Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I sold a number of tech stocks for tax losses late last year. As tech is on the rise again I am tempted to buy them back even though I was probably overweight tech to begin with. This has me wondering what you think would be an appropriate sector allocation between tech, industrials, financials, etc. I would appreciate a generic allocation for an average investor irrespective of age or personal financial situation. Thanks.

Q: I’ve finally broken even on NVDA. Their Q4 comes out later this month and I’m nervous since it’s up substantially from the dramatic low in October. Any disappointments and it will probably be hit hard.

If you owned NVDA what would you do? Ride out the report and hold on or sell, watch the reaction and reassess?
Thanks

Q: I was interrupted during my buy of ROKU last Thursday when it was below $50 and when I next looked it was $56! Ouch. I see it has earnings on Feb 15. I know you recommend buying for long term and not waiting for earnings, but I feel like it could go either way here, and a 10% rise this week is significant - do you have a recommendation regarding buying before or after in this case? Thanks!

Q: If 5i had 3 US model portfolios (income, balanced, and growth), which model portfolio(s) would you put NVDA into and what weighting would you currently have it around or where would you start trimming? Would you consider it one of those ones where you let it keep running as a winner and trim it along the way (e.g., year to date of 30+%)?

Q: I currently own GOOG, MSFT and NVDA and want to round out my tech holdings with a 3% investment in one last stock. Can you please provide three options - in order of preference - that you believe would make strong additions to my existing portfolio? I would also be interested in the rationale for each of your picks. Thank you.

Q: Hi, and thanks for all the advice.

I own the following in a unregistered account.
I'm in the red for all of them, BMBL down 59%, ETSY down 30% and PINS down 58%. They have all moved quite nicely in the last month so not sure to hang or or sell.
Do you think that these stocks will recover within 2 years or should I be looking to sell some or all and replace them with something else.
Please list what I should be selling and what I should be replacing them with.
Also your reasons for the swap and a good entry point.

Thanks
Joe
