Q: I have a small USA portfolio consisting of these darlings which I've held for approx. 3 yrs. It's like watching a snail race. Can you recommend a replacement or two for each? I've done OK with SYK and was in good shape with Vertex until last October. Take as many Q credits as needed.

Q: There is a rumor that CISCO might buy FSLY. If they do what price range will it go for. How much Debt or CASH does FSLY hold. News is only on some site. Is there anything on Bloomberg?
Do you think CISCO is a good fit or any other company that might be interested to buy?

Thanks for the great service

Q: I am looking to add to my Tech Sector - I currently have AAPL, MSFT, CSCO ( in RRSP ) and OTEX - I am thinking about buying some GOOG ( in our TFSA accounts ) to complement the above - would that be something you would do OR would you add to the existing positions. Appreciate you comment.
Thanks

Q: I own the following 6 tech names (ROP is technically an industrial but fast moving into software) in my RRSP, each at about 2% weighting. I am thinking of gradually adding one or two FANG names to round this up. I am looking at MSFT and/or GOOG. If these makes a good complement, do you consider one or the other a better buy today?

Q: I own IBM but not the others. Do you think the Red Hat acquisition will result in IBM significantly narrowing the performance gap between itself and the others. Respective dividend yields are not an issue.

Q: In a recent response to a portfolio question you said you couldn't comment on over 40 stocks in the portfolio but could comment on a few of them. Of IBM you said: "IBM we consider 'meh' and there are better ideas."

My question is this: Couldn't IBM have a place in a diversified RRIF portfolio from the perspective that it provides a reliable income stream to help meet mandatory minimum withdrawals? If you have to withdraw say a minimum of 4% a year, then IBM's 5% dividend certainly helps. If you still don't like IBM in this context, what else would you suggest for a 20 year hold?
