Q: My holding of Paypal is at about -40%. I’ve had it since 2020. At this point, would you recommend disposing it and add to other Fintech names ex: Google, MA, Meli?

Looking at the charts of PayPal vs MA vs Google vs Meli, I cannot help but regretting buying into PayPal. And it looks like PayPal is currently having nothing going for it.

Q: Am I correct that it appears SMCI wants to delay, but not redo, its 10K Filing? It appears a 10K Filing is required by the SEC and is far more detailed than an annual report. A delay in filing suggests there is weakness in Senior Management which is a definite negative. I don't believe in coincidences so I think it likely the Hindenburg report, posted 1 day before SMCI announced the filing delay, have sniffed out something. According to SMCI there is a problem with "the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting". A pretty general statement if ever I saw one! If they have been evading sanctions that could spell serious trouble. SMCI has a reputation in Silicone Valley as a "sweat shop" according to my son-in-law who once worked for them. Anyways I'm lightening my long position on the up days as I just don't want to sell into panics. Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: This is a follow up of the questions I asked about the Conservative ETFMU Portfolio.
Could you also provide me with the total average yield and the YTD Total Return for the Balanced and Growth Portfolios

Suggestions to improve current ETFMU Portfolio data presentation :
It would be very helpful if each of your ETF portfolio reports would always show the Total Average Yield for each of the 3 ETFMU portfolios. Also, it would be useful to have each Portfolios YTD Total Return % reported, not just the Vanguard Benchmark.
Including some data on actual historical performance results for each portfolio as well as an indication of turnover of holdings would also be useful.

Q: Good morning,

Both BYD and TFII seem to be strong compounding industrial 'transportation' stocks that have stalled for awhile. I seem to recall that TFII is expecting a weak Q3/Q4 before beginning to ramp up again. I'd like to get into TFII but am not sure if it's worth waiting for a further drop in 2024.

Could you please give a quick comparison of the two stocks, including which one you think will grow more quickly in the near/long-term, including suggested entry prices?

Thank you!
