Investment Q&A

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor with a well diversified portfolio (in my opinion anyway). My proxy for the technology sector is XIT and it has performed very well over the long time period I have held it. I like using your charting ability to compare XIT to QQQ or other related tech companies or ETFs....great feature!


Question #1 = With all of the "AI" interest right now, I wonder how much exposure does XIT have to the AI theme? Which of the embedded companies within XIT have AI exposure?

Question # 2 = Is there is an ETF that focuses on AI-related companies or is there an ETF that focuses on AI-generated stock picks (in any sector) and what your thoughts are?

Thanks....Steve

Q: I own the above listed Canadian Stocks. Please rate each one as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and the reasons for your rating. Thank You.

Q: Oracle's outlook seems to have reverberated through adjacent companies with VRT, MOD, etc., etc., all popping. Ellison has made some pretty remarkable statements about expected growth over the next 4 years, and he does not appear, to me anyway, to be overselling.

My question is about three areas to look at:
1) Other cloud service providers.
2) The nuts and bolts builders of the data centers.
3) Companies in the electrical storage areas that might service the above.

However I have one main caveat, I am only interested in companies that have not had a 1,000% gain in the last 5 years. I know that might seem like a ridiculous criterion, but I keep imagining MOD or STRL investors running for the hills on a serious market pullback.

Thank-you again.

Q: Hi again,
Like CLS, these stocks have risen quickly and might be overvalued. Like CLS, some analysts seem to think the ride can continue.
Would you be comfortable initiating a position, at which price and why, please?
Thank you

Q: How many shares has CLS bought back this year? Were most shares bought in April after the market dip? Thx

Q: Could you name 2 or 3 Canadian company's that have constant high buy backs on their stock this year?

Any you would consider buying?

Thank you.

Q: Whats popping CLS today?

Thx

Q: CLS or SHOP for growth in Canada? Is there another you prefer? Sector irrelevant.

Q: CL has bounced quite nicely in the last few weeks. Still ok at this price? Where do you see this going, realizing its only an educated guess?

Thanks, Mike

Q: I recently sold Nvidia in my tfsa. I sold a call option on it and it was pretty close to the strike price, I let it get called away, since I am overweight Nvidia. Now that it is down I am tempted to buy it again. I can’t let myself forget the overweight aspect, though. Do you have another suggestion that I could replace it with? I want something nearly as good that I can sell options on, thus no or a small dividend. Sector doesn’t matter. I am also full weight on Shopify and Google. I am also open to smaller stocks that could show growth and are relatively safe—celestica and Nebius?
Thanks

Q: A question was asked about the growth of these two. Celestica won. But, how would you compare the safety?
Thanks

Q: I’ve been holding BYD for a long long time and just again moved into the black and am positive on it by a few percent. I was stopped out of CLS at 150 and have not owned it since. My thought was sell Boyd and by Celestica what do you think of that trade?

In 5 years will I be happy I did it?

Please consider the trade on its own. Portfolio mix is fine

Q: Hi team,
In your opinion is it a good day to add to CLS being its down 8% at the moment? Or is it looking like some pain ahead after the nvda earnings sell off and sept coming?

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.

Q: Hi there, what would be the best risk to reward AI play on the TSX? Would it be CLS? If not CLS, what name would it be? And could you maybe provide a few names that you have conviction in, in order? Thank you!

Q: On August 12th you gave $270 as a reasonable entry point for CLS. Now that it is around $250 and appears to be still dropping and potential for volatility in September would you add now or wait until it appears to settle?

Thanks for all your help,

Mike

Q: Please rank the following stocks to purchase today for greatest growth potential. Thanks

Q: Hi team,
With no consideration for anything other than total share price return, which of these 2 names ( Well, CLS) do you see performing better from today’s levels? Well has been lagging for some time now . Wondering whether my investment is better spent buying into CLS now that it’s pulled back a little bit in the last couple days.

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Down 10% over last 2 days. Any reason I should know?

Q: I'm going through some portfolio trimming. If restricted to 10 growth stocks today, what would be your choices?
