Q: I had the pleasure of listening in on the conference call last week. One theme that I agree with is to sell your losers. I understand you mean on fundamentals, not price alone. I am holding some of your favorites, and they have all taken a bath with the market. I wonder if it is time to let any go, or are they all still a hold
CAD: GSY, DOO, PHO
USD: NVDA, BOX, GRUB

Q: With all the subsidies benefiting US car industry. Do you think it is beneficial to start a position on a company like GM?
Or, Would it be better to invest in companies which develop autonomous cars? Can you suggest any such names of software or hardware for autonomous vehicles? I already have a half position in MG.

Q: I wish to allocate up to 10% into this new sector - if I understand it correctly. Currently I own TELUS [about 3%/10% target], and at 1% - TD Entertainment & Communications [allowing that 51% will move to technology], SPOT, IQ, NVDA.
I wish to add eSports and streaming stocks to this sector - TTWO, ATVI, TCEHY?? and NVDA.
Pls advise how to build this sector with growth in mind.
Thank you for excellent advice.

Q: Thanks to good advice from 5i, my tech stocks have done well enough to make up close to 40% of my holdings! Within the sector, these are my waitings:
CSU - 12%, KXS - 12%, SHOP - 11%, CLS - 5%, GOOGL - 9%, SQ - 11 %, AAPL - 10 %, NVDA - 9%, AMZN - 15%, and SPOT - 6%.
Some of these are broadly spaced within the sector, and I hate to let any of them go, but I’m getting a bit nervous about vulnerability to a general tech turndown. Do you have suggestions for me?

Q: Hello, Can you suggest any other company US or Canada which is enjoying the kind of momentum and growth like SQ and would meet your general criteria as good long term stock? Thank you.

Q: I realize these are U.S. companies but the NVDA vs. AMD semi-conductor showdown is one of the most interesting investing tilts on offer right now. I have held NVDA for several years. It's my largest holding and I am up 325% on it. It has been a gusher. It has routinely whipped AMD like a pinata. But has the tide turned? NVDA is "only" up 26% this year and is getting thrashed today, post earnings, for having the temerity to only post substantial gains in 5 of its 6 lines of business. Meanwhile AMD has nearly doubled YTD and is now a Seeking Alpha darling. NVDA is clearly a remarkable company but the fastest jet stalls out at some point in a vertical climb. Is it time to sell some or all of my NVDA stake? Given its sky-high valuation do I crystalize profits and redeploy? What's your reading on these two competitors today?
Read Answer Asked by Kim on August 20, 2018
Q: I have a question about 461
I trimmed about 15% of my shares of NVDA today ahead of earnings mainly because I was up over 300% (thanks to 5i) and felt that expectations were so high that even with an earnings beat , shares may see some weakness. Can I please get your comments on their results and your opinion going forward? To me it looks like a solid beat but is it guidance that is resulting in a bit of a sell off after hours?
Thank you

Q: I have been a die-hard on IBM, holding through the long decline, thinking that the promised turn-around would come. Meanwhile other companies seem to have superseded them in cloud computing. I thought that I could not go too far wrong, since ibm had such a good dividend.. But, I have noticed that the dividend payout has become quite high (0.98) i think. And some have raised the question of the sustainability of the dividend. Especially since their buybacks seem to have occured when the stock price was high and not recently when low. I am thinking finally, because of this, of throwing in the towel on ibm and buy something like Nvidia in it's place. I was wondering whether you thought there was any hope for IBM and also your opinion on the sustainability of the dividend. Thanks as always for the exceptional service.
