Q: I don't own the stock, but I'm curious on your thoughts about Affirm releasing quarterly results while the market is open. Isn't this highly unusual?

Q: As we move into 2022 I find myself looking for long-term trends that I can believe in and consequently feel safe to invest in. It seems to me that:
1. FINTEC
2. Cyber security
3. Payments
are three such trends. I'm curious if you agree with my three choices and if you do could you suggest a couple of companies in each trend that would be your favourites. Finally, are there other viable long term trends that you think I have missed?

Q: For a 5 year hold, With the 23% drop in FB, is it better to sell at a loss in a registered account and buy stocks such as Roku, afrm, upst, Netflix, Shopify? These stocks are also down lately. Would you make the same decision for a 2 year hold?

Q: Looking to take advantage of the pullback in growth names. The names above are standing out to me as companies that have been beaten up and 'may' offer a good short term bounce as well as long term potential. Is this a buying opportunity for those listed above? Are there other names you would suggest and could you rank them please? I am a fairly aggressive long term investor with an otherwise diversified portfolio.

Q: I have TTD, PLTR, NVDA, PLTR, NVDA, CRWD, APPS, UCTT, CELH, AFRM, MTTR, UPST, VEEV, in my US account, and LSPD, SHOP, EGLX, TIXT in my Canadian (and holdings in other sectors, but these are the holdings in question). I don't need to sell anything, but don't have new funds to deploy in the low market. I had a lot of positions in tech going in and already thinking about consolidating the sector when the market turned. I wonder if you see anything that should be sold, and added to something else to maximize growth when the market turns good again, or if it is better not to shuffle at this point.
Q: On 5 Jan you responded to James that you had the view that AFRM was still fundamentally strong and was setting up for a potential rebound. Do you still feel this way? I see there are some legal issues surrounding this company now as well. I have a half position in this company, am normally a long term investor, but is it time to sell this and put that money into another company which has better bounce potential? Thanks again, Dan

Q: I am down 21% on BABA and even more down on UPST and AFRM. At this point, with a plan to hold for 3-5 years, would it make sense for me to sell all my BABA and invest in UPST and AFRM. Which of the 2 is expected to have a better upside in 3-5 years? Which of the 2 is riskier?

Q: Hello Peter,
I am leaning towards going all in with my borrowed chips for swing trades. This would be separate from my long term holdings. I would appreciate your opinion please.
Towards that objective, I have short listed the following:
AMAT, TER, ATVI, GNRC, COF, MS, BAC, LSPD, AFRM.
I think diversification does not matter for swing trades and, understanding that this is a crap shoot could you please suggest approx. 5-6 stocks, either from this list or others that you would suggest.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: I bought these (and others) for growth, and was doing well, but am now in the red on these holdings. I bought for a five-year hold, so don’t need to sell anything, but I would ask, do you see any that should be sold or any that I could be adding to for a January bounce? Thanks!

Q: Please rank the above securities in terms of compelling buys at today’s price.
If SOFI and AFRM are already owned, is buying into GSY too redundant, or complementary ?
Thank you

Q: I am debating which one of these to purchase, both are growing fast, neither are profitable. I am looking for a 5 year + investment. How would you compare these, what merits stand out for you?
