Q: I'm wondering if you have strong feelings about the prospects of any of these or similar mega cap tech stocks, in terms of their values against each other or others similar. I own most of these but on their own they are fairly small holdings. Could you please rank, and which would be worth trading up for the others? Also how many would you recommend holding?

Q: Hello,
I read somewhere that AAPL took 42 years to reach a 1 trillion market cap and only took 2 years to reach 2 trillion! Sounds like compounding at work. How common is it for mature companies like AAPL to grow at this rate? Which of the other FAANGM companies would you expect some thing like this? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Would like your opinion om this fund for my US account, its performance is excellent five star morningstar rating. MER at 2% is high. Is there a similar ETF with similar performance? Or should I just be contented paying this fee considering its return? Do you see this sector continuing to outperform?
Thanks

Q: Hello you Guys,
My question is as follows :
A number of years ago (3 or 4?) on a portfolio review it was suggested I buy VOX as I had no telecommunications exposure. It has been up and down and currently down. Would it make sense for me to sell the VOX and swing into either Telus, Bell or any other holding you would suggest at this time? And while I have you, is there 1 particular stock you would say is a diamond in the ruff? I'm pretty well diversified so sector stuff not so important, just a really great company that you guys really like. Bet you hate these questions but you never disappoint!
many thanks.

Q: Which stocks (US or Cdn) in your opinion may serve as something of a hedge during the virus scare. Kinaxis, for example, doesn't seem to be getting beaten up (yet). I'm thinking of online shopping support stocks, streaming networks, or other businesses that won't be affected, and may even see a boost, if people choose to stay in.
