Q: I have small positions in the above noted companies held in my TFSA. They are all underwater and so there is no tax advantage to selling these losers. I would like to sell some or all of them and either to one or more of them or move on to some small techs that have more prospects. Can you let me know which of these you would sell hold or add to. Thanks for your ongoing great advise.

Q: Comments please on the large drop today.

Is this sell, hold or buy?

Thanks in advance
Rick

Thank you!

Q: The eyeglass/contact industry seems ripe for disruption due to high costs to the consumer, often paying several hundred dollars for a pair of glasses. Warby Parker and Zenni optical are at the forefront of this disruption. Almost everyone I know buys online these days, $1-200 per pair. Warby is publicly traded, reported today. What is your opinion on Warby and do you have any idea if/when Zenni will go public. The former has retail stores, and charges more for their product, the latter online only.
Thanks

Q: Now that energy stocks are going out of favour, it's time to start looking at the what might be attractive from a valuation point. I'm looking for a US energy company (not XOM or CVX): what are your thoughts on DVN and PXD? Is one preferable or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Q: Looking at the price performance of this name the decline appears to have started around the time an increase in interest rates was contemplated since when the price has halved and the yield gone from around five to about 10%. Listening to the conference call the recent shortfall appears to have been problems with their Prospect investment, against which management says they should receive some or all of the moneys owing, probably in '23, maybe '24, and that the future for their facilities are buoyant - not that anyone would fault management for championing their business. Over the years, and they have been almost all low rate years, their unit price has not dropped below 10, or 9 if you go back 20 years save for a brief interlude in ‘09, since which time they have presumably grown.

Q: I have been letting Nvidia run and it has been doing so nicely, thanks 5i. It's almost a 6% portfolio weight for me now. I am 71 and it is held in a RRIF. If this was your account would you pare it back and if so to what level. Thank You

Q: What are your thoughts on AGNC as an addition to one’s portfolio for income? The yield is double digit (so very attractive yet seems suspect) and the stock price is doing at bit better this year.

Q: I was pleasantly surprised to see UVE up 15% on Friday on its quarterly report. It's up another 15% today, which has me wondering what's going on and whether this sudden explosive increase is justified.

Q: I am optomistic that Peter and Eric Nuttall are bullish on the gas sector, as in the 5i reply to Kevin's query (Feb 27). What are your views on XES? Technically, it looks like it has a huge runway to the upside ...Thanks....Lionel
