Q: I have asked questions about core portfolio and compounders. I would like to refine my query to building a concentrated core portfolio [say, 20 CAD-USD total]. I start with the allocations greater than 5% in the 3 portfolios. BN is less than 5% on its own, yet, I wonder whether it would not be the core Canadian financial stock. As for US, there are many Fav lists, but could you boil it down to 10. For each stock, please provide key rationale for choosing it and a target buy price.
Much appreciated,

Q: Hello Peter & Team:

I would like to added some growth stocks into my current defensive ones. Which of the above stocks represents a good growth prospect within the next 3-5 years, from most prefer, to least prefer.
Secondly, From an AI perspective, are there additional names which is also a good candidate in addition to the above mentioned?
Thank you as always

Q: In my TFSA, these are the stocks I would "like" to buy (CDR, NEO), probably in the order I have listed them, unless you have a suggestion: GOOG, NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL. But I will need to sell some positions to raise the cash to do so. These are my options to sell, probably in the order I have listed them, unless you have suggestions: EGLX, LSPD, TOI, NVEI, ATS. The goal is growth over a very long period (TFSA will go to my children). I am open to eliminating any from the buy list in order to keep any from the sell list. I just don't know how to compare the American names to the Canadian names. Thank you: I realize this may not be an easy question to answer, but it will help me a great deal.

Q: Please rank these in order of preference for the long term? Greater than 10 years. A reasoning for each please.

Thanks

Nick

Q: Looking for some growth, long term holding...MSFT or APPL?

Q: Hi 5i Team -My question is actually more on the future of AI. In an answer to a recent question on Google, you mentioned that the company is investing heavily in AI. In your opinion is this a concern? From current information and articles it seems that AI has its flaws and maybe even ethical questions around some of its applications. Could you please provide me with your outlook on AI, its strengths and weaknesses, and specifically how this might affect an investment in Google - and other companies that are investing in this technology. It's Friday night so there's no need to respond until sometime next week. Have a good weekend!

Q: If you had to choose between the CDR and the actual MSFT stock which would you choose? What account would you hold in? Is the RRSP still the only account that does not have the 15% withholding off the top? Thanks

Q: Whats happening to google.

Q: Hi,
Just wondering your thoughts on the market reaction to decent earnings from PERI today. Is this a reaction to Google's AI challenges?

Cheers, Chris

Q: I am a dividend investor, considering high
volatility and potential NASDAQ and S&P 500 low points in 2023 ,I intend to " do an exception" in my RRSP, and to take position (for capital gain) in one ,or eventually 2 of these Cies.How would you rank all of them for a 2+ years perspective? Regards, J-Y

Q: I currently own GOOG, MSFT and NVDA and want to round out my tech holdings with a 3% investment in one last stock. Can you please provide three options - in order of preference - that you believe would make strong additions to my existing portfolio? I would also be interested in the rationale for each of your picks. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter et al:

A great question by James today and equally a great answer by you! AAPL wasn't included in James' question and hence the price targets characterized by Good price VS Great price for AAPL wasn't mentioned. I have added AAPL here.
(MSFT: 240/210; GOOG: 95/80: AMZN: 95/80.)

IF I were to request you to wear your Option trader's hat, (after all you manage a fund based on options!) how would you play these stocks. Assume that these are long term holdings and cash covered. Should one simply either buy puts or sell covered calls. Your "great" price targets roughly assume about 15% downside correction.

If indeed these solid stocks are going on sale and if one is determined to hold them for ever, why would one not make any money whilst one waits?
That's the thesis behind my question.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Hi there,

If you had to pick 5 stocks that that you think will return the greatest returns 5 years out, which would they be in order? Not "yolo" names, but 5 stocks with good risk/reward, 5 years looking out.

Thanks!
