Q: Your thoughts please on the Marvell earnings after hours Thursday? If it could be bought for $70 tomorrow would it be an add for you in a hypothetical portfolio with a 12 month window? Please provide a high level analysis and whether you rate it as a buy, sell or hold based on the results.

Q: Based on your last comments on SNOW, you said "...expensive and volatile, and expectations are very high. Thus, they perhaps need 'perfect' numbers to see substantial gains."

SNOW nWhat is your take on the earnings I'm assuming you're fine with it from what I'm reading all over the internet.

Can you explain more about the data modernization theme in software and the long term growth (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for Snowflake and has the hype from it's IPO days remained the same, ramp upped or been less muted ..... is this a future 10 bagger, will it be as successful as a Nvidia or Microsoft?

Who are its competitors? and should SNOW be worried about them longer term?

What has to keep working for this stock for it to keep growing in the next decade and what might stop it from rising?

oh and ps....what is the insider ownership looking like and is that a metric I should be looking at for this particular stock?

Thanks again, please take as many credits off as needed to answer.

Q: Hi Team,

What are your thoughts on Fidelity Global Innovators ETF (FNN-T)?
Would you consider it a buy at the moment?

Are there any similar funds in the same category or style that you would recommend instead?

Thanks very much for your insights,

Jacques IDS

Q: In light of PLTR’s decline now can you think of other similar companies from the past that have come back and become market staples now…. Like an apple, Microsoft. Or an industrial or energy stock ? Or is PLTR such an anomaly that a more significant drop might be in the offing?

Q: My son currently has Meta (META), Nebius (NBIS), Amazon (AMZN), and EIF Corp (EIF) in his TFSA, plus an ETF (ZSP) for some diversity. It’s a small portfolio but he really wanted to hold some individual stocks and not just ETFs. Would you be comfortable adding Nvidia (NVDA) and Axon (AXON) at current prices? They are two of my favorite stocks in my non-registered account but I know the prices have really run up. Would you have any better suggestions? Thanks.

Q: good afternoon - I have positions in both AMZN and GOOG, with modest gains in GOOG and good gains in AMZN. I'm looking at the respective P/E's and wondering if this is a good time to sell AMZN and increase GOOG. Taxes not an issue for two thirds of my AMZN. Do you think that GOOG will increase in value at a greater rate than AMZN in the coming years? I like both companies but this looks like an opportunity to high grade a portion of my portfolio. Thanks. Al

Many thanks

Q: I currently hold half positions in GOOG and AMZN, and both positions show current gains. I also have a full position in GLBE, which is currently underwater. I'd like to consolidate and wonder what to sell and why. Long term hold and taxes not really a consideration. Many thanks

Q: Greetings - To postpone tax liability from income, I would like to develop a balanced portfolio of stocks and ETFs for the medium term (3-10 years) that do not pay dividends or interest. Rather, I would prefer to incur the tax liability upon selling the holdings (capital gains). I am aware of Global X Total Return ETFs and stocks like BRK.B that do not pay annual dividends. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks

Thanks,

Q: Keeps moving to the right. What is the current institutional ownership? Can't just be retail investors moving the stock higher. Seems like analysts want to like the stock but they keep putting out low share price targets because of valuation.

Did TSLA, NVDA, AMZN etc have stretched valuations and then they grew into them? Can you see PLTR at a 1T market cap valuation over time?

Q: My question is about creating our RRIF portfolios.
Question 1: Country Allocation given US policy to depreciate USD, would you advise to OW CAD, 50-65% CAD allocation, 25-30% US and 10-20 ex NA [including EM]? What would you advise re allocation
Question 2: Please populate stocks and ETFs, with suggested target return that you consider achievable.
If you would, please suggest a few stocks that could give a boost to return in replacement of others.
Much obliged. I have 53 credits so this is important to me and prepared to use as many as you deem appropriate. Thank you.
