Q: Hello 5i,

NVDA is our largest position. GOOGL is 2nd and AAPL is 5th . With potential headwinds for GOOGL (except for Waymo) and AAPL (lower sales and China bs), would it be prudent to trim a full position of GOOGL and/or AAPL to a ¾ or ½ position and reallocate funds to other stocks?

We have a few options for those funds. Sector allocation is not important.

Increase positions in 1 or 2 of: CROX, ASPN, TMDX, CLBT, UBER, AMD, AVGO
Add new positions in 1 or 2 of: CECO, CRM, SMCI, VRT, SNOW, AAON, BKNG


Thank you

D&J

Q: Hello 5I
I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and Thank you for all you do for us.
I recently bought some Honeywell (HON)shares thinking that the spinout that they announced was a good move. I was comparing them to Fortive (FTV) (Not many past questions on this company) and now I am not sure if they are the better vehicle. Could you please weigh in on this and if needed, add any other name thar you may like more. I am not worried about tax implications of selling. Which direction would you take if it was your portfolio?
Once again, Thank you
Jeremy

Q: It must be known by now how Door Dash is replacing Payfare's service. Are they internalizing the immediate pay function or are they selecting an alternate provider? If it was easy to internalize the function aren't other customers likely to follow suit? Pls. give me your best guess on Payfare's future - does it have a saleable service or not?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Further to the questions about CIPF coverage, I think I may have been misunderstanding the coverage levels, perhaps viewing it as similar to CDIC coverage in terms of accounts (not dollars). Could you please clarify for me the coverage in the situations below, assuming all accounts are held at the same brokerage:

1) I hold $1 million in a cash account and 300K in a TFSA, both in my name alone. Total is $1.3 million. Is the total covered or just $1 million?

2) I hold the amounts above, plus a $1 million cash account held jointly with my wife. If I read the CIPF website correctly, they view this account as held $500,000 by me and $500,000 by my wife. Is she covered for her $500,000, but I have no coverage on this account (my total over 3 accounts is now $1.8 million)?

3) in addition to the accounts above, my wife and I each have a RRIF. Are we each covered for up to $1 million in each of our RRIFs?

Thank-you
