Q: Hello, if you had to select just one company between AMAT and MU, what would it be? Is there one of these two companies that is debt free? Are they direct competitor? This would be for a long term investment in my TFSA. Thanks, Gervais

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I have a full position on both SHOP and CRM for a while and doing quite well on both. Since these companies are in similar business, I am just wondering if I should reduce my holdings in either one (which one?) or both to limit my risk exposure.
Cheers,

Q: I have a large holding of WFS.PR.A. I have done reasonably well on it, with 5.25% return on capital distribution and a stable price, it was much better than any other fixed income I held.
Here is my dilemma, I have to either redeem it now or hold until 2025. Expecting interest rate to go up, I am not sure it will hold its value. My thinking is to redeem it now and perhaps buy it later at a lower price, or just move to other investment. I know this decision is mine, but I highly value your opinion on what you think my best option would be.

Thanks

Q: Hello team,

There is a lot of debate about how AMD may actually, not in so distant a future, steal the show from NVDA by beating them in their GPU technology as well as other areas such AI technology. So which one do you side with NVDA or AMD? NVDA is a leader for now but would you invest in AMD if you were looking or even faster growth for a similar risk?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Q: I am challenged to know what to do about my shares in Richards. My ACB is down to about $3 (out of pocket costs are even lower) so the dividends are almost free money now, and as I approach retirement, I love the cash flow. Despite selling some shares over the last couple of years, it is again 50% over what I would consider a full position. Should I just put it away and enjoy it or sell some/all and put the money into something with a more robust or safer dividend? (BTW, I also own CCL.B but not for as long and I don't have nearly as big a gain on that one.)

Also I can't find any news to explain its recent gains. Are you aware of anything I've missed.

Thanks for your help,
Dave

Q: Yesterday, I noted your warm response to a question a CRM and, when I looked at what they do, it occurred to me (who admittedly knows little about these new cloud-driven services) that it might be rather similar to SHOP. If so, is their a thought on how to choose a likely winner in this space? Also, I note that DOCU seems to be doing well in this space.

Thanks, as always for you wisdom and guidance,

Bob

Q: BSR (HOMu.TO) IPO'd in May 2018. The company looks interesting, nice 5% yield, class B garden style rentals. They buy older apartments, add amenities and increase rental rates.
Looks like a mini Milestone Apartment REIT. Wondering if you know if any analysts follow this story and if you think this might be a good apartment pick to replace some cash from the AAR.UN acquisition.
