Q: Dear 5i,
Is it possible that SQUARE/BLOCK paid 10 times too much for AFTERPAY?
(Paid $29B, but value was $3B)
Assuming SQ did pay too much, how long would it take for the company to recover? Is this a broken stock, or company?
Happy holidays to all and thanks for all the great answers.

Q: Hello 5i
I want to re arrange my TFSA and seek your advice, I own a lot of Topicus in my TFSA and have been considering selling it to buy something else, for two reasons. First, it is close to CSU and I have a lot of that, too. so, I would like to delute that concentration. Also, I want a US company with high premiums that I can sell options on. My preference would be Nvidia. But, because Topicus has gone down so much, lately, I would like to get someting good that has gone down as much as it. Therefore I was looking mostly at Square. APPs might give me a faster ride. < in both directions, thought!> but Square might be more reliable for a retired person. Appreciate any suggestions and, as always, respect and value your judgement

Q: Hello,

I am down about 60% on NVEI which I hold in a non-registered account. Would it make sense to sell for tax loss purposes? If yes, what stock would you suggest I invest the sale proceeds in, in the event there is a bounce in the market in January? I have a 3-5 year time horizon.

Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Looking for guidance on US holdings in a non registered account. My feeling from following your questions is that the US market would likely do well next year or 2 and that I should not invest 100% in Canada. Can you list 5 US securities that you see as good growth for next 2-3 years holding ?
Thanks for excellent guidance

Q: I am looking to offset some capital gains received this year from PEO and PHO (thanks!). Currently I have the following holdings in a loss position, in order of dollars down: TDOC, TV, XBC, HAL, XEG, NFI, SQ, TECK.B, XTC, WELL, ENGH, PLTR. I would need to sell the first six to fully offset the gain, or could sell more if using those in a smaller loss position. How would you rank these holdings in order of selling, and which of these would you look to buy back after 30 days (if any)? Note that these are held within a broad portfolio that I am also looking to consolidate.

Q: I have room for 1 full position in my US RRSP. I do not have exposure to US financials and was looking for your opinion for a relatively diversified US financial with the best prospects for CAGR over the next 3 to 5 years. I came up with Paypal, Square, MS, and JPM. I feel that Paypal (with it recent sell off) is the best option. What is your opinion?

Q: This a follow-up to our TFSA question dated August 24, 2021, and specifically relates to the 5i suggested list of 10 US stocks.

Of the 10, we have so far initiated positions in GRMN, LULU and REGN.

As we already have a substantial position in V (and MA), please suggest an alternative, perhaps in payment services, such SQ, AFRM or PYPL. Also, please suggest an entry point.

For the remainder, NVDA, DG, GOOG, JPM, CRWD and APPS, please rank them in terms of conviction and for each, suggest an entry point.

As always, thanks for the great advice!
