Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Looking at my health care basket, I have a couple of losers in it VEEV and VTRS.

I have had losers I regretted selling and losers I wish I had not wasted opportunity cost on.......I am fine doing either....Do you think the risk/reward of selling either or both of these to top up ABBV,PFE,SYK or JNJ would be a good move in the long run ignoring how many positions I have or should I hang on. If a sale is suggested which order would you top up the 4 stocks mentioned.

Thanks for all you do

Q: The above companies have all fallen below 1.5% of my portfolio and I am looking to do some cleaning up. Could I get an add/sell/hold recommendation on them please?
Thank you

Q: I hold TTD, NVDA, UCTT, VEEV, APPS abd AFRM in the USD section of my RRSP. TTD and NVDA are still green, the others are down, 30-50% with AFRM down 76%. Do you see any holdings that should be sold and added to the others?

Q: Hi. I still like both companies (veev,gh) but am going to sell for tax loss reasons and that they total between them 3% only of my portfolio. Am looking to consolidate into a single health care stock to go along with MDT which I already own in my portfolio. I like my positions to be at least 3% and not two smaller positions. Any suggestions. I was thinking ILMN. If you like ILMN please let me know why and what sets them apart. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
I was planning to buy abbivie for health care. But with the fall of veeva systems, i am thinking about going for it, instead. Do you see any problems with that?
Thanks

Q: Which stock would be a good proxy for VEEV for a tax loss? Would you repurchase or would you recommend another stock in the same sector?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Good day 5i,

I hold SEMR and VEEV and both reported recently. I would appreciate your analysis of their earnings reports as well as what you see going forward for both.

I have a long-term outlook and a high tolerance for volatility, if the growth story is intact.

Thank you for your insights.

Q: Your opinion on the latest quarter? Big drop Pre market.
Thank you

Q: WELL or VEEV, which stock has the most upside potential? High risk tolerance.

Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi Team, I am trying to decide on one of the listed stocks. could you rank in order that you feel has the best upside.

thanks Dave

Q: Hello 5i
I have owned RGEN for several years.
Could you tell me how you would rank it against its peers? Is there a name you prefer more and if so why?
Thank you so much!!

Q: I have some new money to invest in my TFSA. I am well diversified in my other accounts, and am now wondering what to add to my TFSA. I am a senior so I would say about a 5 year time frame that this would stay in the TFSA, maybe more.
Any suggestions you have would be helpful.
Thanks so much for your help in the past, it has always proved very lucrative.

Q: Hello 5i
I know that it is a good idea to either have a certain number of US stocks that are not represented in Canada, or an etf for the US market, in order to have a balanced portfolio. Fortunatly, or unfortunatly, I have both. And I am wondering whether I should either get rid of my stocks or get rid of my etf's. The above are the US stocks I hold. in pretty good percentages. If i were to hold only stocks what might you suggest to supplement these? I know that I am probably heavy in tech to really represent the US market and will probably have to trim here, maybe in percentages. any other suggestions appreciated. Most of these are held in tax sheltered accounts, so taxes shouldnt matter too much.
thanks as always

Q: I am down 25% on this investment. Wondering what your thoughts are in this market, and going forward. Hold on, or move on? TIA

Q: good evening,

I have tax losses that I can harvest on these 2 companies but, I don't want to miss the boat if the market turns. What are the best proxies you can recommend or should I hold?

Thanks!

Q: I have TTD, PLTR, NVDA, PLTR, NVDA, CRWD, APPS, UCTT, CELH, AFRM, MTTR, UPST, VEEV, in my US account, and LSPD, SHOP, EGLX, TIXT in my Canadian (and holdings in other sectors, but these are the holdings in question). I don't need to sell anything, but don't have new funds to deploy in the low market. I had a lot of positions in tech going in and already thinking about consolidating the sector when the market turned. I wonder if you see anything that should be sold, and added to something else to maximize growth when the market turns good again, or if it is better not to shuffle at this point.

Q: For the aggressive part of my portfolio I have 1 to 2 percent positions in TTd, crwd and unity. You mentioned these are still expensive and I was wondering about taking that 5 percent and allocating it to shopify now that it has been cut in half and it’s PE is in the 30’s? Could we still see the possibility for significant drawdowns on Veev and apps, or could one or both of those be options for a less aggressive play for some of that money as well? There always is the option to do nothing with the rest of my portfolio being balanced. These moves would all have no tax consequences being part of a registered plan. Thx as always

Q: Hi Team,
I am an aggressive investor, which paid off lovely in 2020, but now am being crushed. I hold the following stocks (with weightings in brackets) in total in my brokerage accounts. Could you have a quick look and tell me how this basket looks "In general"? And if you see this basket doing well over the longer term (say 5-10yr hold), pointing out any suggested changes you would make, if any are "sells" or worth switching out. Note that if I sell any GSY it would incur tax (the weighting is large because the position has grown and have been a firm believer in the company as its valuation still looks cheap and am collecting a nice div off it as well). I am 42yrs old so retirement is a ways away and my goal is maximum returns with reasonable risk until retirement. Please deduct credits as required. Thanks

Q: With the recent pullback, the following US tech stocks are all just above their 52 week low - DOCU, VEEV, ROKU, CRWD, APPS, PINS. Can you please put them in order (favourites 1st) which ones would you buy, and which ones would you pass on? Thx.

Q: Hi 5i team. Thanks for the great service over the years and looking forward to a great 2022!!

What would be your top 5 ranked stocks both US and Canada for growth in the next 5-10 years+ with strong balance sheets and strong management ?
