Picks for 2021

At the beginning of 2020, my 5 picks for the year were:

Couche-Tard: 8%

MTY: 1%

Boyd Group: 12%

Facebook: 30%

Alphabet: 30%

Average performance (excluding the impact of US$ and dividends): 16%

My selection did OK, but it's about the performance of the S&P500. I don't look like a genius here. People who bought Shopify look much more like geniuses than I do. And while I'm still not that comfortable with Shopify, I bet that people investing on that stock will do well or very well in 2021. 


Now, here's my picks for 2021:

Square (SQ)

Facebook (FB)

First Isaac (FICO)

Epam Systems (EPAM)

Nike (NKE)


I invite you to suggest your 5 highest conviction stocks for the year ahead. There's two conditions: 

1- Propose 5 stocks, not more. Because I want only very high conviction stocks (you'll probably like it more too if it's short);

2- These stocks must be stocks you own. 

3- Thank you.

4- Goodbye.

  2. Due to a computer crash in October (okay I actually spelt coffee on my laptop keyboard) I lost my picks for last year...Probably a lucky coincidence since i don't think they did very well in 2020...

    My picks for 2021 from my retirement portfolio are below...

    Blackberry Ltd.....BB on the TSX
    Whitcap Resources Inc.....WCP on the TSX
    Baylon Technologies.....BYL on the TSX
    Plaza Retail Reit.....PLZ.UN on the TSX
    Sienna Senior living Inc.....SIA on the TSX

    The above picks are all smaller positions I hold that have underperformed for a long while now. But since the object is to try to predict next year's performance, I'm picking them to bounce back next year...

    My larger positions are well entrenched and I will continue to hold them.

  3. Here is my pics for 2021 made more from a long term growth perspective.

    Here is my picks for 2021, made on a long term growth potential perspective

    1. Copart

    Excellent profitability and good growth track record that I expect to continue. Strong competitive advantage due to an extended network of car storage yards across the USA and around the world.

    2. Constellation Software

    The growth potential of this outstanding compounder will last for a while

    3. Boyd Group

    Lots of room to grow due to its relatively low market cap and potential to increase its geographical footprint in North America

    4. Microsoft

    The cloud service growth will continue. Highly profitable business with an outstanding competitive advantage

    5. Visa

    Another cash cow with a strong competitive advantage due to its extended network.
