Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In reviewing my various investment portfolios (RRSP, TFSA, Non-Reg), I realized that have no exposure to the Real Estate (R/E) sector in any of them (residential or commercial). My impression is that R/E hasn't been a particularly strong performer over the last 4 or 5 years (really since COVID), so perhaps the gap in my portfolios hasn't really been much of a hindrance. Would you be buying into the sector right now & why? And if so, what 3 to 5 investments (i.e. companies / funds / REITs) would you recommend for long term growth (& perhaps some income) and why? Thank you.

Q: NVDA has now grown to 8% of my portfolio and I am considering paring it back down (again) to 5%. I don't have any crypto exposure, so am looking at investing the freed-up funds in HOOD. This would bring my investment in financials to just over 30%. I know you can't comment on individual allocations, but if this were your portfolio and you already held BN, BAM, X, V and HMAX...would you be concerned about putting too many eggs in the same basket? Or would you feel there is sufficient diversity within the already-held funds to add HOOD? Thank you.

Q: I'm thinking that we are still in early innings of the AI / Data Centre / Power Consumption game. Assuming that to be true, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to capitalize on this opportunity. So, what are the top 3 to 5 sectors & their companies you would curate in a portfolio to "win" this series over the long term and why? I would appreciate your valuable insight once again. Thank you.
