Q: Portfolio Cleanup Part 6:
I'm embarrassed to admit that I am down 50% or more (!) on the above.......
Are there any with good rebound potential that are worth holding on to? Can you provide a short reason why for each. Thanks

Q: I would like to do some tax loss selling and was wondering if you might be able to rank RBLX, SQ, TOY, GH, OVV, and COW in order from those with the least potential to recover over the next year, to the most potential. I appreciated your help last year on the same topic. If I were to sell them all, are there any you would consider buying back after 30 days? Thanks.

Q: HI folks
Sadly, I am down on all of these somewhere between 60 to 95%!!! They mostly but not all started out as somewhat small positions 2 to 4 years ago! I have time to wait longer but: 1)are there any that are absolute failures and therefore should be sold. 2) Would you please rate the selIs from 1 to 10 ..10 being the absolute SELL. 3)How many years should I give these? (tough to answer but just a guess). I will not get much at all for any of them! Please take as many credits as you see fit.
Much Thanks and happy Family weekend

Q: Long investor trying my best to hang in there in with some of my dog stocks. Down significantly in Matterport 85%. Guardant Health 29%. Canada Goose 45%. Inmode 40%. Southwest Airlines 40%. Viemed 32%.
My 5i membership has been a stalwart of sound reason over the years, and I’ve appreciated your take on some companies that nose dive, but you feel are worthy of hanging onto, even if it takes a year or more. (ROKU and PINS spring to mind). With some potential tax loss harvesting coming up, which of the following would you think could be a re-buy, and which could be saluted and sent off to oblivion after the sale? I’m consigned now to doing either.

Q: Hi 5i,

For Guardant Health (GH) would you recommend holding or selling at this time?

If selling is your recommendation please provide 5 US healthcare stocks that have good prospects in the near to long term.

Thank you.

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?

Q: Hello
I’ve held Guardant Health in a loss position for too long in a TFSA account. Would you please suggest several possible replacements in the small to mid cap space.
Thank you

Q: This company's stock price has taken a bigger hit than other high growth healthcare names. What's the reason for this and is it still a company with good long term potential? Are there other small cap US healthcare companies that may be undervalued that you prefer to this one?

Q: I am down more than 50% on CRWD.US, ROKU.US, and GH.US in my RRIF and should have been paying more attention as they kept getting lower.

Is there any hope for a distinct short term (1 year) revival, or would a better plan be to sell all/any of them and invest in something with momentum.

Suggestions are welcome.

Q: Over the past two years with the downturn of the market, I am down significantly with majority of these holdings in various accounts. I have a long-term 10+ year outlook, so looking to see if you feel any of these can be sold off given the outlook, management of the company? If so, what are your recommendations for a growth investor in either CAD/US stock options?

Thanks!!

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,

I just read a negative research report on Guardant Health in Seeking Alpha, suggesting it may not be returning to its growth premium anytime soon. If you were to have a change of mind on seeing it as a HOLD, can you suggest a few compelling replacements from your current US high-growth list of favourites (within or outside of this sector)? Thanks, Brad

Q: Hi there,

I’ve often heard that a handful of stocks can provide life changing returns. If you had to pick 5 (or more) that could be life changing, which would they be in preferential order?

Thanks!
