Q: Good Morning.
I presently have UPST in a TFSA account. It is down significantly without tax loss sale possible. I have read that the new Apple payment system is disruptive to Block (Square) and to Affirm. What is your opinion on this and would UPST be significantly affected? Is it wise to continue to hold UPST or should I consider moving some funds into AAPL? Thank you.

Q: I need to increase telecom portion of my portfolio, so I am considering buying one of these four: BCE, Telus, VZ, and VOD. Can you please rate these companies at the scale of 1-10 in terms of anticipated total return and safety (I am a conservative investor) over the next 5-10 years. Please disregard tax credit and US withholding tax consideration as I am in a high tax bracket and, if needed, can free up some room in RRSP. Thanks.

Q: These stocks are in my portfolio and are way down from my cost. Are these worth holding, adding more or to sell and move on.

As these are in my non-registered account, I can use the capital loss to offset previous year year's gains. Could you suggest proxy for these in case I sell now for capital loss to buy them later.

Q: Hi Gang,
Wondering your thoughts on DocuSign earnings out today. I didn't think so awful, all though I do think the market wants to see actual profitablity now and docu did not deliver..again...is that your read?
Is the 20 percent off today a hint to buy or would you wait to see if future earnings reports turn around? They are cash flow positive which is a plus.
Thanks

Allan

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you put any weight at all on takeover rumours? This morning a Seeking Alpha article said that ROKU employees had a cease trading order put on them internally in the past couple of days. NFLX is rumoured to be circling. What do you think is the likelihood here?
