Q: Hi 5i Team,

I’m down on all the above stocks as follows CRWD Down 36%, ETSY down 40%, PINS down 52%, PYPL down 64%, SQ down 72% and U down 77%.

With a 2 to 3 year horizon which of these are worth holding and which once I should sell and can you suggest US replacements and not necessarily in the same asset class. Just good stable companies that have good growth potential to outperform the indexes.

Take as many credits as you feel necessary.

Thanks
Joe

Q: Hi Team,
What's your read on the short report on Block? Is the selloff justified or is it a buying opp? This is frustrating after the stock just finished getting a few upgrades with earnings and momentum starting to pick up in the name. Buy Sell or Hold after the report? Thanks

Shane.

Q: I am considering purchasing CDNS, although it is quite high right now. Also considering either SQ or Nuvei. Wondering what your thoughts might be on these stocks and if I should hold off on purchasing?
Thanks.

Q: Hi team ,
Sq share price continues to struggle in this environment. With a long term horizon is it still worth holding on to this name for better days in tech stock performance? When I had first purchased it I envisioned great growth ahead with its pos and cashless payments systems. Is the story still in tact or are there better names to own at this point? Particularly inside of a tfsa?

Q: I know you guys try to answer exactly the question that was asked, which is good. However, I was surprised to see BB in a recent answer to your favourite Canadian companies that offer disruptive technology (AI, quantum, other). In the past, you were always negative on BB for its poor earnings record and shrinking revenue base, etc. Are you getting more positive on BB’s growth prospects or perhaps there are not that many Canadian companies to satisfy the question? Also, what would be your top 5 U.S. disruptive names, where the pickings are a lot thicker?
Thanks
Dave

Q: These are my candidates for tax loss selling. As a proxy for OKTA I intend to add to my existing position in CRWD, would you agree with that strategy? As for the other 3, I do not intend to buy proxies however I would consider repurchasing after 30 days. Do you suggest proxies for these 3? Also, would you repurchase. Thank you.

Q: Can you supply a few suggestions of dividend stocks that may be good to purchase during tax loss selling? Canadian and US if possible.
A few growth stocks would be a good balance to this question as well! Thanks, James

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I own the above noted stocks as a smaller portion of my portfolio of higher risk names. All of these names are down other than CTS. Do you see any of these names as ones that I should sell as part of a portfolio clean up?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following 3 aggressive names in a US cash account (sq, rblx, apps). As a group they are down 65% , in close to equal weighting’s . What do I do with this mess? Hold at this point waiting for recovery ? Consolidate into a different safer name? Any chance for these 3 with a 3-5yr time frame ? Or is it time to take the loss and high grade to something such as a goog ? Or Maybey crox in a different sector ? Or …hope for a aggressive pop at some point , then high grade later ? Your opinion is appreciated .

Q: Hi Team,
This is more of a general question/ observation of todays price action. On a very negative day yet again, across all major index's where it seemed almost everything is down, some of my worst performers which I thought would be down even more yet were actually positive on the day. In specific (RBLX,SHOP,SQ,TOI (almost NVDA...was positive for a while). Anyways, should we read much into this? Is this a sign that some of these beat down names may actually be flirting with bottom? Or is is just wild trading and a one off perhaps? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Shane.
