Q: Hi,

Further to my question - which mega cap will be a good addition to this group of RESP?

Thanks again.
-------
Q: My kids RESP currently hold CSU, SHOP, SIS, ATZ, XIC, BN, PNG, VTI. CSU was purchased at $3,250 and SHOP at $210. Is it wise to average down now or is there another one or two that will be good to add to this mix?

Thank you!

5i Research Answer:
We think it is a good mix of companies. Maybe adding one or two of the mega caps could make sense but overall we would be fine with picking away at these names after recent market weakness.

Q: Hi, 5i team
I have been holding these US stocks for several years. Do you think they are good for long term holding?
Are these company worth adding positions in recent pullback? If so, what entry points you recommend for them?
Any one you think is a "sell" just in case?

Thanks

Q: I hold positions in these companies. I think it is a little unfair to ask what would be good entry points for these companies in this market but could you indicate in what order would you be buying these stocks today? Is there any you would not buy?

Thank you

Q: Overall, my portfolio is very balanced, but I have gone with higher growth in my TFSA. I hold GOOG, META, NVDA, NBIS, BN, AXON, MELI, LMN, and ZEO. What is the max percentage of the TFSA that you would hold in GOOG and NVDA? Could you suggest some new stocks with good momentum that would balance out my holdings? Thanks.

What order would you be adding to these positions?

Are there any that you would not be adding too in the current volatile market?

Thanks

Q: What is your opinion about buying leaps?
As far as I understand the best time to buy them is when a stock is at a low and volatility is low and you expect significant upside over the next few years.
Should you always try and buy the longest period out? For example buying a 2 year duration call instead of a 1 year.

I was thinking that microsoft would be a good candidate. Any other stocks that you would recommend?
