Q: Automatic Data Processing(ADP), just came out with their earnings report can you comment quickly on how you think that went? But more importantly can you tell me how changes in interest rates affect this companies profits and what you think of this company long term in the portfolio. For the most part it looks like a great company long term can you comment on the pros and cons and WHY did it have a correction of roughly -23% since it's all time high June 6th/2025? This a screaming buy now?

Q: I know it’s not in your wheelhouse but would you have a good suggestion to invest in India? With the European trade deal and potential for increased trade around the world including Canada, it seems like a good place to begin investing a small portion of one’s portfolio

Q: Hi! I keep seeing commercials for Sofi accounts in the US, and it seems enticing. I never see commercials for Robinhood. I hold HOOD and am wondering what the difference is between this and Sofi. Why should one continue to hold HOOD, and is the negative momentum due to competition? Does one hold through this negative momentum? Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hi,

Sorry my last question meant to ask about individual stock compounders, not ETF's. Can you list 5 Cdn and US names that you would DCA into over time? For example, I'm assuming BN would be on that list. What other names? Looking for names that can CAGR +10-20% over time. Thanks!

Q: Can you suggest some stock and ETF's traded on both US and CDN exchanges that employ many blue collar workers that may not be effected by AI implementation. My thinking is that one always needs humans to do "actual" labour like building homes, plumbing & electrical maintenance etc. Does this make sense?

Q: Hi team,

These 4 companies in the field of AI are apparently considered undervalued by Bank of America.

Do you think they are a good buy now for a growth portfolio ?

Gratefully,

Q: Patience is wearing thin on some of these names, they just continue to have negative momentum and I don't want to sell into the negativity and sell just because others are selling. What are your thoughts? Are fundamentals still strong in these quality companies? Is your updated view still a hold on these? Thanks!
