Q: I have been investigating ESPORTS and some numbers are incredible. This seems to be another disruptive force poised for growth. The Patriots owner has just bought a team and even the Olympics are looking at it.
I see three ETF’s for esports. GAMR. Fidelity,79 holdings $95m AUM; ESPO. Vaneck, 25 holdings $13m AUM; NERD Quaterhill small new 25 holdings.
I am looking at a small position through my TFSA of 1.5 % of my total portfolio including RSP and cash accounts. Also considering adding 5% ( of the 1.5%) of TSGI ( their future is online sports gambling, not no/ slow grow poker) to round the theme.
What do you know of this industry? Would you recommend another approach? Any specific recommendations? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and Team,

I have been plucking the weeds and watering the flowers. These three are my biggest losers in a taxable account down between 20% to 30% and haven't been rallying as the others. Can you make the case for both buying and selling each of these? Thank you,

Wes

Q: Hi Gang, good news is I sold most of the above with gains except for COV and KXS, looking closer if I did not the losses would put me in big trouble, over 40% for most of them from the high, I know that 2018 was not a stellar year but I'm 65 years old and can't wait 5 years for these stocks to come back, do you have any thoughts on how to get out before a stock takes a 40% haircut, is a 8% or 10% stop rule help or perhaps farther out. Thanks Anthony

Q: My question revolves around Peter's webinar and the thought we should know when to sell our losers. I bought the above just before the decline last year. All outpaced (negatively)the market decline considerably. During the recent market rally 2 have not participated with the market, the others have basically market performed. Leaving the value at this point -23%. There have been some misses in the last reports for these companies. As an investor what am I looking for now to continue to hold these positions or be a seller.
Thank you,
Mike

Q: PBH, NFI, KXS, TSGI, GC, BNS, SIS, CCL and now TOY. Not good. It feels like, for some time now, a lot of risk but not the commensurate reward. Please comment.

Q: Sorry about this...but it's another TSGI question

If this was a brand new company that you were considering and you were making a decision to deploy based only on numbers (8x earnings, 5B debt, guidance where it is) BUT NOT based on past performance, analyst expectations or missed quarters what would your enthusiasm be like for buying? Does the price when weighed vs debt vs projected growth dictate a strong buy? Is growth not good for a company priced where it is or is growth "less than expected" and therefore viewed as bad?

Q: Am I missing something here or is it just the quirks of the market. TSGI has massive debt and missed some numbers but it goes up because " it's not as bad as some thought it could have been". GC does not have a long term problem, has solid growth metrics, is just getting started in Ontario also missed estimates and the price goes down. What's the rationale.

Q: Hi,

After earnings from both of these companies, would you add to tsgi? I am down 20% on tsgi and position is now .75% in portfolio, would you be comfortably topping back to 1.5-2%? would you initiate a new position in GC here? Would you own both companies or just choose one? Thanks!

Q: I struggle between trimming positions as they get too big in my portfolio, or letting them run. In the line of thinking to make above average returns, you have to have at least one multi bagger, I have held all the above into overweight positions, only to take it on the chin - the jury is still out on GC, but I'm expecting a rough day. Currently have PEO at 168% return, but I've held for years and I sleep well with this little company. Dont have a company specific question here, maybe a few thoughts on the balancing act between letting them run and trimming to appropriate size?

Q: Hi, i’am down approximately 30%, and 50%+ on wcp. At 30% I take a look to see if it is worth holding on or just switching.
My question is would you sell any of these 4 stocks or just hang-on? Also could you give 1 or 2 alternative replacement for each ?
Thanks
