Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thanks, 5I Team, for all the good work. I owe GILEAD SCIENCES since 2017. It is still around the same price I am down about 1.5%. Would you recommend holding on or moving on. If moving on, what would you recommend in health care sector, I already owe Cardinal Health & ABBVIE Inc. I am looking at long term investment.
Secondly, I owe FASTLY INC and am down about 40%. I am a long-term Investor and can hold on. Would you advise to hold on or switch to Lightspeed or something else? If it really has potential, I can wait it out don’t need the cash.
This is general question not stock specific. Normally I prefer to buy US stocks in RRSP and Canadians in TFSA and non registered due to withholding Tax. I am unable to make up my mind as to where to put the riskier growth-oriented stocks. In TFSA I am unable to write off the loss if the investment goes sour, If I put in RRSP eventually, one pays tax on withdrawal in retirement, but can’t immediately write off the loss when I sale and book a loss. In a non registered account If the stock takes off I end up paying tax on half the gains. What would you normally recommend?

Q: I have more tech equities than I want going forward. Please help me strike one or two off my list by ranking these in order of potential growth over the long term /min 5 years. For fun (since it probably won't affect my decision), please also rank from least volatility to most volatility. Thank you very much!

Q: What are your thoughts on STC . Low pe and positive earnings forecast. Would you view it as a buy at this time or are there other companies in the sector that you would prefer such as State Farm? Thanks for the analysis.

Q: Bought VEEV last year on the strength of your recommendation. Since then, it's bobbled about +/- 3%. Currently down about 2% in my TFSA. Should I replace it with ATZ...or simply try to be more patient? If the latter, please explain why. Thank you.

Q: Eddy Elfenbein recently wrote a detailed review of Veeva Systems (he also did one on The Trade Desk a few weeks ago for those that want to better understand that company). In general, he likes the company and its prospects but felt it was quite overpriced. I know that many tech growth stocks have seen share price reductions and Veev seems in line with those drops. I have owned the stock for a while and intend to continue to own it. What do you think my expectations should be going forward - slow and steady growth, high growth or it flatlines for several months as it grows into its current valuation?

Appreciate your insight.
