Investment Q&A

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

Q: When advising children who are young adults on building a portfolio in RRSP, do you recommend ETFs or individual stocks? Assuming one isn't buying and selling what individual stocks (4 in US and 4 in Canada) do you feel will still be around in 50 years and work well in a Gen Z RRSP portfolio. I imagine in 50 years, technology could be vastly different, but a bank or a rail will not disappear. Thank you!

Q: NVDA position has reached 12% of my portfolio thanks to it being at all time high.
Google position has become 17% also to it being at ATH.
Together they compose of 29% of my portfolio!!.

I think I have to sell a bit to manage risk. Of course the playbook is to sell a portion of these guys to buy something under valued that has more upside. But what looks better than NVDA and GOOGLE at the moment?

Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Please provide an update on Booking. It has languished this past year and now seems to be falling off a cliff like SaaS stocks.

I have make a very good return on it, still, thanks to your recommendation from years back.

Is it still worth keeping in this current environment? What is something I can swap into in the same space that would be less vulnerable to the markets idiosyncraties?

Thank you
Karim.

Q: Keeping current market conditions in mind and assuming we still have more downside to come, can you share 5 US and 5 Canadian stocks/ETFs on your shopping list? I'm not worried about diversification - just looking for your top picks regardless of sector overlap.

Thank you!

Q: I have 16.6% of my RRSP currently sitting in cash, from accumulated dividends and some contributions I never got around to deploying into the equities markets. Can you give me two names (US or Canadian equities) that I could spit this amount between, to purchase? Many thanks.

Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Good morning, Goats!

JPM is a favourite. With its cheaper valuation and current rate outlook it will benefit more on broad banking and scale. Is it landing on the higher valuation side of things now?

A crypto recovery, IPO’s, M&A activity, strong markets continuing. Garp and other metrics would favour GS.

What say you? Does GS actually pull away here on another steady run? Or would you still pick the more conservative and diverse JPM. If there is an alternative winner please share.

Thanks for all the continued work this incredible team does.
