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

Q: It's time to make my annual TFSA contribution. The goal of my TFSA is long term capital appreciation utilizing a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of US equities, with risk profile somewhere between that of the 5i Growth and Balanced portfolios.

Currently, my TFSA holds: ADBE, GOOG, FIVE, NVDA, PAC, PYPL, SLQT, TOL.

Are any of these in the 'don't need to be owned' category? I am looking at SLQT in particular, still languishing amidst ongoing legal woes. Should this be kept? If not, would you please suggest a replacement? If so, then which of these should I add to: ADBE, NVDA, SLQT, TOL? I am full/overweight the other positions. Please disregard sector and market cap considerations; I am fully diversified in my other portfolios.

Please deduct as many credits as deemed appropriate for a complete answer, thank you very much and all the best for 2022.

Q: As the Electric Vehicles become more mainstream I was wondering if its time to buy into the market. Have you been watching any of the EV players such as Tesla, Rivian or Lucid?
Also, what are your thoughts on Lion Electric her in Canada?

I was thinking of buying a small position in one or two of them just to not entirely miss the opportunity to be in on the beginning.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Warren

Q: In a recent answer regarding LIF, you stated that "if commodity prices fall as expected". I must have missed the memo. My working presumption has been that in our growing economic environment, supported by government infrastructure spending, commodities were, if anything, likely to rise in the near to medium term. Can you please expand on this? Thank-you.

Q: The above mentioned companies make up my US portion of my companies for a buy and hold retired growth investor. Given that they are evenly held, not well diversified and weighted to tech, Looking forward to 2022 do any of these cause any concern to you. NIO and UCTT have been underperforming the most. Would you trim or remove any of these?

Q: I don't have any telecoms in my portfolio & would like your comments on how well or badly they will react to inflation. Which ones would you recommend or would another area be more appropriate? It's for my RRIF so I would like some growth & a safe dividend. Happy New Year

Q: Hi Guys, I recently listened to a financial guy who was asked to compare LSPD to SHOP, his basic point was that Shop's growth was organic, LSPD not so much and more by acquisition which by nature is harder to integrate into a common business this thesis made sense to me. Can you offer an opinion on growth organic vs acquisition & would you expect strong organic growth from lSPD in the future for a long term investment.
