Q: Hi Peter,

Nokia is getting hammered this morning for missing expectations. Do you see this as an opportunity to buy in at this price point or should I steer clear until the new CEO has had more time to make impact? Do you prefer Ericsson in light of their earnings report last week, both, or neither at current prices?

Best,

Curtis

Q: Hi,
Marvell announced today they will take over IPHI. As I hold IPHI, I would welcome you're thoughts on what you feel is the best course of action now. If you were holding this stock, would you continue to do so, or try to cash in on the jump that one might expect after such an announcement? Thanks for all your great advice!

Q: Hello,

Years ago, I used to swing trade Bombardier; recently, I looked up the ticker and was quite surprised to see it at ~$0.30 CND. Well, I am not considering betting the farm, I was wondering if this company is at risk of being delisted or considering a reverse stock split, of which I am not a fan. Or have they received a sweetheart government contract to start producing respirators and vaccines ; ) jk

Seriously though, please advise if you would touch this company with the tip of a ten-foot pole, or stay clear of it like a long term care home in Quebec.

Thanks,

Q: Can you please provide an updated view on FSLY? I have ridden the rollercoaster back to where I started and would like some insight from you in order to help me make a decision to hold or sell. I am growth-focused and therefore not overly concerned with risk, but I don't want to continue holding it without a reasonable shot at recovering the growth it has shown earlier this year. I believe that my portfolio is well diversified, including exposure to other stocks in FLSY's segment. Thanks.

Q: After scanning 5I questions for the best fit for my daughters LIRA which she will not need for 20 years and will not be contributing to it, we settled on VFV,VEE,and VUN. That leaves room for a tech ETF for the remaining. Considering:
XIT.TO but the MER is high at 0.61% vs. TEC.TO which is a TD ETF
product with an MER 0.35%. Are there any others to consider or which
would you choose and why?

Q: Good AM I wonder if there is any data / anecdotal background that 5D can provide surrounding tax loss selling? Is there a period, late Nov, early Dec in which the predominate amount of selling has occurred?

I bought SU a month ago and have kicked myself since for not factoring in tax loss selling season.

Q: Like an older Robin Hood I have been buying the fang stocks and selling covered call options since the Covid arrived. Well, not quire like the Robin Hood kids, I suppose. I have done quite well with this strategy. But, I have been worrying that the fang's are flying pretty high and might be ready for a fall. Especially with a volatile US election on the near horizon. I also wonder there might be a shift to value as the economy might start to kick in before too long. So, l am thinking about selling a lot of my Fang stocks before the election and waiting till after it is over and buy RSP, the equal weight S and P etf. Even if it doesn't work out as I have envisioned, this is pretty much the direction I had planned when l started buying and selling the tech stocks. I have always found it informative and usually profitable to get 5i's reaction to my plans
Thanks
