Q: Good morning,

Thoughts on GOOG here. Lots of anti-trust noise recently, and -10% over the last week? Hold for the time being?

Thanks as always.

Q: Sold 1/2 my portfolio (except CSU, TOI, LMN) at the end of August. First week into Sept and I'm looking smart. While I think it's still too early, when and how do I get back into market? Holdings (some sold out in August) include AMZN, META, NVDA, AMD, VRT, BN, SHOP, AXON, SNPS, NOVT, GOOG, NU, ELF.

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: Morning, you wonderful people.

Looking to add with your help. I am a believer in tech and growth in my TFSA. Other accounts are balanced.

I hold CSU, AMZN, NVDA, MSFT, GOOG, COST, AVGO, BRK.B, BLK.

Regardless of sector etc. Please let me know your top 3-5 to add to this portfolio. Longterm and conviction!

Thank you muchly.

Q: Hi, as a follow-up to my previous question regarding a switch from Google to Microsoft. Would you expect similar returns in the near term or do you favour one over the other? Thanks

Q: Have held Google for some time and pleased with the return but wondering if you think the breakup talk will hold it back in the short term. Is there more upside potential in Microsoft near term or would you hold both? Alternatively is there another name you would prefer outside of the Mag 7?

Q: This question is about small TFSA with 98% Canadian equities with 32.06% total weight in the technical sector. Weight for LMN, SHOP and DSG are close to 5i Bal portfolio but CSU is at 14.8% (Thank you). All these names are at profit.

Question 1 -I am contemplating selling CSU to reduce Canadian exposure and buying MSFT or NVDA What is your opinion of such a move? Any other suggestions in technical space?

Question 2 - This TFSA has no exposure in Consumer Staples. Would you suggest buying COST instead of US technical name? Any other suggestions and entry price?

Much Thanks for your very valuable comments.

Q: I’ve heard that data centre spending between now and 2030 will fall into three buckets: CPUs, Ai accelerators, and infrastructure, where CPUs are the slowest growing segment. Do you agree with that framework, and if so, could you briefly explain the difference between these three areas and recommend the best companies in each? Thank you.

Q: What is your take on holding GOOG going forward, in light of a number of big name fund managers (Ackman,Klarman,Dorsey etc) exiting or largely decreasing their positions in the company? We know its related to the talks of breaking up GOOG. But what do you feel is the likelihood and outcome of that for shareholders? Clearly these managers feel its going to be a negative outcome since they are exiting. Wondering what your outlook is, and if its worth holding throughout the pain. Thx

Q: What are the best 5 Canadian and US growth stocks at current valuations to hold forever…and you can still sleep at night?

Q: Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt reently made an apparently controversial statement saying that Google is fialling behind because of decision for work/life balance, rather than concentrating on competitiveness. the video was soon taken down. But here is what he said:
"Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning," Schmidt said at a talk at Stanford University. "The reason startups work is because the people work like hell."

You often suggest Google as a good buy. ( Following your lead I bought some yesterday, in fact.) but I was wondering whether you might have information to suggest that this may be just sour grapes on his part or whether there is a real reason to worry here
thanks as always

Q: Hi Everyone!!
Do you think that Google will actually be forced to break up? If so, do you think that the share price will go down significantly?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Do you think it likely that we are at or near the bottom for this correction in the tech stocks?/ Of MSFT, GOOG, AMD, which would you prefer and are any or all definite buys?? Thanks Jim

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