Q: The genome space seems to have taken a hit and I'd like to add some to my portfolio. Can you give me 3 to 5 Canadian or US stocks going forward that you believe have the highest potential of gains( I realise this would also be subject to the most risk) for a 5 plus year hold.

Also 3 to 5 stocks from Canada or US that you feel should be held for long term exposure.

Thank you.

Q: When looking at growth vs value or tech vs more cyclical stocks, we have seen stocks like GH go from $181 to 99, Coupa from $377 to 208 or Acuity Ads go from $26 to $8 while the DOW hits all time highs. My question is what do you expect would happen to this type of small, growth company when a correction comes? Have they been punished enough that they are buffered or even so an inflow of capital in a rotation or would they likely be punished even more severely due to (still) high valuations? As a part 2 to this question, what would be your five favourite growth stocks that have been beaten up and would you start positions in them today or wait for further declines?
Thanks!

Q: This company just reported, seems to be a sizeable miss on revenues, how much was the miss on earnings? Their customer base continues to expand, along with their continually growing product offering. Is today's sell-off a good entry point, or should this company be considered too high risk, too volatile?
Thank you as always...

Q: The share price seems to have stabilized in the .70-.75 range for 2021. Do you see any long term growth prospect with Lucara? The last couple quarters have not been blow-outs, but have been positive overall. They have been investing in existing operations and increasing capacity, plus finding alternate ways to distribute carats. Are diamond sales expected to increase as the world returns to normal or are they projected to stay relatively flat? Would this be considered a buy/hold/sell at this point?

Q: IRBT got smashed by the market after their earnings on July 28th. They are now trading below their 200 day moving average. From my read of the earnings transcript, things on the top line are going very well, and the earnings disapointment is directly attributable to a shortage in semiconductors, getting caught in the US tariffs on Chinese goods (which they claim will change in the back half of 2021), and supply chain issues. But demand for their products seems to outstrip supply by a wide margin.

My questions: do you think IRBT is a good long term buy right now, or could it drift lower? Are hedgies selling? Is the short interest still high relative the past? Are they making progress with their strategy to switch to recurring revenue? What does the competitive landscape look like?

Thanks
