Q: Good morning 5i

These two stocks are over the percentage limit in my portfolio. I am thinking about lightening up on one of these. Thought I would ask for your input. I notice in the most recent comments on google you say that you see no reason to sell and that you have a very positive view of it. Broker recommendations seem to have higher expectations for google and hold recommendations for csu at the moment. I am learning towards selling csu. There are no other considerations other which might be the best to hold and the best to sell, at this moment.
Thanks as always for the great service

The portfolio Analytics suggests that I hold 8% in communication. Currently I only have 2%, all in Telus. Could you please suggest 2-3 names in the sector, both in U.S. and international? thanks.

Q: Good morning I have initiated a part of my portfolio to u.s. stocks and I have GOOG, BABA, AVGO, GE, FDX and am looking at SYK ACN AND MCO also I have positions in VGT and VTI. On the income side I hold good Canadian dividend companies that combined with CPP/OAS the dividends cover all of our living and travelling expenses. So, I diverted most of the growth stocks from your balanced fund into this u.s. side. My question is I still have about 20% cash can you recommend additional u.s. companies that I could look at along with the above. Or, should I just put the cash into the two ETFs. Thank you for the great service as you have changed how I invest and look at my own portfolio and time frame....thanks...gene

Q: Hello, here are questions related to a Non-Registed portfolio only. Please deduct credits as required.
1) How are capital gains on US stocks taxed?
2) I want to buy Google. Should I use the GOOGL symbol or the GOOG symbol? Does that make any difference in the context of a Non-Registed portfolio?
3) What are the advantage(s) of having a covered call ETF such as ZWU in a diversified portfolio? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi team, I have these companies in my TSFA. Can you rank these stocks based on highest potential gains (catalysts) in the next 12-24 months? They are equal weight and I will need to liquidate 50% of them within the next year or so. I know short term predictions are difficult but best guestimates are appreciated

Q: Google is a frustrating stock, although I think it is under-rated and continue to have faith in it. But just when it reaches a new high, it pulls back again. Slow and steady seems to be the name of the game with this one. This sell-off seems overdone to me. The miss mostly due to the fine so why would anyone sell? Your thoughts on earnings?
