Q: In a recent response to a question, you suggested that US financials were your second highest conviction sector, after tech.


With that in mind, could you please share your top six U.S. financial picks, ranked by conviction? Does BRK.B make the list? I’d appreciate a brief justification either way.

Thank you,

Q: Ignoring any crypto implications (I am decently invested in that area), do you think liberalizing the financial regulations in the US is likely to produce outsized short to medium term gains in that sector? If so, can you recommend a couple of solid names, a couple of speculative names and a couple of ETFs. Thanks again for the great service.

Q: Hi,
Looking to start a position in this group. All of these businesses seem very solid and their performance shows over time.

Looking to buy the best one or two names. Thanks!

Q: These stocks are somewhat different [financials and commercial services]. For a long-term investment, please advise top 2 for growth with rationale. Since all are priced for perfection, would plan to initiate positions only.

Q: Hi Team,

What are you thoughts about Financial data and stock exchanges stocks. They are holding up quite well and will have less impact from the interest rate cuts and financial meltdowns. Which one would you recommend from the 4 companies listed at current valuation.

Thanks

Q: Would you comment on ICE on the NYSE, please. It has performed nicely since 2015 and wondered if their earnings, etc. bode well for the future. -- i.e., justify continue to hold in this market? Although it's been a "bit rocky'", it certainly hasn't suffered inordinately. (Is there a better Canadian alternative?)

I am wondering which sectors are good for "parking" money at this time (that is, to avoid the crazy volatility of tech, for someone who is always heavily weighted in tech). Is gold a good alternative?

Please feel free to deduct points as appropriate, since this is a two-pronged question.
