Q: Hi,

I currently own META and QCLN.
For long term hold, I'm thinking about switching these two into SMART stocks because they dropped more.

1) Do you think SMART stocks will outperform META and QCLN in the long term?
2) Do you think SMART stocks are cheap enough right now given almost 50% drops?

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in investing in the EV Charging market and am looking at EVGO, CHPT and BLNK. Could you rank these in order of potential growth and add other companies that would be of interest.

Thanks for all of your past guidance,
Denis

Q: I am thinking of making the following move. Selling my TECH and then on the US side of my portfolio buying the top three from the fund. I am thinking MSFT, AAPL and GOOG. Do you agree with these three as the best of the six? And if not which would you switch out and why? Please note that for any buys that I am currently making companies need to be in a net cash or minimum debt situation. And am I right in presuming that I could claim the capital loss on TECH even though there is technically considerable overlap here? Thank-you.

Q: I have converted a RRSP into a RRIF this year and subsequently my mandated withdrawal and consequent income will be much more than is required for me. My portfolio is chock full of banks, utilities, reits and other solid dividend stocks ( think EIF, SPB ) , essentially matching the present required withdrawal amount. My non registered account has essentially the same composition.
I am considering taking the RRIF withdrawal money and incrementally buying more solid growth stocks such as BAM , TFII , WCN , FSV , etc. instead of higher yielding dividend stocks.
Your thoughts on this portfolio transition is appreciated. Derek

Q: Do you think we are near capitulation yet, today Monday? Markets are really down!

Q: With respect to Dev's question today about increased fuel costs. My personal experience with the trucking industry is that there is a fuel cost price adjustment added to every invoice which more than offsets the cost of the fuel. You are correct it is not perfect, but I found we more than covered the increased cost. Trucking is very competitive, but TFII is one of the best in my opinion.

Q: In answer to a question I had earlier this year, you mentioned the following when looking for capitulation:

“Looking at volume 'at the bid' is helpful as well, indicating sellers are hitting bids in a panic rather that waiting for a buyer. Gap downs are also a sign, indicating investors just don't care and want out.”

What is the best way to find this information?

Thanks.

Q: Hi, we are trying reduce our Technology exposure in US stocks. These are the companies held in our portfolio, in this sector, with weighting in descending order as follows: AAPL,MSFT,AMZN,MA,V,GOOG,PYPL,NVDA and ISRG.

How would you rank them, Today, based on the current valuation, growth prospects and risk ?

Also, should MA,V and PYPL be considered different than others ?

Thank You
