Investment Q&A

Q: Due to interest rates, both GSY, AFRM and UPSThave taken a beating.

However you seem optimistic about GSY but not AFRM and UPST. What's the reason?

Do you see GSY doubling over the next 12 months.

I am thinking to sell my AFRM and UPST and buy GSY i stead.

Q: Hi- would welcome your take on the recent outperformance- it has announced a deal to "off load" some of its loans. It also is an AI play and this is apparently gaining traction.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: I hold the following in loss positions and need to raise some money and sell 2 of these dogs. In the past I have sold my winners hoping for recovery on the losers but I am trying to fight the psychology of that tendency. Could you rank these in with the 1st ranked being the highest conviction sell. Also, if inclined perhaps you could comment and provide your perspective on this most annoying human trait. John

Q: Its pretty obvious that AI is going to be a big investment thesis this year and likely for a number of years. It looks like it will be very disruptive, which will create investment opportunities. With that will come hype and promotion of low quality companies that will get propped up in the wave of AI. Like crypto, NFT's, etc etc I think AI will probably be the next craze, and a lot of money will be made and lost. But so far the only recommendations I'm reading about are mega caps like Nvidia, Apple, GOOG which can do well but they aren't going to be multibaggers. Do you have any insight into smaller companies that may benefit most from this AI boom? Looking for game changing smaller companies that have the best chance at multibagger gains? Thx

Q: What is your long term view on these two companies? Is their structure, management, and financial condition such that holding on to them makes sense?
Do you have replacement suggestions that will likely surge ahead in more promising market conditions? Thank you.

Q: I’m invested for the long term. Do you view any of these names as no longer holding any long term potential?
Thanks

Q: What impact if any will the closure of SVB Financial have on UPST? Further, what do you think is the likelihood of a business failure for UPST?

Q: I am currently down significantly on APPS, UPST, LSPD. In current market would you Add, Hold or Sell these companies.

Q: Hello,

I have small positions in these 6 stocks, all in the red - MTCH, ROKU, GNRC are in registered accounts, RBLX, UPST, ZM in non-registered. I don't find it easy to sell any stocks but in the spirit of 'pulling weeds', can I get your opinion on which of these, if any, you would sell. Any that might be worth adding to at their current valuation?

Thank you for your insights, Doris

Q: Hi Guys,

The above companies are well below water, I have a 3 year window before needing to sell anything, please advised!
Should I sell, I would be purchasing companies like td, kxs, doo.
Thanks

Q: What is the reason for upstand large sell off after the strong rally last week?

Q: UPST has had a nice pop in the new year. Do you feel it offers a compelling value at current levels given it's growth prospects, or has a lot of the shine been priced out?

Q: Hello,

Are there any US or Canadian companies you see as attractive opportunities for medium to short-term option plays? Short-term being less than a year (3-6 months, medium-term being 1-2 years. I understand these short-term price changes can really be a toss-up, but am cautiously optimistic about the market pricing in current fears and moving upwards over the next year.

Also, am wondering if this specifically would be attractive to you: GOOGL $1.81 @ 110 Strike April 21 Expiration

Q: What would be your pick for the most oversold stock that one could put in a registered account with potential for a double in next 2 years

Q: Over the past two years with the downturn of the market, I am down significantly with majority of these holdings in various accounts. I have a long-term 10+ year outlook, so looking to see if you feel any of these can be sold off given the outlook, management of the company? If so, what are your recommendations for a growth investor in either CAD/US stock options?

Thanks!!

Q: The following are some of the companies I’ve lost money with and will sell for tax purposes. I am wondering what your opinion is re their repurchase as commented on below.

The following I don’t feel I need to buy back, unless you feel differently.
NFI, QST

The following I would like to buy back ASAP unless you feel otherwise. Considering the state of the market do you think I would need a proxy for the next 30 days?
CRWD, GSY, META, NVEI, ROKU, WELL

The following are stocks I would like to buy back but don’t see the urgency, considering how the market currently views these companies, notwithstanding their financial outlook.
COIN, LSPD (I already own SHOP), U, UPST

Thank You.

Q: These are my candidates for tax loss selling. As a proxy for OKTA I intend to add to my existing position in CRWD, would you agree with that strategy? As for the other 3, I do not intend to buy proxies however I would consider repurchasing after 30 days. Do you suggest proxies for these 3? Also, would you repurchase. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,
I own all the above stocks and have ridden them up and down in this market, so my risk tolerance is fairly high.
Could rank them for future growth and survivability? Also, If I were to consolidate the five into two or three what might you recommend?
Thank you
