Investment Q&A

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: Of the three names in the AI sector would you recommend SYM, AI, or PERI?

Thanks

Q: Good morning. I need to add one Non-Canadaian growth stock to my unregistered business portfolio. Can you please give me a a couple of ideas but not MSFT, AMZN or NVDA unless you feel they could be added to at this stage. Two or three ideas would be great. Thanks again.

Q: Re your answer to Adam on APPS.

Throw the towel in and buy what instead?

Thanks

Q: Have you read the short report on Perion Network put out by Spruce Capital? Can you please comment on it? I was going to buy, but I am now thinking of waiting.
Thanks

Q: I am interested in Ai which stock or ETF should I start with?

Q: I am looking to build a concentrated US equity portfolio. Could you please identify your favs [greater than 5% allocation] for each of Income, Balanced and Growth portfolios [and, if possible for Quality portfolio].
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Can I get your thoughts on the latest results from PERI? Does the long term outlook continue to look bright as a long term investment?

Thanks for great service,
Angelo

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?

Q: Recently trimmed NVDA to bring position weight back in line. For US, any sector, what are a few top picks for a TFSA? And then how would IJT compare for growth potential and risk?

Thanks.

Q: Hello
I’ve held Guardant Health in a loss position for too long in a TFSA account. Would you please suggest several possible replacements in the small to mid cap space.
Thank you

Q: How do you feel at the moment about adding to Perion after it reported today?

Thanks. Lesley

Q: Hi,

I am intrigued by your answer to Derek's question May 3 about TTNM and others.

You said with "...with small caps a basket of three or four companies often is a better approach."

I own IWO (have for years) and note its performance against a US dividend grower like VIG, for almost any period for the last 5 years, has not been as good. That comparison combined with your notion of 3 or 4 small caps, would you be able to suggest your best small cap picks that I could use to replace IWO (recognizing the change in risk/profile of individual stocks vs. a hugely diversified ETF).

Thanks very much. Michael

Q: I am looking for your best small-cap value stock ideas. I'm hoping for three in Canada, and three in the U.S. Thank you!

Q: Hi Team,
I own some Cenovus stock. Today's quarterly results were not great, and oil price is sliding along with the share price. I am debating whether I should keep holding this name. I don't really care if I have oil exposure on not, I am ultimately seeking the best long term growth I can achieve regardless of sector. This being said is there any stand out buy's that you would rather own today compared with continuing to hold CVE? I am looking mostly at Canadian names, or US names that CIBC has traded on the neo (Canadian hedged). Or...is this a bad time to sell oil names with the recent weakness in oil price ( if you believe oil price will stage a recovery here shortly). Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Shane.

Q: could you give us your case for PERI,as you seem to like it.
Why is PERI so much more compelling then for example APPS or AT?
Wouldn't you think advertising budgets decline in times of a recession?
It might be apples to oranges,but if having only one choice between INMD,AXON and PERI,which one would you pick?

Q: Peter; I loved the chart- until this am- did a trader wake up on the wrong side of his bed ? Haha. Thanks.

Q: How would you rank these stocks for initial investments?

Q: Q1
Could you please rank from your six highest conviction CAD mid-cap stocks for a 5-year plus hold.


Q2
Could you please rank your six highest conviction CAD small-cap stocks for a 5-year plus hold.

Q3
Could you please rank your six highest conviction US small-cap stocks for a 5-year plus hold.

Q: I have followed your recommandation to buy CROX in 2022 and held on during the continuing blood bath. I bought more and now sits on a 70% gain and holding on. Thank you very much. Do you see another diamond in the rough in the midcap space? Please suggest 3 names with rationale and possibly good entry price.

Thank again for your great services.
