Q: I apologize as I should have asked for some US names in my original question about stocks for my Smith Manoeuvre. 2/3 would be in an unregistered account and 1/3 in a TFSA? Would you be able to please provide 8-9 US names as well in order of your preferred ranking of what to buy first and which ones preferred for TFSA. Thanks again

Q: i have to be aware of the one answer begets another question syndrome but when you say
While we are not scared of high valuation stocks we prefer to do this on more-reasonably priced companies in case the entire market rolls over.

i have to ask what specific companies you might have in mind?
thanks

Q: Hi, based on the companies that you cover and also US if possible, which companies are likely to have a stable and steady growth in the next 5 - 10 years ? I mean, I would like to invest in companies that are fairly valued today and that can grow steadily in the next years, not extreme high growth companies. I aim companies that will give me a CAGR > 10% but with a medium risk.

Q: I am underweight consumer discretionary stocks (also underweight US stocks). I only own AMZN and REAL in this space. Considering ATZ or GRMN. Are there any others I should consider. What would be your suggestion to add? My portfolio has a mix of about 25 US and Canadian stocks based on reading your question section daily. Thanks for all you do for the independent investor!

Q: What are your thoughts on Garmin as an investment? It even near it's 52 week high it doesn't seem overly expensive. Is this because they're a mobile hardware company competing with Apple? I do a lot of road and mountain biking and it seems like every other bike has a Garmin mounted on the handle bars. Did I miss all the growth on this one or do you think it's got plenty left?

Also it looks like it still hasn't recovered from the '08 recession. Do you know what happened to them back then or why it's taken so long to recover?

Cheers

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,
Thank you for the service that you provide, it's been invaluable.
I currently have held JPM for the last few years and it's effectively been a net gain of zero. I think it might be time to move on for a bit and perhaps look to buy back at a later date. We already hold VEEV, AYX, TEAM, DOCU, TTD, NVDA, and QCOM, so I'm looking for a non-tech suggestion as to where to move. I'm hoping that you could provide a list of 2-3 quickly growing large(ish) US companies that ideally are near debt free and meet this criteria.
Thank you again,
Mike

Q: Hello Peter and team, I'd like to purchase some high quality US companies whose share prices have been unduly hit by the COVID correction. However, I want to do this in a conservative way - with larger, stable companies with low debt and strong balance sheets; assured 'survivors'. Can you please suggest 5 good US candidates in the 'survive and recover' blue chip camp, and a dividend of at least 2.5 percent. Thanks!

Q: Given the bounce back has been "quicker" than expected, what would be your top 5 US and CDN growth picks ranked in order with a strong management and balance sheet that would be considered "on sale" still from the Covid effects? Given I have a 5-10 year timeframe. Thanks.

Q: I have US cash to deploy and want to do so gradually in stages. I am already well invested in US Tech and I also have decent positions in COST and AMZN. Could you recommend some other US companies - those that have been unfairly punished by the virus that could be good long term investments. Also looking for some international exposure.
Thank you,
PD

Q: Hi. I currently own the following US stocks in a non-registered account: CCI, DIS, MSFT, MCD and V. Would you please recommend at least six other US growth stocks that pay a dividend in order of preference. Thanks!!

Q: I have some spare cash. Risk taker. In light of the recent pullback, would you suggest some growth securities preferably outside of Canada and USA for TFSA? The latter has to do with issues with US estate taxes for holding individual US stocks in personal accounts. ZQQ would be OK as it is Canadian domiciled but invested in USA situs property. Thanks.

Q: Good Morning,

I'm looking to add a few more US stocks to my portfolio. I'm adequately represented in tech and financial sectors. Could you give me 4 or 5 names in other sectors where above average growth might be expected.

Thanks for your help,

Q: Good Afternoon,
I don't follow the US market that closely, I'm looking for a handful of safer blue chip dividend payers ? Such as AT&T , perhaps you can list a few other names in various sectors you feel are well managed companies with good yield.
Thank-you
