Q: I'm considering tax loss for FB and returning to it in a month.

It looks like its price is stabilizing now, but I imagine my crystal ball is working as well as anyone elses.

I'm a big fan of the stock but can't see how it can overcome such steady bad press.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks for all your support.

Update; I no longer have a loss on it.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,
Thanks for the great service Peter and Ryan. It is trying times for portfolios

We picked up AMZN (2%), KXS (1%), ZCH (2%) and GOOGL (1%) in the last few days. Also owned is BABA (3%), NVDA (2%). We have 25% in cash available. Is tech recommended to be 15% or 20% of a portfolio as of today with all the recent drops? I am going against the grain here for a bump up in 2019. Of AMZN, BABA, KXS, GOOGL, FB, MFST, BIDU, & PHO, and an outlier BYD.UN which 2-3 stocks are most appealing for a recovery?

Cheers
Jerry and Debbie

Q: Good day! I have all of my stocks in Canadian dollars, except one position in US dollars, Blackberry. Looking at the recent drop in Facebook, I am wondering if a switch to FB might provide more short-term (1-2 years) growth for this one position. Your thoughts?
Thank-you.

Q: While FB was plummeting I sold my shares and locked in some gains. I used the money to buy shares in Constellation Software. I believe CSU will recover faster and keep growing. I feel that with the news of a slower growing user base and users being on FB for less time, it will take the market a long time to regain it's confidence in the company. Do you agree. Or should I just get back in at this lower price?

Q: How much influence do the various market players have in manipulating a stock price? I see Facebook is down 20% pre-market but I question to what degree if any is this manipulated or is it a true reflection of the number of buyers and sellers? I've been burned once or twice selling on a drop only to see it rebound hard. After years of investing I'm more at peace with holding for the long term as for myself it's been a losing game in the short term trying to out game short term reactions.
