Q: How significant do you think the recent court decision against Alphabet might be? I know they are appealing it.

Q: Hello, in an answer to a question back on March 8th of this year you indicated some attractive entry prices for the Canadian CDR's of the Magnificent 7. What would be your current attractive entry prices given the changes over the past few months and the recent reporting season?

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

Q: Is now a good time to start picking at some of the Magnificent 7 stocks or wait?

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: If you have to create new balance portfolio that includes CDR and CDN stocks.. Which 25 stocks portfolio would you recommend that includes both.

Do you think you would create new balance portfolio in the future that includes CDR.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Which one is the best buy today and WHY?
Thanks Again

Q: Hi,
After reading disturbing reports about Shopify's business practices, such as not enforcing its own acceptable use policy against its merchants selling nazi-related products, and its COO's board-level involvement with a far right wing media group, do you have any suggestions for ethical growth companies in Canada or the US to replace this name in my portfolio?
Thank you. Michael

Q: Hello, Currently I hold NVDA, Meta, Google, and Palantir stocks in the tech sector. Could you recommend additional stocks that would complement my portfolio during this AI boom? Thank you.

Q: How should one employ the forward price to sales multiple to determine value? What I’m trying to figure out is when to avoid a stock that has gone over its skis as they say. Take stocks from ultra to pstg to Crwd - we go from 1 x earnings to 23 x. By that gauge, one presumably buy Ultra. But when I think of value, I remember how I once bought Rim over Apple because the former looked cheaper. Can you comment on any guideline for us of this metric? Thank you,

Jason

Q: Hi 5i, for a 3-5 years hold, today , in which order would you add (full position).
Thank you

Q: My portfolio is 35 per cent technology. I own 600 shares of Nvidia which comprise close to 10 per cent of my holdings. I also own Goog Amazon Microsoft and Apple but no Meta. Does it make sense to sell 200 shares of Nvidia to buy into Meta at this time or do I not interfere with the Nvidia momentum.

Q: Considering the (excessive?) rise of stock based compensation and the evaluation of how management treats their shareholders vs how they treat themselves, who would you recommend as a management team that consistently behaves and demonstrates respect for their shareholders, please, thanks.

Q: Hi Folks,
I trimmed some of my NVDA and now
looking to add to CSU, MSFT, AAPL or GOOGL. May I have your opinion as to which two you would recommend I add to today.
Thanks

Q: Thoughts on Apple ? its in all things AI and Future ... , Won`t we all need need new
I phones , Laptops and other devices etc.. to take advantage of AI . Also what percentage of computers are Apple compared to competition ?
Seems like a great long term hold ?

Many Thanks

Q: I read with interest your (excellent) advice about ‘when to sell a stock for fundamental reasons’ as I believe I often sold for wrong reasons, and I want to ‘learn’ to do it for better reasons. You mention the following:
‘In the case of volatility, if a name is jumping by 5% or more any given day, it is tough to call it an ‘investment’ anymore as it becomes more of a bet on a given day’s move. Again, some investors will make money here, but we would far prefer to look elsewhere at this stage.’
Vertiv (VRT) is one of the stocks you often mention as one that is taking full advantage of AI because of its ‘privileged’ involvement in data centre cooling technology and is in a ‘growth spurt’ that affects the stock price and is worth considering at this stage of AI growth investing. ( you do add it won't last forever, though…) Nonetheless, it is trading lately with large daily swings (of 5% and, even, sometimes 10%). In which way would it be different then and tough to call it an investment vs a speculation? I feel the same goes for Propel Holdings (PRL) which is another small but rapidly growing company because of an interesting business model. (it too, lately, also appears to be on an up and down elevator ride.) Would you care to explain the difference in reasoning please?
Thanks, Adel

Q: SIRI reached an 11 year low this month. Is there a driving force causing this decline? Your thoughts. Thanks

Q: Thanks to recently learning about CDR's, I've been able to add NVDA (already up 20%) and LLY to my portfolio, which otherwise is dominated by TSX-listed stocks.

I'm interested in five other CDR's. Please rank them from your highest conviction pick to your least favourite: Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft and AVGO.

Thank you very much for your service and advice. Pete.

Q: Which two companies would you suggest look most attractive on a long term basis?
Thanks
