Q: Hi team,
Once again my portflio is tanking while the index just cruises along . I have names such as shop, Csu, Lmn, Toi , gsy, Rddt , png and other growth names all down between 4-10%. Canadian names as a group especially weak today . What’s your take on today’s market action? As of today are there any screaming buys out there ? I was thinking of adding on Shops earning drop or Csu .

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I must have been napping or looking in the wrong direction when these guys took off.

Lots of FOMO here. Can I still play? More upside potential?

Or look elsewhere for growth?

Perhaps similar but undervalued companies in this sector?

Thanks.

Q: Greetings,

1) To me it seems counter intuitive to buy a stock like VNP which has experienced such a steep appreciation in a short space of time.

Whatever happened to “reversion to mean” ? Surely this phenomenal rise makes the stock more vulnerable to a sharper pull back?

Or are we looking at a company that has a phenomenal runway and this is just the beginning?


2) Are there dangers making purchases based mostly on momentum? I am worried about “jumping on the bandwagon”? and making a FOMO purchase.


3) At what approximate price do you think the risk reward ratio is more favourable?

4) Is there a way of seeing who is actually buying at the moment? i.e General Public or Institutional or Insiders. Can we draw any conclusions from WHO is mostly buying?

My screen is showing a 4.5% insider ownership but NO recent insider purchases

Many thanks in advance for your sharing your thoughts.

Q: I have read an opinion that Bitcoin may have run its course and I assume this would apply to other crypto currencies as well. Could you comment on how widespread this feeling is. Do you feel that there is a case to be made for the sector or might it be best just to exit and move on to something else.
Also how many crypto currencies are there - my knowledge in this area is weak.
My only holding in this sector is Galaxy (as far as I know). Does it have other components to its business that might carry it through if the crypto sector continued to falter or even collapse.
Thanks.

Q: Good Day,

I have just started adding in to my cash account, which now has me considering tax ramifications. Since I am not looking to pay MORE taxes, what are some names you would suggest for a longer term hold with no or really low dividends and a long runway for growth. I have listed PNG GRID GRGD VNP and CLS. Would you add a couple other names and rank them with a comment on their preospects.

Thanks!

James

Q: "Trade Rationale - We continue to like KXS over a long-term holding, but amid the sell-off in software names, KXS has been hit, and while we think it can eventually recover, it may take some time. At this time, we are looking to reduce the size of the position in favour of adding to other names which we think have better secular tailwinds. "

is what 5i said in your recent market rundown piece. Just wondering what stocks or sectors you would be thinking of in particular, US and Canadian?

thanks as always
