Q: Hi everyone!

I have a 2% weighting in technology. I am deploying a lump sum from a real estate sale and so far I've deployed 35% of my total, with 1% each in Kinaxis and Lightspeed, although Lightspeed is now probably a 2% position with its advance. Looking to exchange some money to U.S. dollars and was looking at the Companies above. My target weighting for technology is 14% so I can add a few companies. Which are your favourites? Any others to add to the list?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Thanks for all the advice and enjoy some quiet time over the holidays.
After the year end flurry of tax loss selling and portfolio adjustments, I will have new contributions to well balanced RESP and TFSA in 2021. Could you suggest 3 companies to add for each for long term holds and growth ?
Cheers, Peter

Q: Peter and Team:
I own 15K score Media @ 35cents. The takeover of Great Canadian looks more certain and that means very few public gaming companies to invest in, Score being one of them. Do the chances of it being licensed in most of the canadian provinces look like it will come to fruition? The USA states? The last cash raise should help the balance sheet, but for how long? Your opinion please about adding to my position forgetting about sector weights. Would you also compare it to Mitek, which you spoke favourably about on Dec 24th. Which would you go with, if either, or would you wait until the possible retraction in Jan. ( Sorry, market timing. )
Thanks,
Ben.

Q: Hi. On the above six stocks, I am down today alone (Dec 28) more than 6% on half of them and down 4% on the other half. On a day when the 3 major markets are up. The question is, is this a theme of investors thinking these are stay at home stocks with a view to normality returning and therefore more downside on these type of stocks to come as the virus wanes, or more just tech, growth, high flier stocks having their usual ebbs and flows.

Q: Hi, You already mentionned here that ZEM was more "tax efficient" than VEE, since "there is no US withholding tax" with ZEM. From what I can observe,VEE is only including emerging market stocks (and no ETFs or US stock), could you explain to me why VEE would be less "tax efficient" than ZEM ? Regards,JY

Q: In my TFSA I currently hold XBC, SIS, KEY and PKI. My philosophy has been, after an initial investment in XBC, to use the dividends from SIS, KEY and PKI to purchase more XBC. I realize that KEY has the much higher dividend but taking into account safety and capital appreciation would you add to KEY with my 2021 TFSA contribution or SIS or PKI?

Thanks Ken
