Investment Q&A

Q: Hello team,

Which one of these 3 would you average down if any:

PINS (down 48%)
BFLY (down 81%)
U (down 82%)

I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your reasons.

Have a good week! :)

Q: Can you please provide a list of 10 USD and 10 CAD stocks that you hate? Looking for overvalued / broken story / bad balance sheet / margin compression types of names to short that should be very weak during a sell-off. Preference towards names with liquid options markets if possible.

Thanks

Q: I own the following in my TFSA - LMND, NVCR, U, FSLY, TWLO. All are down significantly and make up only a small percentage of the total TFSA. Because I can not take a tax loss, would you recommend leaving them tucked away for now? In other words, do any have good potential? Or would you recommend selling and investing elsewhere? Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys,

Thinking of cleaning house, do see any reason to keep these U:US, FOOD.CA, DOC.CA, AC.CA and DOC.CA.

thanks

Jim

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have a handful of losers that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Using your crystal ball, which of these would you continue to hold and which would you dump?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm trying to clean up my US Portfolio so that I'm at 20-25 equities total. Please advise which 20-25 companies you would keep for a 5-10+ hold with balance/diversification but also some growth in mind.

Q: I have held Unity and have a loss. What are its prospects? Should I hold or sell? Thank you

Q: Purchased U 189.00 per share, do you see any kind of a rebound or should I , hold or sell and accept the loss

Q: I currently have BBU, BBUC, BN, CRWD, LSPD, MSFT and U in my TFSA account. BN, CRWD and MSFT have shown good growth but I have losses in the other stocks. I will be investing $7000 in my TFSA for 2024. Would you suggest any changes to my current stock holdings? For my 2024 TFSA investment, would you suggest adding to one on my current stock holdings or investing in another stock such as LMN, AMZN or LMN? Thank you

Q: Hello, I am down 25%+ on all of these companies and looking to do some tax loss selling prior to yearend. Can you order these companies in terms of what you would sell first? Would you rank these companies as Sells or Holds (or even Buys)? I am a long term investor, not a trader, so I'm hesitant to sell only to rebuy later, or to average down. I have some ability to do a tax loss carry back to recoup some of my losses from prior years (plus minimize my 2023 taxes).

Q: Hi All at 5i!
I am significantly underwater in these stocks in my TFSA. Should I sell off the little I have left and redirect the funds. I don't need the money at the moment, but also don't want to throw away what is left. Do either of these have a significant future to warrant hanging on?? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hello 5i,
Given that interest rates appear to have peaked, please rank the above list for:
1. Growth only
2. Your buying preference.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello:
These are all underwater in US side of my TFSA. Please rate Sell, Hold or Buy.

What are a few nice growth opportunities on US side, looking 3-5 years minimum.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Everyone!
I have all of the above and am underwater on all but Nvee . I am cleaning up my portfolio. I am not in need of the money at the moment , but are any of the ones listed not worth keeping or do they have a good chance of recovery.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Do you feel these companies can become long term compounders? If so, which company do you feel has the better prospects of becoming a long term compounder?

Q: Hi Team,

Can you comment on the quarter, do we still like this company?

Q: Hello 5i,
Well over a year ago I made a note to look at these five stocks when interest rates peak and/or start to drop.
Recently I have heard commentary that the recent run up in price is largely short covering.
I'd love to hear your take.
Are any in this group investible yet and in what order would you buy them.
I have an above average risk tolerance.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Is Unity worth buying back in at these levels? Got a nice shoutout from Apple yesterday

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

Can you comment on the latest quarter and your current outlook?

Thanks!
