Q: Hi team,
I notice you listed TTD as one of your top current U.S. buys in a recent Q&A and I saw it again in Peter’s column in the Financial Post. It seems like you have turned very positive on it. I have been in it for about 6 months but trimmed back before the last earnings which turned out to be a blowout quarter. You just never know with tech earnings. It is now around $125. I am thinking of topping up again.

In the past, you seemed concerned that one of the big U.S. tech guys could easily get into the digital programmatic advertising space where TTD operates. How come no on has and TDD continues to just sail along? Aren’t GOOG, FB, and others concerned about the inroads made by TTD? Could it be a buyout target of one of the big guys?

Thanks again,
dave

Q: Do you have any concerns with Cormarks downgrade of Great Canadian Gaming? I hold the position that GC has good management that would analyze all scenarios before making decisions on the GTA bundle or any other investment. The share performance over the last 5 years speaks for itself and I see the dip as a buying opportunity for long term shareholders.

Q: Hi 5i,
I understand that many high net worth and institutions have alternative assets in their portfolios. Can you please help suggest some stocks which may be available for purchase on a Canadian stock exchange for an individual investor representative of the asset class.
1. Private Equity: BBU.UN, ONEX?, stock?, ETF?
2. Hedge Funds: stock?, ETF?

Q: Hi all, With today's (16 Aug) climb, I am almost breaking even with this one after more than a year. I am trying to position my portfolio with dividend stocks that have some growth opportunity (like many I have observed here). Should I take the opportunity and get out and look for a dividend stock with more growth in this space? Or is this possibly the beginning of an uptrend in DR.

Thank You, Stephen S

Q: Nice folks I hold 5% gold exposure split between GLD and FNV. Do you have an opinion on gold for the next quarter and/or year. There is some rumour that some central banks may be selling gold aggressively and some opinion that gold could be heading downward. Your thoughts on that as well would be great to read. Lastly would you suggest simply sitting tight with the current weighting and holdings I have as an appropriate "forever" holding. Thanks so much.
