Q: I have assembled a few names from the US exchanges that have had a tough few months and are likely experiencing some year end portfolio adjustments, ie, Tax Loss Selling. From the names I have here, can you identify two that you feel will have a better 2022, also curious if you might have an additional name for consideration. Thanks very much, happy holidays to you folks as well as all our 5i members

Q: Hello 5I.
I have a pretty well balanced portfolio and am currently a little overweight tech. That said I am torn on weather to take a loss on $Sq and buy something like $CRWD or $Apps as I want to keep the growth tech. I am down 20%. The tax write off is a small help but not the decision maker. With that is mind do you think $sq has more upside vs the other 2 listed? Would you recommend I just stay the course with $SQ?
Thanks

Q: What a dilemma. Apple is the best performing stock in what is supposed to be a relatively safe and balanced RRSP portfolio. But it has grown to represent 20% of the portfolio. I feel I have to sell a good chunk of this high performance stock in order to correct the balance. Can you suggest what I could buy to replace the shares of Apple I sell?

Q: What are your top 3 U.S. stocks that look promising both in 2022 and beyond. I must admit, other than 2008 and March 2020 I do not recall a period in time where small and mid cap stocks have been crushed like this. Would you consider us in a bear market, even though the large caps mask this and markets at near all time highs?

Q: Curious to hear your thoughts about CET:NYSE, Central Securities, as a potential 5- to 10-year hold for diversification, some income and capital appreciation. Also, would it make sense to hold this in addition to BRK.B, BX, and a few ETFs (VGRO, VTV, VWO)? Thank you!

Q: Hi, I have ACN and VRSN on my watchlist and am wondering what your thoughts are on these two tech stocks, which you would prefer and why. There are no previous questions on VRSN but ACN has gotten favourable comments from you in the past.
I have some tech stocks that have gotten pummelled lately (ie. DOCU) and am thinking these might provide some growth over the years without the same volatility as some others.
Thanks for your insights,
Doris
