I have been with the above stocks and seen their highs in my portfolio. The punishment for not selling however is to see them crash and burn. Some I still have some money left in and some I have lost 98% of the original investment (APPS).
So, should I just sell them all or is there an argument that one (thinking MGNI) may be worth keeping.
Q: Hello team,
What is your view on a AtkinsRealis and Descartes Group? Are they both buys? Recently AtkinReaslis released very good results so was thinking of adding to my position. Thanks very much
I am setting up TFSA and FHSA accounts for an 18-year-old with a 15-25 year investment horizon. The goal is to contribute the maximum annual limit each year, which is $7,000 for the TFSA and $8,000 for the FHSA in 2024, and continuing at those levels in subsequent years. From an aggressive growth perspective, without restricting the investment options to Canadian markets, what would you recommend? Also, do you recommend making an lumpsum investment or spread the purchases over time? If so, how do you suggest I spread the purchases.
Q: Are there any non-hedged ETFs that you would recommend with a focus on mid-sized US companies? Preferably with a focus on safe to moderate risk companies.
Q: What do you think of Danaher's current valuation, do you think this a good entry point to start a new long-term position?
Given their long-term success, I'm thinking the company should be capable of navigating any potential "political" headwinds with the incoming US administration?
Q: I have some cash that I would like to put to work and I have small positions that I would like to reduce. My main objective is growth with a bias towards low beta equities at this time in my work life. I am about 4 years away from my planned retirement.
These are most of my held equities along with weightings. NVDA 13.3% CSU 6.4% BN 6.4% SAN 5.4% SHOP 4.8% CRWD 4.3% TOI 3.8% VRT 3.4% ENB 3.2% BIP-UN 2.6% BEP-UN 2.3%. The following are 1-2% positions 13.5% as group; COST TD ATZ BNS AMZN TTD PANW PRL BRK.B. The rest are< 1%/each approx 10% as group BCE ASML HPS-A TMDX ISRG TMO GSY ASPN DELL SNOW NXT.
I plan on continuing to hold most of these positions including the smaller positions (<2% positions). I would like to reduce the number of these smaller holdings.
Could you please rank these smaller positions with the keepers at one end of the spectrum to goers at the the opposite end of the spectrum.
Q: CAE has been another good news story for me this week. Finally they put together a decent quarter, at least in my eyes, what do you think about their qurarter? I know one quarter does not make a trend but I would hate to get out of something after a good gain. Now it is nearly at $31. Is this fair value for CAE for the near to mid term. At this price there should be no tax loss selling on CAE this year, right? My discipline tells me to sell but does your expert opinion shout, "gain for the long haul"?
Q: Hello 5I. I’m at break even with Smci. Should I hold or move on and catch the next train up?
I presently hold NVDA,AXON,VRT. I’ve done very well with the other three, thanks to your us side suggestions. If I move, what would be your picks.
Thanks again for your great work

Q: Paramount Reources POU. The Riddel Family is back doing deals which is fine by me. But I am not sure if I should sell yet or hang on for the stock fo get bid up a bit more. My risk/reward thinking was: If North America has a long and cold winter, nat gas will go up and the price of nat gas shares (for all companies) would go up and I would sell the rip. The down side thesis was: if North america has a mild, short, or worse mild and short winter, nat gas pricing would stay low, POU would still pay a 7 per cent monthly dividend and the share price would bump around in the $25 range. In short, limited downside with potential a good upside. With this deal that has all changed. I think I should sell POU and get back into ARC. So what do you think? If you do the math is $32 too cheap to sell POU? If so, how much more could arbitrage drive up the POU share price? and is switching nat gas horses from POU to arx or another stock a good idea (even though winter again has not arrived even though it is mid-November!!!)
Q: Stop me if you've heard this story this year: I am having a once in a generation year with my portfolio up 50%, a chunk of that driven by Nvidia and its explosive growth. NVDA is now 40% of my portfolio which I acknowledge is insane. But having owned it since 2016 and benefitted massively, I have no intention of selling it, at least not yet. The rest of my portfolio is made up of successful U.S. and Canadian tech, and, on the other end of the scale, conservative, low beta, mostly Canadian dividend payers. They provide ballast to my tech/NVDA risk. Getting to the point: I have $35K to invest and it should be directed to the conservative part of my portfolio. What names would you suggest that tick the following boxes: +4 % well-covered yield, slow but steady share price growth, solid fundamentals, probably Canadian though open to U.S. stocks, irrespective of sector. In the conservative part of my portfolio I already own: all 6 big banks, FTS, ENB, GRT.UN, BAM, BRE, EIF, FC, FFH, PPL, SLF, TFII, TRI.
I am thinking about getting a chunk of rci.b. Good idea?
Do the markets seem frothy?
Would you suggest your top 5 stocks for share price increase in the short term...and with next to no chance of permanent loss of capital in the long term?
