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: Hi, I sold GUD awhile for tax loss, and will sell WELL also for tax loss. It is my only stock in that sector 4%. My question is whether to buy back all in 30 days, change to another company after my sale, or purchase two stock for the Heath sector (Canadian market). I have no problems with risk with good management.
Could you name the two or three health companies you might prefer, thanks

Q: Hi Peter and staff,
Thanks for the great information that you guys provide.
These are the holdings in my wife's TFSA account. I have owned CNR since March of 2020 and have done quite well but I'm wondering if this stock has reached the top of the price range and it's time to move on. The average Price Target is $165. Do you think that CNR still has upside or can you name two stocks to replace it.

Thanks and have a great day
Joe

Q: Hi team,

What are your thoughts on these Canadian beat up tech cos (AT, WELL, WE, STC, CTS, SFTC)? How would you rank them in terms of quality and your favorites at current price?

I look at AT and 12x F22 ev to ebitda. That is 5x less than TTD!!! Seems insanely cheap.

CTS also seems to be out growing their peers and have an attractive 10.6x F22 ev to ebitda.

And WE has Bill Ackmans backing!

Q: Good Afternoon 5i Team,

I'm looking to increase my exposure to the healthcare sector in Canada and the US. Can you please recommend 2-4 companies in each country that you think are worth looking into?

Q: Your Portfolio Analyzer tells me that I need more 'Healthcare" since I only have UNH and Well. Can you suggest an addition?

It also noted that I have zero consumer defensive. Can you suggest two for this sector.

A further note was being over weight in Canada.

Thanks again! Dan

Q: As retirees with moderate risk tolerance, Telus is a 4% core holding in a mainly conservative dividend portfolio. We realize (and like) that Telus Health is a small part of the company. We are considering a 1% position in Well for diversification in Health sector, and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Is this an opportune time to buy, or does 5i expect tax loss selling to put more downward pressure as year-end approaches? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hi Team;
Aside from the recent weakness in tech growth stocks the last while , what is your take on Well? It has been consolidating/ weak for the last yr almost now . Do you see the consolidation as healthy after its quick run up in the stock after its ipo ? Or is there some other reason for the weakness ? You would think the pandemic would expose the need for telehealth and boosted up the need for healthcare in general. I would have expected Well to be a little stronger given that backdrop. What are your thoughts on the stock ? Do you consider it a potential multi bagger over the next 5yrs or so? If so is it a buy at todays share price? Thanks!
