Investment Q&A

Q: Down significantly on these names, wondering at these level if you would still hold on for a better market, if so which ones or swap them out for other stocks that are down and may have a better chance to recover.

Q: Good morning Ryan, Peter, and Team,

These are some of the stocks in my "growth" basket that have been most decimated in recent weeks. In which order might you sell, or would you suggest staying the course at this stage, given the dramatic share price drops? If selling, where might you move some of the cash for a (hopeful) rebound potential over the next six months? Thanks. Brad

Q: Thoughts on these quarterly results? Do you still like the long term prospects of these three growth companies?

In general, what are your thoughts on holding growthier names in this current market? It just seems that the risk of holding these positions through earnings outweighs the benefits. For example, if a company meets expectations and maintains guidance, the stock barely moves. However, any miss or lower guidance and the stock easily gets crushed 30-50%, such as NFLX, FB, UPST, RBLX, COIN, etc... Seems a lot of companies are issuing lower guidance because of all the uncertainties. Wouldn't it be better or more prudent to just sell or maybe trim the positions to reflect these risks and re-enter later?

Other growth names I have on deck soon are GSY, WELL, AT, EGLX, LSPD, NVDA, APPS, and CRWD and I'm worried about how investors will react to earnings. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter
Can you explain why the stock has dropped like a rock after the release of its quarterly numbers

Q: Can you please comment on earnings for UPST, the 50% down day, and whether you still view it as a Risky but potent buy notwithstanding market backdrop.

Q: What would be a great entry price for Upst and Apps? Thanks

Q: Also Please comments on earnings for Upst and Apps.(I forgot to mention in my previous question)many thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Atz beat earnings and things appear to be going strong on all fronts for the business…yet the stock tanks some more today. Is this one of those disconnects where an investor should be buying more shares ?
Also …with the brutal tech selloff what are some of todays choices to buy for potential multi bagger over the next few years once the carnage stops? Thanks!

Q: Hi All at 5i! I am doing some tax loss selling to off set a capital gain. I am underwater on these three stocks and plan to sell them. After the appropriate waiting time would you buy any of these back?? Cheers, Tamara

Q: These 2 darlings are now ugly ducklings. Not long ago,Shop was the biggest company in Canada overtaking perrinnel leader,RY. Recent drastic drop from $2228 H to $658,1year Low.Any reasons for the 14% haircut today besides news that it is in talks to buy startup,Deliverr. Think market does not like this type of acquistion nowadays as it will likely increase its losses & prolong its plan to profitability in this market backdrop.Is this a entry point or more pain to come. Txs for u usual great services & views Is this an entry point for GSY which got hammered today too & trading near 1yr low.

Q: What is their balance sheet. Would you buy them today and in what order?

Thank you,
Milan

Q: I'm looking for tax-loss proxy suggestions for the above names. Thank you!

Q: Hi
What would be the catalysts needed to get Upstart's stock price to turn around? Could this double and in what time frame? Impossible question I know but if you don't mind taking an educated guess at it? Please don't tell me Elon Musk needs to buy it.
Thanks
Jeremy

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: I’m considering selling half of my UPST shares to buy NVEI. Do you think it’s a good idea? Please let me know your recommendation. Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on Wedbush’s downgrade of Upst and if their concerns are valid

Q: I have been watching UPST for quite a while, and I do own some (not a lot...yet). I notice that there has been consistent insider selling for quite a while, and can't help but wonder if this persistent selling (over months) is what is causing the stock to plummet. Does it suggest that there is a problem with the stock/company? I do understand there are many reasons for insiders to lighten up, even if the stock is solid, but the amount and persistence of the selling here does worry me. I'd like to get your impression of all the insider selling.

Q: Hello Peter
I have acuity , emerge, haivision and mcloud tech as tech stocks in my portfolio , all are down at this time . I am thinking of selling off and putting funds into goeasy and Upstart .What is your opinion . When people start to buy back into growth stocks which of these high tech will recover quicker .

Q: Moving money from a poor performer to a better performer, talking about AFRM and U - both I could not find in your database when I tried to search them. I was going to move them to more better performers in the case of CRWD and NVDA. That should be a better place. I am north of 70 so waiting 5 years for these 2 to recover may not be an option here. Another 2 that one day they are up 10% and the next day they are down 10% - CELH and UPST. Are there any issues that have surfaced lately about the four mentioned securities thanks

Q: Dear 5i Team,

If there was an option to totally liquidate all of the investments someone had and start with a clean slate, which 20 stocks US and Canada (10 each) would you recommend for a 10 year horizon?

Thank you for your advice as always,

Much appreciated.
