Q: Hi Team,
I'd like to start positions in an aggressive growth portfolio in the artificial intelligence, genomics, renewable energy (and EV) sectors (2-3 positions per sector). Holding time 2-5 years.
Also considering Bionano Genomics (BNGO).
1. Please rank the sectors for expected growth. Are there any others I should consider? Are they already overbought/overpriced?
2. Please rank the stocks in each sector for expected growth. Are there any others I should consider?
Thanks!

Q: I believe they're reporting after the bell today (Wednesday). The stock has had a huge run, no matter how good the results, I imagine it'll be a 'sell on the news'...maybe they can consolidate a bit in here. If you could provide your analysis of the results, please.
Thanks very much.

Q: Hello,
I am considering moving about 10% of my unregistered portfolio into international (developed market and emerging market) bonds.
I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on this move -- as some are saying the bonds are even more of a potential bubble than equities -- and which specific bond ETFs you might recommend (ie: EMB for emerging markets).
As always, many thanks in advance! Aaron
