Investment Q&A

Q: At current levels, which stock is a better buy in the short term vs. long term and what would you consider is a good entry point for each?

Thank you!

Q: My KXS shares have recently doubled and haVE exceeded my arbitrary 5% holdings threshold . I have a long term view of my tech holdings but wondered if you think selling off some KXS for Topicus or LSPD (or both) is worthwhile for some added growth for the next 5 years?
I am not adverse to holding onto to KXS if you think it could revisit its historical high in the next 12 months.
Some shares are in a TFSA and some in a registered account.

Thank you for your continued support.

Q: How would you characterize and rank the respective valuations and growth potentials for these 4 companies? Other suggestions for growth and diversification in an otherwise pipeline, bank, insurance company and telecomm-heavy retirement portfolio?

Q: 1)Please rank these companies in terms of long term growth.
2)Would you have any concerns buying at current prices?

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking at buying some NVEI. However, I am already heavy tech in general. If I were to buy some shares I would need to sell something to do this. The stocks that I already hold that would consider trimming to buy shares in NVEI would be: LSPD, WELL, SQ, MITK. Do you consider NVEI as having more long term potential than any of the other 4 mentioned? If so, which one of the 4 would you recommend trimming to buy some NVEI? Thanks

Q: I'm really overweight in IT. Close to 35% but I need to get down to 20% or less. IT holdings are: KXS (3.1%); SHOP (16.9%); CSU (5.2%); TOI (0.4%); DND (0.2%); LSPD (2.0%); SYZ (1.4%); PHO (1.0%); CRWD (2%); NVDA (0.7%); DOCU (1.5%).

Not sure if it makes a difference but all are in TFSA except KXS, CRWD and DOCU (cash/margin account). Due to the fact that I'm working I don't want to trigger any taxable gains if possible. Obviously I need to trim SHOP by at least 1/2.

SYZ seems to be a laggard since it has only appreciated 45% in almost 7 years so I think I should sell that. Do you agree? (assuming a balanced portfolio).

Aren't DND and PHO going to be purchased?

I'm emotionally attached to the high gains otherwise... What's your suggestion on how to bring down my IT holdings in a tax efficient way?

Q: Do you think LSPD has the long term potential to get a big as SHOP? I regret taking money off the table with SHOP as it climbed instead of just letting it ride. Don’t want to make the same mistake.

Q: Peter Hodson's article d/d 6/24 in the FP re 5 key criterias, Please provide some stocks from your portfolios and under u coverage that meet the above key criterias..Is it timely to buy them now? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: HI

Thinking of selling my LSPD in my RRSP (358 Shares) and buying NVDA.

I also own XIT (1,000) shares in my RRSP.

This way I get more US stocks.

Your comments please.

Thank you

Mike

Q: Hi, I was looking to buy NVEI and LSPD, would this be a good move or is there too much correlation between the two, thanks?

Q: I currently hold the following in my TFSA: ENB, EGLX, LSPD, PLTR, SUGR, TIXT, TOI.
I propose to reduce LSPD from eight to six percent, use the proceeds to increase TOI from one to three percent
of my total portfolio and recapture my principal investment in LSPD. From a risk/reward and diversification move does this proposal appear, on the face of it, to be a reasonable change to make

Thank you for considering my question

Q: As a 20 year-old, can you suggest 6 high risk/high reward Canadian or US stocks for part of my investments (I would look to buy on dips)? Would you recommend a portion invested in cryptocurrencies or is this just really gambling with the high volatility? I have a 5-year time line.
Thank you!!

Q: SHOP & AMZN decline a bit after reaching highs a few days ago. LSPD still doing well.
Is LSPD running too far too fast. What is a good price for entry ? Thanks a million.

Q: I'm thinking of selling 1/3 of my LSPD holdings and buying one of ABST, CGY, or SYZ, or NVEI. Which would your preference be? I have a pretty diversified basket of tech already but none of those names. Thanks.

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service. Generally TFSA is the place for high growth but my highest growth has been in my RRSP. Is there any compelling reason I should sell anything in RRSP and rebuy in TFSA (e.g., NVDA)? I realize I will be taxed on RRSP withdrawals while TFSA withdrawals are tax-free - but - my RRSP has a lot more cash than my TFSA so there isn't room to move all my growthy stuff over. Because of the relative size of RRSP to TFSA, if I were to do equal weighting of all stocks, I'd only have 4 different stocks in my TFSA, which perhaps is fine? Are there any obvious adjustments that you would make to the following:

RRSP:
XQQ 13.68%
VXC 12.03%
NVDA 7.64%
AAPL 6.70%
JPM 4.73%
BNS 4.52%
GOOG 4.32%
ENB 4.13%
MSFT 3.98%
AMZN 3.86%
RTX 3.51%
COST 3.42%
PG 3.11%
DIS 2.82%
CASH 1.32%

TFSA:
GSY 5.28%
CRWD 3.31%
VEEV 2.50%
ROKU 2.44%
SHOP 2.26%
WELL 0.85%
XBC 1.08%

RESP:
LSPD 0.79%
BYD 0.76%

NON-REG:
SLF 0.51%
T 0.42%

thanks,

Q: I have full positions (4%) in LSPD and SHOP. I would like to sell one of these positions for portfolio reasons. If you have to choose between between these two stocks, which one would you keep and why would you do that?

thanks for your input.... I find selling stocks to be much harder than buying!

Q: Hi,

These stocks listed make up the core position of my Canadian and US holdings.

Would you consider this list to be a good one for a 3-5 year plus time horizon? I am able to tolerate high risk .

Thanks

Q: Looking at adding to my TFSA portfolio (junior investor - not playing with a ton of cash). I’ve had my eye on WELL for a few months and I’m looking to get in because of your recommendations. What would you say is a good price to buy at?

Also, could you rank ENB, ARX.TO, and SU.TO? Looking at enbridge alternatives, but maybe ENB is the best best way to go?

Would you prefer SHOP or LSPD.TO?

Out of all the above companies (WELL, SHOP, SU, ARX, LSPD, ENB), what order would you buy in?

Comfortable with a bit of risk.

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Most stocks were down on Friday . Is there any reason for LSPD stock price to go up so much ? Thanks for your excellent service .

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on holdings in the portfolio. All have been winners - I am fairly prudent yet always looking for trends and will hold long term. I don't rely on dividends though they are preferable. Would you make changes for another holding(s)?

Petroleum: TOU, FRU, ENB
Finance: GWO, NVEI
Steel: STLC, LIF (Watching cyclical trends)
Auto: MG
Mining: CXB, KL, (TRQ - I expect an upturn in 2 quarters)
Software: CTS, LSPD, TOI
Healthcare: WELL

Thank you for your support.
