Q: Market Call - David Driscoll - He said that at the top of the market (S&P 500) people were ready to pay 26 times earnings. $26.00 for every dollar of earnings - it is now 20 times earnings. He said that in the last big market correction, earnings went to 16 times earnings. That is what he is waiting for before he puts his money to work. Your take on this?
Thanks,

Q: I would like to get your general thoughts on dipping into margin at times such as these to chip away on the buy side wall markets are off all-time highs. Assuming margin ratios are kept reasonable, the investor understands the risks, and an effort is made to reduce them once markets froth again, would this be a reasonable (albeit inherently risky) way to potentially profit from a drawdown?

Q: I have sold AMZN and TTD to harvest a tax loss. I will buy both after 30 days. Can you suggest proxies for either or both of these or is it best to just wait it out.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can recommend some dividend paying companies with strong balance sheet, steady dividend increase and have not cut dividend in past. I am looking for names which have sold with general market and are at attractive valuations.

Q: In yesterday's question on Xebec I meant to make it a public question instead of a private one so please feel free to post. I read your answer to the other question that day and it answers mine very well. In it you mentioned the valuation gap between XBC and its peers. Could you name some of those peers. I am considering selling at least half my position in Xebec and purchasing something in the same space. Thanks.

Q: hi 5i. I usually like to sell in times like these, to lock in the capital loss. I pair trade immediately after the sell, to stay invested, usually. the list is of my losers right now. are there any on the list you would not sell now and pair trade? and, can you provide a recommendation for each for another stock to pair trade with ( I am thinking hut8 for hive, perhaps nuvei for something? dsg for something? or maybe one name can replace 1 or more of the names. I would then most likely buy back the stocks I sold after the month of waiting is over, to lock in the losses. your thoughts/expertise is always appreciated. cheers, chris

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks
