "marbles" or being too naive to think that way?
Your feedback is always appreciated.
NB* I do own these stocks that I mentioned.
Thanks,

Q: If you just received $200K extra cash and would like to invest it in CND and US stocks in a non-registered account for maximum returns in 3-5 years, which CND and US stocks would you choose? For this, higher risk would be acceptable. Please prioritize 4-5 of each of the CDN and US stocks.

Would there be any changes, if it was going into a couple's TFSA's with sufficient contribution room?

Thanks, and please deduct as many credits as appropriate.

Q: What would be your top 5 US and TSX companies for a TFSA? - focusing on growth but wouldn't turn down dividend payers! Thanks

I'm currently underweight in Basic materials (own 3 gold miners) Energy (own key and tou) Helathcare (own veev and gud) Real estate (own dir) Where would you add first and would you please add suggestions as to how to complete my weithings.

Thanks as always.

Q: I asked this question on my phone few days ago and I haven't seen the answer yet:
Can you give me your current top 3US and 3CDN growth stocks?
3US and 3CDN compelling recovery stories post covid.
Thanks!

Q: I try to buy best in breed companies or leaders in each sector/industry with the goal of holding for the long term. With the current sell off in high growth tech stocks my buy price alerts in the above companies are starting to get triggered. During times when we get a market sell off or sector rotation, as we may be getting over the next few days or weeks, I like to only buy one or 2 positions per day in order to keep some powder dry if the sell offs continue. If I don't hold positions in any can you rank in order of what you would buy first to last and please feel free to add other companies to this list you feel are good buys. Thanks for all your help.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Its been quite the ride around the election and I hope things can be more stable. I have quite large cash positions for my RRIF, TFSA and RESP and will be placing more contributions in Jan into the latter 2.
Can you suggest 3 CDN and 3US from your Growth or Balanced portfolios that now make good "Buys" to my well balanced portfolios ? Is this a good time to put the cash back in for the long term?
Thanks for your continuing guidance
Peter

Q: As an income investor with some growth, I have some US money unused in our TFSA accounts. Could you give me some suggestions on US stocks you feel still have good valuations. I am lower in Tech, Consumer and industrial sectors.
Thanks so much!
