Q: Hello, happy Canada to all. Currently building a moderate portfolio with the stocks above, all full positions except WSP, open to also taking on some more risk and buying into the negativity. Long runway of 5-10+ years. Am looking for 3 new options that would help achieve an overall 2.5-3% dividend yield (2 CAN and 1 US). And 3 growth options (2 CAN and 1 US). Please omit GSY, ENB, MG, TOI, and GOOG (I know, sorry) as these are also held in a separate account. Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Good afternoon - I am about break even on a full NVDA position and am considering selling and purchasing QCOM. Both are well down from their highs and while NVDA may have a higher ceiling, QCOM does pay a dividend which I am eyeing with interest. What do you think, and why? Thank you

Q: I sold these earlier these in a panic , to avoid losing what was left of a fantastic profit : I am OK on the 30 day rule . Technicals seem to be hooking upward and this appears to be an opportunity . I suppose repurchasing is considered bottom fishing but they pass the "would you BUY this stock today?" question .... so would you ?

Q: I bought NVIDIA years ago and have been considering trimming as I’m overweight, and now want to take advantage of stocks that have recently dropped. I am a long term investor focused on growth with medium-high risk, what 3-4 stocks Canadian and U.S. do you recommend to help compliment my holdings? My US holdings are GOOG, COST, ISRG, V and my CAD tech holdings are CSU, TOI, KXS, and STC.

Q: I sold NVDA to accrue a tax loss and I can now buy it back. You were extremely high on the company 12 - 18 months ago but you have been naming other semi-conductor companies lately - QCOM and AMD specifically when asked about the sector. Have you cooled on NVDA and should I just stay with my proxy, AMD, or I am splitting hairs here and would you be comfortable with returning to NVDA for the long term?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: In what order would you buy them today for 3 years?

On separate note, I am wondering when 5I started and how long I am member.
It was exciting ride over many years and without your help I would not survive.


Thank you for great service.

Q: Of these four stocks, Lightspeed seems to be the most volatile. Jumps the most on good days and drops the most on days like Monday.
My son's RESP needs a quick boost - he is going into second year.
Would you buy all four or just Lightspeed and hope for the best? No diversification concerns, just an outright roll of the dice.
Thanks.

Q: Hi! If you listen to Larry Summers from Harvard on Wall Street Week he speaks of stagflation, Fed not raising rates quick enough, and difficulty with getting a soft landing. If you had to create a brand new portfolio today with a tilt towards income and could choose a combination of 16 stocks from either the US and Canada what stocks would you choose?

Q: Hi,
I've long been watching Nvidia and I know you like it a lot. With it's big drawdown I am likely to buy it. My dilemma is I don't have room in my cash or TFSA accounts for it, without either selling other growth companies I like or paying capital gains tax. I do have room in RRSPs. Do you think it would still be worth buying in an RRSP since any growth would be taxed at a higher rate once sold?
Thanks for your perspective.

Thanks

Q: I have about 10% of my portfolio in NVDA currently, and am . I have a 20+ year time horizon. Is this too risky of a position to take? Would I be better to put some or all of the money into XQQ, VUG, or GOOG to de-risk and position myself for long term returns?

Q: Hi,
You may have this question already, but if not - what's your assessment of NVDA's earnings report? I know they beat top and bottom, but how hard the management's comments will affect the price longer term I am not sure. I was also unaware of the sec settlement, so if you've anything to add as a comment to that, I would appreciate it!
Thanks for always helping to explain these things - it is very helpful!
