Q: I know U.S. markets are not your focus but any help would be great. I am looking for some suggestions on growth holdings in a TFSA USD for a long term hold 5-10 years. Currently in the account V, FB, BRK.B I am not a fan of dividend paying US holdings in the account due to the 15% robbery from the US government in non registered accounts. I am looking for something with stability and top in their industry. I have thought about CRM or SQ but other suggestion would be great. Thanks again for the great service

Q: I'm not happy with MKS (down 28%) and considering selling in favour of BOX or GRUB. Can I have your thoughts on this move and which do you prefer at the moment? I do not need income and am OK with reasonable risk over a 3-4 yr period.

Q: You guys hit a home run with GRUB and SPOT which had a recent downgrade but still put up big numbers. I was lucky enough to have taken your advice and bought both of them and am up 35% and 45% respectively in a short period of time. Do you think there is more room for them to run? Would you have a couple of others with a growth outlook like that? Thanks for the hot advice, Dennis

Q: Hi guys,
I own TEAM, JPM, AMAT, GRUB, and AAPL in my RRSP. Each are 4-5% weightings with the exception of AAPL which is 10%. I've owned AAPL for years but I've acquired the other 4 companies within the past 2 months.
AAPL - up 140%, TEAM - down 10% (on yesterday's earnings miss), GRUB - down 10%, JPM - down 5%, AMAT - down 5%.
Do you see any issues with any of these companies? Would you HOLD all or recommend adding to or selling any.
I like to buy and hold long term and have no issues with patience. I just want to be sure that there are no red flags on any of these companies that I am missing...or if I should be viewing their recent drops as a buying opportunity.
thanks for the excellent service.
