Link to "The Stock Market is still dangerously bubbly"

I have been a blue chip dividend investor for almost 2 decades and have been more recently challenged to incorporate "growth stocks" and don't have a feel for this sector at all.

Please provide the 5i response or rebuttal to the bubbly status of the market?

Do larger growth stocks example, Googl, apple, Microsoft and amazon. represent a safety over the "average" growth stock?

thanks

Ernie

Q: I have sold AMZN and TTD to harvest a tax loss. I will buy both after 30 days. Can you suggest proxies for either or both of these or is it best to just wait it out.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I know you don't have a crystal ball, but one analyst yesterday says sell SHOP with a US$400 target and a two year runway to better days and another today gives them a US$1000 target with this being a short blip.

In a non-reg account, would you sell for the loss? What would be your 30 day replacement? What would you suggest in a registered account?

Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on AMZN earnings? And is it a buy, hold or sell? Thank you.

Q: I have a full position in AMZN as well as half positions in both SHOP and BABA (which actually began as full positions). I'm thinking I may have overdone it a bit in the on-line consumer shopping space. Would you continue to hold all of these and if not how would you suggest reducing my exposure?
Thanks

Q: Do you think the divergence between the two of these today tell us the chance of SHOP having put in a bottom is decent?

Q: In view of a upcoming possible recession I am considering switching Shop for Toi, and Amazon for Crwd for a 3 to 5 year hold ,
May I have your thoughts, please

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

I allocated almost same dollar amount in Meta (FB) (formerly known as Facebook), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), NVDA and others. I invested a bit heavily in tech stocks and got hammered. I was disappointed in the business model of Meta lately. Today after trading hours, Meta released earnings and the price jumped. I think this may be a good opportunity to sell tomorrow and switch to some non-tech sectors. How do you think? What one or two names would you recommend to invest now to diversify away from high growth stocks?

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Can you comment on Amazon taking another run at SHOP. This one seems more established than the last attempt to replicate. Also throwing it in free for Prime users could be appealing to new business owners. How concerning is this?

Q: Hi, could you please list some Canadian and U.S. technology stocks whose business model/ revenues / earnings are most resistant in a recession or growth slowdown? Thank you.

Q: Do you feel the bigger tech companies will do well or at least weather the storm during the next 6 to 18 months, given rising inflation and potential recession. Other than Google and Microsoft, what would be your top 5 tech names to buy today?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an estimate on when Shopify, Google and Amazon might do their stock splits. Also do you know of any other quality companies planning a share split. Thanks.

Q: following up on question/response about shop, you mention 'there has been a recent increase in announcements'. what were the main ones and how important were they?

Q: I need to lighten up on techy/growth stocks and replace with more defensive/value names. Of this list, are there any you would sell? If not, and if I wanted to sell something anyway, in what order would you suggest selling? Thank you.

Q: Good morning,
I want to harvest the tax loss on this one but don't want to miss the upside although the market reversal seems unlikely in the short term in this market. Thinking of LSPD as a temporary replacement or should I keep LSPD?
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi
In response to David's question today, you said that mega-cap tech is a sector that should perform well in recessionary environments. can you give some examples of stocks or ETFs. Also, you recommended consumer staples. Would you be comfortable buying consumer staples at these high prices?
thanks for your help

Q: Hi 5i!

Which one of the above six US equities would you top to a full weighting in an RRSP at current valuations for growth over a 10 year horizon?

Thanks,

Q: We are selling our house and will be renting a condo instead, so I’ll have 500k to put in the stock market. My current portfolio is mainly Canadian dividend stocks and bonds, providing me with plenty of retirement revenue. I am light on non-Canadian stocks and was looking at buying the above-mentioned stocks for a long term holding period (10+ years). Do you have issues with any of these stocks, and if so, what are those? I happen to be a customer/user of these companies, except for PFE. thanks,
