Q: My investment is down by about 25% and I am inclined to take a loss for tax purposes. When does the company next report? If it were you, would you wait for that before selling? Do you foresee any other catalyst that would change the fortunes for the share price in the next 30 days? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Similar question for both these stocks that you have liked or still like. Both have pulled back after making strong gains. Is there still momentum? How were the last qtrs? Should one buy the dip and get a fuller position in either of these or just hold?

Q: Hello, I want to sell ISRG for tax-loss reasons and buy it back after 30 days (I am about 20% down). I just saw that their next earnings call is Oct. 21st. Do you know enough about their progress this year to figure out if there is a good chance their 3rd Q is going to be great and therefore I should wait after Oct. 21st, or should I move to sell now? Thanks!

Q: Could I have three US Healthcare names you recommend today please.
Many thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,

I have been purchasing ISRG on its' slide, taking advantage of lower price points then stopping a few months ago at 1/2 a position.

You provided some comment on the company last week, and I would like to follow up

- below what price do you view ISRG stock as a clear buy opportunity?
- would you buy in small bites if this decline continues or at this point hold until something catalyzes the stocks rise?
- what are the factors causing the continued downward drift at this time?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: Hey everyone, I have a nice amount in my TFSA account. What I’m trying to do is grow the account over time, let’s say a 25yr time period as I don’t need the money. With your crystal ball in hand and a mindset of holding forever what twenty companies would you buy today? Companies can be anywhere in the world and be in any sector but they need to trade on a North American exchange. Appreciate you playing along.

Q: Hi there!

What would be, in your opinion, your top 5 high-conviction growth stocks in the Canadian market — and in the U.S. market — for the next 10 years, ranked in order?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Jacques IDS

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.
