Q: I hold all these in my TFSA and they are all down considerably (ranging from -35% to-90%). I am wanting to clean some of these up. Are any of these worth keeping?
Thanks

Q: My son has a small portfolio consisting of two ETF’s and seven stocks (CN, AAXN, NVDA, CRWD, DDOG, DIS, TTWO). We have picked stocks that have good potential, but that are also fun for him to follow. He is using the ETF’s to give his portfolio some diversification with 20% in ZSP and 15% in XIT. He is investing for the long term. He now has some extra cash to buy another stock or two. Would you have some suggestions? We are also thinking of selling XIT and splitting the proceeds between CSU and maybe one other stock. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I would love to buy Booking or Live Nation but I cant pay more than they were trading at a year ago. There is still too much uncertainty. Are there any names that haven't fully recovered (and then some) that look interesting to you at this point? Thanks

Q: I would like to start a position in 2-3 companies that should have a nice boost as the travel industry resumes. It could be US or Canada. Can you suggest 4-5 to look at please?
Also, is there an etf that would embody my theme and would benefit as the industry comes back?
Thanks as always for your great advice.

Q: Could you please recommend a couple of replacement(s) for Great Cdn Gaming? It can be US or CDN and I'd like the replacement companies to have great management teams and be in the same sector. Companies in the leisure and entertainment space you think will come out of this crisis bigger and better. It doesn't necessarily have to be a casino company. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello 5i team
As a front line (nearly retired) physician, I recently received a Covid 19 immunization. It's difficult to express the REMARKABLE sense of gratitude and euphoria that I observed among everyone involved . Suddenly, we felt liberated from the danger of this scourge that we face daily. Our next exciting job is to immunize our fellow citizens as fast as humanly possible and as we do, this euphoria will spread to society at large.
After my immunization I bought a new car and we're booking our fall and winter travel plans. This manic behaviour, I believe, represents the tip of the iceberg for pent up demand which will be unleashed upon the world.
At the risk of being labelled a mercenary can you identify some sectors which are still beaten up and likely to surge-I'm thinking energy but other suggestions welcome (prefer etf's with a dividend to keep me invested until the recovery occurs-would supplement with high conviction stocks)
Thank you. As always, I value your opinions, Regards gary

Q: I am looking to begin to sell puts on the scarier parts of the US economy. Not the scariest, so no cruise lines, but airlines, entertainment, hospitality, automakers, restaurants would be fair game. I can't even look at Tesla and I know that LUV has been your preference among US airlines. Given that the chief criteria of this trade is that the company survive is LUV still your preferred recommendation among airlines? Can you recommend any other beaten down stocks in these sectors that you are reasonably sure will come through the other end of this, whenever that is. US listed companies only please due to option liquidity. Thank-you, once again, for all your sage advice!
