Q: Recently I opened a Corporate Investing Account for our small business to put money not currently required vs sitting in a bank account ; investing period would be at least 5 years. Funds are in USD so the plan is to invest in US stocks and currently plan to invest $15,000 to $50,000 USD. I am considering MSFT , NVDA and V. Your comments / recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi !

I invest mostly in growth stocks but with 28% of my portfolio in tech, I may be overloaded in this sector. My present holdings are: CSU (2.7%) PHO (2.5%) KXS (3.2%) SHOP (3.5%) ADBE (3.1%) FB (2.7%) GOOG (2.6%) MU (1.8%) NVDA (2.2%) SQ (3.%). If I were to reduce the number of holdings as well as my tech %, on which stocks would you suggest to concentrate, identifying those with most growth potential and those more risky ? Are there any other stocks better suited to my goal ? Or should I stay the course here ?
Thank you for your good attention,
JD

Q: It's getting a little scary to see such huge profits in my portfolio (Cash, TFSA, RRIF). I know you are flexible about percentages, so I'd like your opinion on whether to reduce the following equities and by how much?

SIS 7% ; BABA 6% ; NVDA 9%; SHOP 8% ; ALGN 6% ; DOL 9% ; PBH 9%.
Many thanks for all your thoughtful advice.

Q: I’m thinking of selling one or two of these holdings, all currently in a RRIF, and re-buying them in a TFSA. I’m thinking that the best ones to transfer would be the most “growthy”. What would you advise? Could you list them in order of expected growth?
As always, thanks for this great service!!

Q: Hello team,

There is a lot of debate about how AMD may actually, not in so distant a future, steal the show from NVDA by beating them in their GPU technology as well as other areas such AI technology. So which one do you side with NVDA or AMD? NVDA is a leader for now but would you invest in AMD if you were looking or even faster growth for a similar risk?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Q: I'd like to pick a US stock for my portfolio. I like NVDA, but do you feel it and MU at current prices are already overvalued and if so would you suggest something else.
Thanks!

Q: Looking to add a couple of different stocks to my TFSA. Based on your article in the FP, thinking of these as possibilities, but I have 28% in my IT already. I have 11% to invest after having sold TOY and ATD.B.

Q: Please deduct number of credits that you deem appropriate. I essentially follow and hold your balanced equity portfolio. It is supplemented with the following US stocks. JPM, STZ, SPOT, NVDA, GOOG, TEAM, UTX, HXL, BIIB and WYNN.

I originally bought WYNN for a trade on the recent dip caused by the Steve Wynn situation. Should I keep it as a long term position or take my profits and look elsewhere.

I have funds for one more position. Do you have any suggestions or should I add to some of the stocks I have.

Are there any of these stocks that you would sell and if so what would you suggest for a replacement.

Thank you for your service! I am sure someone else will ask but please let us know about your thoughts on SIS earnings release. It looked like a miss.

Q: Your opinion on the best 8-10 US stocks going forward (based on the metrics that you consider when choosing a company) as well as recognizing the TRUMP effect. I have been holding off on the US since February but now believe there is at least 12 -20 months of positive growth available before the next recession. Thank you.
