Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello Team,

I'm about 5-6 years away from retirement and have starting to move some of my growth portfolio into dividend paying stocks. Currently I have 25 different holdings in my account (mostly your growth portfolio mixed with a few of your favourite US names). I have 11% of my portfolio in 3 dividend stocks, T, CJ and BEP.un. Would you be okay holding these 3 or do you suggest having more (or less) individual stock holdings for dividends. My goal is to average at least 6% yield. Thoughts?

Q: I had CELH on my watchlist 'forever' but its share price kept bolting away from me and I thought of giving up the chase. But I see the company has a consensus ‘strong buy’ . CFRA now rates it a hold , up from sell. Bespoke Investments added it today to its model “Growth Basket” . I add this information knowing you would not allow it to prejudice your thinking.

CELH looks overpriced to me. At best, risk-reward looks balanced. I am hesitant to buy (I am VERY shy , you know). Nevertheless, I am back to reviewing the business again. I would value your insight and your opinion, with substance please. What do you think of the prospects for appreciation in value of the shares.

Q: Good evening,

With the understanding that the above equities are to be considered high risk and somewhat speculative, in what order would you buy these (please exclude any names that you would not consider buyable)?

Are any of them particularly compelling at this time?

I already own a fair bit of IBIT and ETHA, as well as COIN, HOOD, GALAXY. but looking to add a little spice to the portfolio.

Thank you,

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor with a well diversified portfolio (in my opinion anyway). My proxy for the technology sector is XIT and it has performed very well over the long time period I have held it. I like using your charting ability to compare XIT to QQQ or other related tech companies or ETFs....great feature!


Question #1 = With all of the "AI" interest right now, I wonder how much exposure does XIT have to the AI theme? Which of the embedded companies within XIT have AI exposure?

Question # 2 = Is there is an ETF that focuses on AI-related companies or is there an ETF that focuses on AI-generated stock picks (in any sector) and what your thoughts are?

Thanks....Steve

Q: What's the main thesis surrounding GRID and what drives it's growth? I know it's related to the electrical grid so it must be around the increased investment needed to improve reliability of the grid and to increase grid capacity for increased electrification but maybe I'm missing something.

Who would be its main competition and what is considered a good entry price?

Q: What do you think of AMD after the announcement of the new Nvidia/Intel partnership? If I understand correctly, it could it affect both AMD’s data center revenue and gaming revenue. My son, who is a gamer, still thinks AMD will do well in the gaming area. But with the US federal government taking a stake in Intel and now the partnership with Nvidia, it seems like AMD is being ganged up on on! Would you continue to hold or sell? Thanks.
