Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please rank these 5 stocks in terms of growth prospects and business model / sector strengths?

I have a 2yr to 3yr timeframe for these portions of my portfolio. Thx.

Q: Please rank following for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Gildan's debt is a little high but other metrics look good. Wondering if you think they can profit from "buy Canadian" momentum.

Have owned AXON, sold at nice profit. Thinking of re-entering. Would you enter now or wait?

Thanks for your wise counsel,

Mike

Q: The rumour today is that Trump's team is about to announce their first trade deal. It sounds to me like England. Assuming that more of these follow and perhaps increase in frequency, sentiment will change and I personally expect a risk-on environment.

Please list the 10 equities from the US and Canada (in any sector) that you project will move most aggressively over a 3 month period in an environment where trade deals are the daily news and not negative bluster. Note, I am not asking you to asses the probability of deals, just the 10 companies that are poised to benefit most in terms of share price. Note that these can be risky companies but if they are, please state that and explain why the upside makes up for the risk.

Please take an extra credit and state whether each suggestion is a short term trade or a long term hold.

Q: Is it too early in the tariff war to buy these 'growthy' names? If not, can you suggest two choices (prioritizing consistent earnings) and why you chose them?

Q: Please rank from most conviction in a recovery to least conviction. Thank you

Q: Is FOUR debt level manageable to weather the storm? How would you rank with VRT, AXON and FIX

Q: Which 5 Canadian growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Which 5 USA growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Five year hold.
Thanks

Q: Only within the last two months we were at record highs, now we’re in a bear marker for the Nasdaq and S&P nearing one. Futures are selling off again here Sunday night. US administration is digging the heels in on these tariffs.

What are your thoughts on the Trump and Fed put? If they don’t change course soon, the economy is going into a recession and midterms next year will be ugly for the GOP. Looking back at all previous crises, what do you think will happen in the next 6-12 months and what’s the game plan? VIX at these levels and large consecutive down days have resulted in nice future returns 1,3,5 years out. Let’s say you had 100k to invest now, how would you deploy over the upcoming weekly or monthly interval? Which 5 CDN and 5 US stocks would you continue to buy on any weakness, assuming only market related? Thank you!

Q: What is your view on AXON moving forward? If it is a hold/buy what is a reasonable time frame?

Thanks for your steady hand. It is much needed and appreciated.

Q: Could you please list these industrial stocks in order of conviction from best to least conviction. thank you.

Q: for a 5 year plus hold please rank the above from top to bottom.

Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: Are there any US stocks that are getting hit right now that would be good buys for long term growth holds?

Q: In January you suggested a portfolio for 2025 could look like the one noted below. I’m 90% invested. position size is a high of 5% (full position) and 2.5% (half position) depending on my perception of size/risk. Based on the current climate, I lowered Nvidia is down to 3.5% - anything you would modify today? 5i - a mix of quality Cdn. and US stocks, with a lean to growth: GOOG, NVDA, VRT, CLBT, AXON, JPM, RTX, CRM, NBIS, ISRG, BKNG. CSU, TRI, BN, WSP, WELL, GLXY, CLS, ENB, TD, SLF, V, BAM, COST and CRWD. Calling out I also have a 4% position in Amazon and 2% Shopify.

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on Axon's earnings announced on February 25th. After it's huge drop this past week is this a buying opportunity or a chance to get out? Your overall thoughts on the company would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: For a long term hold how would you apportion $30,000 among Axon,Crwd,Nbis

Q: Please comment on the recent significant draw down. Is the stock considered expensive at current levels?

thank you

Q: I am heavily tech weighted and am considering selling my entire position in NVDA and some CRWD as I have large gains in both. I would use the proceeds to buy positions in FLUT and SYK. I would still have position in AMZN, ASML, CRWD, GOOG, META, MSFT and VRT.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.
