Q: Looking at the recent weakness in the growth stocks above, my first question is whether you'd begin considering initiating positions in them, my second is how would you rank them and my last is why you would choose that order. Thanks in advance!

Q: We know uncertainty helps the markets drop. With Russia saying they are drawing back troops and NATO and USA say they are building up, one could anticipate uncertainty ahead. With this in mind, is there any advice for which type of stock might be the best to buy on a future dip?

Q: Hello,
My question is regarding tax loss harvesting. I believe that there is plenty (or at least enough) time to sell then repurchase Shopify within the 30 day period required to harvest a significant loss for tax purposes and not loose out on much increase in price.
Would you agree and any comments?
Thank you,
Brian

Q: Many of us have stuck with Shopify as it has been descending , only to suffer severe paper losses on the recent price collapse.
I "hung on" because of comments made by 5i about keeping invested . We incurred a similar situation with Lightspeed last year .
Many of us are risk takers, but we put a great deal of trust in your experience. When we are blind-sided like this , comments suggesting that the price will likely recover in 5 or 10 years aren't helpful ...

Q: It feels like a gut punch. Down 20% today. Down 60% for 90 days ago. Sentiment is negative. It is now rated as Moderate Buy with 7 buy ratings and 5 hold (Tipranks).

A number of analysts have not rerated yet cause the earnings are so fresh.

The Balanced portfolio is now down +25% since inception of the position.

I am afraid (little late I guess) that the stock, not necessarily the company is broken.

I do not see a short to intermediate term catalyst that will turn this freight train around and just thinking, Where Are the Opportunities Now?


Sorry, still in a little daze about the drastic decline of this position. Not sure what to do at this point?

Q: Good Morning
We have a approximately 10k that we would like to contribute to our Grand daughters RESP. We would like to do so with stocks and have about a 10 year window before the funds would be needed. Could you suggest 3 conservative stocks that would be appropriate for this type of account with one additional stock having a more aggressive approach?

Q: I have a small RESP for my son and was planning on splitting the account with these 6 stocks. Any thoughts and / or suggestions on removing / adding name(s). Buy and forget for 10yr+ and likely adding to the positions every year. My intent is to have a more serious look at the allocation / risk once the amount becomes more meaningful. Thank you!
