Investment Q&A

Q: Can you provide me with an artificial intelligence ETF both canadian and US.
Also what large and small capstocks are at the forefront of this new trend.
Sort of like Microsoft, intel and Cisco in their infancy.

Q: Hi there, I'm thinking of adding the following stocks to my portfolio to make up a total of 3% to 5% of my overall holdings - so a relatively small amount overall. Can I please have your thoughts on them and if you'd rate them as buy, sell or holds? And if sell or hold, which names would you replace them with?

Thank you!

Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: Hello 5i,

For tax-loss selling looking for 30 day proxies for NET, SNOW and PINS.

Thanks

Q: Hello,
Would you please indicate which cybersecurity stocks you would buy at this time? Top 5 rating them in order 1 being the best to hold long term.
Thank you.

Q: Hello I’ve been watching what has been going on in our world and it is terrifying and heartbreaking
Would you have a few cyber security stocks we could add to our portfolio and stocks that you would be looking at in these times
Thank you and take care

Q: Down on CRWD and thinking of selling (early tax loss harvest). What stock and/or ETF would be a good proxy?

Q: As we move into 2022 I find myself looking for long-term trends that I can believe in and consequently feel safe to invest in. It seems to me that:
1. FINTEC
2. Cyber security
3. Payments
are three such trends. I'm curious if you agree with my three choices and if you do could you suggest a couple of companies in each trend that would be your favourites. Finally, are there other viable long term trends that you think I have missed?

Q: good evening,

I have tax losses that I can harvest on these 2 companies but, I don't want to miss the boat if the market turns. What are the best proxies you can recommend or should I hold?

Thanks!

Q: Please comment on results/outlook

Q: Please comment upon ZS's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results. Thanks!

Q: I was looking at a list of your past picks that haven't been mentioned for awhile but they seem to be doing quite well. In fact, they have as good a track record as some of the US stocks you mentioned recently. Mastercard which I own is under water over the past year, I am thinking of selling it and the above 2 look like good replacements. Preferably, ZS. Do you still pay attention to these 2?

Q: Hello

which one of these companies is better from a growth perspective.

Also, with ransomware and corporate hacking being the new frontier for all CIO's and IT Managers, which 2 companies, in your opinion, have the edge with their technology and I can add these to my portfolio.

Thank you,

Rajesh

Q: Do you know of a company (listed on the stock market)that is selling Cyber Security software in Canada or USA.

Q: Do any North American cybercrime-related companies interesting at this time? Thanks.

Q: I am trying to decide which one of these cybersecurity companies to buy if I have to choose one. Alternatively, is there an ETF focusing on this narrow segment of the market you would recommend?
Your insight is much appreciated, Peter

Q: hello 5i:

Q: What do you think of the financials of this company ? It has had a tremendous price increase in the last few years . Buy more ? Sell some ? Hold ? Thanks.

Q: Hello. I'm invested in CRWD and have been watching ZS (both on the NASDAQ). But I'm unclear whether there is overlap in their business models. ZS is doing very well, but I'm worried that I might be buying two sides of the same coin. Thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,

The technology portion of my portfolio has grown too large (about 37%) and I’m trying to figure out how to get it back to about 25%? My issue is that I’m interested in too many tech options (I.e., the ones that I own plus others I’d like to buy). I’m looking for suggestions on which I should sell, add to or replace by buying a better option. Some were initiated with half positions that went down and some full positions grew so the proportions all over the place. I have a long time horizon and many are held in a registered account (except SHOP and NVDA). I own: KXS (3.5%), CSU (3.8%), SHOP (2.7%), PHO (<1%), ZS (3.3%), TEAM (1%), NVDA (6.1%), AAPL (11%), MSFT (4.6%) and I’m interested in buying REAL, DOCU and GOOG. I’d like to own what are viewed as solid tech companies for future innovation and growth and I’m willing to add, remove or replace any of these companies.

I also need to add materials and REITs to my portfolio since I currently have no holdings in these. I’ll use my tech trimmings to add to these sectors. Suggestions of top companies for these two sectors would also be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for all the great work and suggestions you provide,
Lisa
