Q: I am down on Block and was looking to tax loss before year end. That said:
1) Would it be worthwhile to wait for earnings? I thought perhaps a good report might help improve this situation. 2) Is Block worthwhile to buy back after 30 days or move the funds to my 1/2 position in Visa?

Q: With the above four big tech companies above disappointing on earnings and being beaten up for it, is this the beginning of the tech earnings recession going forward? And do you think the stock market will begin to move more on earnings now and less on the actions or potential actions of the Fed? ie. if we want to buy these names would it be smart to sit on the sidelines now and let this play out for a while? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
Looking at the top ten holdings of XQQ and SPY there appears to be a lot of overlap.
Do you agree? Is it advisable to own both?
Thanks

Q: Google is only about 1% of my portfolio, total tech weighting in 15% of the portfolio. I'm down 30% on Google stock at the moment. It is held in RRSP. After yesterday's results and today's selloff, would you recommend hold, sell, or buy more? If your answer is "buy more" would you buy now or wait for better momentum? Timeframe 5+ years.

Q: Is it time to take a break from Alphabet for a while or is this going to be the bottom? Seems like there might be some better places to be for now. If yes, what would you choose right now? Thanks

Q: Hi

A few days ago I shorted TWTR at $52.00. My rational was that if the deal closes at $54.20 the downside is a few dollars and if the deal doesnt close the upside is $10.00 or more. Today Elon said the he would close the deal Friday. I also heard that TWTR would not trade Friday. I can (A) cover my short before Friday and take my loss or (B) hold on to my short in the hope that the deal never closes.
What happens to my short if I select option B? Will trading resume again, perhaps next week and I can cover my short or will Thursday be the end of trading TWTR? What happens to the shorts if TWTR doesn't trade again?

Thanks always for your insight
