Q: Subject: Investment Advice Request for US RRSP Holdings

Good afternoon,

I have some US dollars available for investment, and I currently hold the following four stocks in my US RRSP.

Could you please advise which of these you would consider the most attractive investment opportunity at this time?

I'm also open to any other recommendations you believe are worth considering.

Thank you in advance for your insights,

Would you add to, remove or change anything is this was your account (assuming you're 52 and plan to retire in 8 years). Not looking for a person allocation but rather if it was you, what might you be looking to adjust, if anything. Note I have no utilities currently. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Q: Role play. You're you giving yourself advice:

Assuming the market is going to puke all over itself today, what are you buying and how long are you waiting to pull the trigger on it?

Everything is long term hold.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have a Lump sum and I have close to an equal 25/25/25/25% split for these etfs/company. because i am in my low 40s i want to make sure i get my growth somewhat better in my younger years. Do you think this would be acceptable or should i be leaning more towards a xeqt/vfv split?

Q: I have a couple holdings that are giving me question for keeping.

I have a cost base of 20 on Sentinel and altho there was some positive stock movement a few months back the stock is currently showing little sign of moving higher. I know they are in Cyber Security. Is it worth holding and where would you suggest the funds could be better deployed if its a Sell?

In the case of SNN my cost is 24 but based on the longer term chart i'm not certain there is alot of confidence in the management when comparing to better performing Medical Device companies like Stryker. Would this be a Sell and redeployment of Cash into Intuitive Surgical?

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: I noticed in a response to a recent question that you disclosed owning Microsoft but not Alphabet when the question referenced both companies. Over the years you have been very positive on Goog and on that basis I have built a fairly large position. I am therefore interested to know if in fact you don’t actually have any ownership in this company, and if so, your reasons. Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I like your your opinion on salesforces' earning? The earning itself look very decent, but why did it drop 5% today? And what do you think of its long-term outlook compare to others in its industry. is there a name you like better?

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: General question about Microsoft. Historical data looks great, at least for the past number of years (when one looks at FCF, EPS, Share buybacks, Revenue growth, ROE, Debt - all appears to be great). Looking forward, what are your thoughts re investing in this company for the long term? My main concern is with valuation. It is trading at the high end of its average high P/E of the last number of years. What do you think are the plus, minuses and risk.
And as a secondary question, do you think there are better FAANG stocks, than MS (if yes, with a possible one sentence explanation)?

Thank You!
