Q: Portfolio Cleanup Part 12:
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: Hello Team,

Does any of the above garbage is worth keeping until the new year? Why? Bought them all at their highs, 3 years ago, and have lost 75-95% on each in a TFSA account. Was hoping that at least one of them would make me proud. What a mistake!

Would you put the proceed to FFH, or SHOP? Or would you suggest something else for a faster growth (yet somewhat safer, eg BLN). I am not hoping to make up for this disaster. It is just to invest for the long-term without losing what little is left of the original capital.

Have a good week everyone! :)

Q: Hi 5i Team - I hold shares in Enthusiast Gaming. Besides continuing to hold I would like to add another stock in the same space. I am looking to add Brag and Penn. Do you have a preference over these two. Also do have any other recommendations in the gaming and/or e-sports space, especially in the small and mid caps. Thanks.

Q: I am down on these stocks EGLX (-24%), AT (-28%), BRAG (-24%) and PINS (-23%).
These stocks are in a non-registered account.

I have two questions. First, are these stocks worth holding for a turnaround or just take the loss (and take advantage of the tax loss credit) and move on?

Second, if they are worth holding I might do a tax loss sell and buy after 30 days. I am not sure how to time that. Do it now or at the end of the year?

Thank you for your help and advice as always.

Q: Hi 5i,
Am I right in thinking that perhaps the market has decided that BRAG is the horse to back going forward and that EGLX isn't really in the race, or is that a too simplistic or short-sighted way to look at it, as between these two names?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm hoping you can 'unconfuse' me.
In answer to Bob's question about LUCK on June 25 you said you prefer EGLX and in answer to a question about BRAG on June 8 you discussed SCR. All the questions had to do with the recent change allowing single game betting. I had thought that EGLX and BRAG are gaming platforms and SCR and LUCK are betting platforms, and therefore serve totally different markets, so I don't understand why they are discussed in the same breath, and I also don't understand how the recent legislative change might benefit EGLX and BRAG, although I can readily see how it might be positive for SCR and LUCK.
Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Peter
