Investment Q&A

Q: I have two questions re: tax loss selling. I have a three year old gain that I can offset by selling the above holdings.

1. First please help me with the math. If I buy a stock for $100, sell it for $90, I have a loss of $10 which would mean I can expect a $2.50 tax loss at a 25% rate. Does this mean that if I wanted to buy the stock back after 30 days, I would only be better off if I buy it back at less than 92.50 per share? Do you have a threshold whereby you must be down by a certain amount to justify a tax loss sale? e.g. 20%? Unless of course you are walking away from a company.

2. Which of the companies listed would you consider buying back after 30 days? I have too many holdings as it is so may just let them all go unless something is particularly interesting. I am overweight technology, underweight everything else but otherwise have a broad mix of funds and stocks.

Q: Please comment on the latest quarterly results. Buy, Hold, Sell?

Q: Hi 5i
Thoughts on TEAM? Would you put it on watch...It's not one of my finest and with a tech heavy weight could provide funds for another name.
Thanks

Q: How would you rank the following Ai-related companies (best first) with an outlook of at least a year or two?

VRT, SMCI, DELL, ANET, MU, MRVL, AMAT, QCOM, AVGO, IFNNY, ON, TEAM

Q: Can I please get your thoughts and opinion about selling a position in TEAM to initiate a new position in TSLA for a long term hold?

Thanks, hopefully a million:)

Q: Please comment on ESTC most recent earnings. Thank you.

Q: Could you comment on earnings and the changes in management. Should I continue to hold or are there better opportunities elsewhere? Thank you

Q: Hello 5i!

What is your is your take on PINS, TEAM and LSPD? Would you be buyer? How would you rank them?

All 3 had good earnings beating estimates but put in dog house for lower projections than anticipated.

Thank you

Q: Can you please comment on the recent earnings, today's drop, and your views of it moving forward (buy, sell, hold). Thanks so much!

Q: Please rate these companies from best to worse. Are there any that you would add to? Are any outright sells?

Q: Hello, I am down 25%+ on all of these companies and looking to do some tax loss selling prior to yearend. Can you order these companies in terms of what you would sell first? Would you rank these companies as Sells or Holds (or even Buys)? I am a long term investor, not a trader, so I'm hesitant to sell only to rebuy later, or to average down. I have some ability to do a tax loss carry back to recoup some of my losses from prior years (plus minimize my 2023 taxes).

Q: Hello:
These are all underwater in US side of my TFSA. Please rate Sell, Hold or Buy.

What are a few nice growth opportunities on US side, looking 3-5 years minimum.

Thank you!

Q: TEAM has a lot of people selling. I am still hanging on to it, but due to the amount of people selling, I think most people sell and buy a stock with more up side i.e. Alphabet, NVDA, MSFT, etc. which in the long run will probably be a better move than waiting for TEAM to bottom out and recover. What is your take on this? Thanks again.

Q: Your comments on earnings? Is TEAM still a buy, sell or hold? It is getting hit after hours. Thanks.

Q: Hi Everyone!
I have all of the above and am underwater on all but Nvee . I am cleaning up my portfolio. I am not in need of the money at the moment , but are any of the ones listed not worth keeping or do they have a good chance of recovery.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Hi, could you please comment on TEAM earnings and outlook? Would you hold, buy, or sell? Thanks.

Q: Hi All at 5i! I own both of these stocks and now having broken even I would like to sell them. Do you think they have strong potential growth?? If so I may reconsider. If not, could you suggest some good solid US alternatives … not necessarily proxies.
Thank you,
Tamara

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm looking to sell the following 12 stocks in my cash account to crystallize some losses in anticipation of better buying opportunities in the fall: BNTX, CAE, CHTR, CIEN, CJT, CTS, DIS, FNF, GNRC, HAS, TEAM, and YETI.

For each of these stocks, could you please indicate: HOLD; SELL; or SELL + RE-BUY (with suggested proxy).

Feel free to deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: TEAM Down for a long time.

Sell and replace with?

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.
