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: 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

Thanks!

Q: Good Morning,

I have a 5% position in Google and 2.5% in Microsoft. Given the (seemingly) unjustified after-earnings price drop in Microsoft, can I get your thoughts on the possible merits of bringing these two positions into balance?

Thanks,
