Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: There is so much buzz in media about the Magnificent Seven- the latest grouping that alleges dominance from these mega cap leaders and how 2024 is likely to see them fall from grace at least in momentum rallies, or at least in contrast to others.
Don’t support this assertion, ie is there relative price and growth rate relative to others such that they are due to get leapfrogged, or worse decline? I feel like this same line has been towed for several years and look at five and ten year growth rates for any of these as examples.
If you had some chunk of change would you lean here or elsewhere, say to financials or industrials?

Q: Pls give an example of the curency hedged CDRs for a rising/falling $Cdn vs $USD ? For example, if one buys the CDR for MSFT and the $USD falls by 5% vs $Cdn and MSFT stays the same value in $USD and you sell, do you get your original $Cdn funds back (less fees) ? Is it the same with a 5% drop in $Cdn vds $USD ? Thank you.

Q: You remarked about Apple that "above average market returns will be difficult to come by in the near-to-medium term." What tech-space alternatives would you suggest, if one wanted to move some money from AAPL to a company with better medium term grown prospects?

Q: Everyone, what is the rate of return for the large cap tech stocks vs the Nasdaq 100. For the large cap I would classify: AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, MSFT and NVDA ( you can add more to the list). Please use a time period that you have good stats for but or a 5 year or 10 year return period. I would like to know if it is worthwhile only investing in the big tech stocks overall. Clayton.

Q: Hi Folks,

My RRSP portfolio consists of the above stocks all with relatively the same weighing. Can you suggest 5 names or so, (CDN and U.S) that I take a look at that would complement the above? I am looking for a company that would be a good buy today for both income and capital appreciation - total return.
Thanks
