Q: I hold these 2 US stocks in a well diversified CAN/US portfolio. They have not performed as well as many of their peers and I am wondering if they are "best of breed" and worth holding or if there are better opportunities for growth elsewhere. Could you please comment on the future prospects of these 2 stocks and if its best to keep them or redeploy the funds elsewhere. If redeploy, what would you recommend as replacements in the US, sector allocation aside with a focus on growth

Q: I have some U.S. cash to invest. I feel the U.S. market is going a little bit lower over the next few weeks and this will provide a great opportunity to capitalize on. Which of the above would you consider to have the best outlook ( or would you suggest buying a little bit of all four )??

thanks

thanks as always for your level headed thinking. I have a number of CAN dividend stocks as the core of my holdings. I now have cash that I want to deploy over the next couple of months. what are your top 5-10 US stocks (no regard to sector) that you recommend based on a 5 year hold.

Q: I bought a smallish position in MU after Peter had it as a top pick on BNN last year. It has done well thank you. I always considered it as a trade rather than a long term hold. Your BNN comments today confirmed this. I am aware of your views on market timing. What conditions or at what point would it be best to trigger a sale or partial sale? I hold it in an RRSP so here are no tax consequences. Thanks very much, Frank

Q: We have a small 1% weighting in both MU and KEYS and we are thinking of selling MU and buying more KEYS with the proceeds. We already have a 4.2% weighting in NVDA plus substantial positions in CSU, ENGH and SYZ to a lesser degree.
While MU is showing good momentum now it seems to be more cyclical than KEYS. NVDA also seems to be somewhat cyclical, charting similar to MU, at least looking back over 2019. I realize KEYS is much smaller than MU so by switching to KEYS we could be taking on more risk however with a 2% weighting it is maybe not too dangerous.
The other option would be to sell SYZ and use the proceeds to bump up both MU and KEYS. This would reduce our dividend income of course but I think we could manage with less dividend.
Any recommendations?
Your website lists a KEYSW:US without any questions on the stock. Has KEYS sold warrants? I can't find a listing on RBC direct investing.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hello,

I'm getting a little nervous about the valuation of Square lately and considering Micron or Apple. They are both much cheaper than Square, but how do you see the trade off in terms of growth potential over the next 5 years. Would you stick with SQ, considering a reasonably high-risk tolerance, or make a change? Thank you.

Q: With the Canadian dollar on a bit of an upswing, I'm looking to add a bit more US exposure. Currently we have SQ, TEAM, MU and AYX as our "Growthier" US stocks. (Thank You!) We're wondering what your top US picks might be for being potential "up and coming" growth stocks that are maybe a bit under the radar.
Thank you

Q: I bought Micron awhile back after it was featured on one of your BNN appearances. Currently down an insignificant amount after the little rally in the past two weeks. My question is whether now is the time to exit or if you still see good times ahead? There seems to be plenty of opinion out there that the sector is one to avoid right now. If selling can you suggest your favourite replacement in the US tech sector with exceptional growth prospects?

Q: Thinking of 3-4 year play in some combination of this group. Risk is not the primary concern. Is this a viable strategy for a small portfolio segregated from other assets? What combination, if any, would you recommend? AYX momentum seems to be slowing. Is that a concern from your perspective?
