Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter, What do you think about Score now-a-days? I bought it from growth portfolio recommendation last year. I am down 75% from my buying price. This is .80% of my portfolio now. Should I just take the loss and move on. I am a Software Architect and recently went to a mobile conference and fortunately spoke to their SVP. He was saying pretty good things about their business and the team(his claim is his team is best in Canada after Google and Shopify). Anyways, I don't know, it is like asking barber if I need a haircut. I can hold on to this for 5 years as it is in My RRSP. But considering your business analysis do you think it is worth holding or should I just switch to something else? Your detailed analysis please.

Q: I am down approximately 40% on SCR, I realized there was risk going into this one so I wasn't blindsided by a downturn, just didn't expect it this quickly. I hold it in my TFSA so there are no advantages to a tax sell off I can see. I can afford to hold it longer term so am wondering if you think I should hold on, add or cut my losses.

Q: Hi Guys,

I own most of the companies covered in the 5i growth portfolio. Just wanted to know if you still like this and if the story remains intact or has gotten better/worse. The app is fantastic and it seems like they've got a nice brand, plenty of users, and growth ahead. However, I'm concerned about the company's ability to become profitable. Do you think these fears are overblown? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this as I'm debating about adding a half position to this in December when tax loss selling has abated.

Thanks,

Elliott
