Q: The following are some of the companies I’ve lost money with and will sell for tax purposes. I am wondering what your opinion is re their repurchase as commented on below.

The following I don’t feel I need to buy back, unless you feel differently.
NFI, QST

The following I would like to buy back ASAP unless you feel otherwise. Considering the state of the market do you think I would need a proxy for the next 30 days?
CRWD, GSY, META, NVEI, ROKU, WELL

The following are stocks I would like to buy back but don’t see the urgency, considering how the market currently views these companies, notwithstanding their financial outlook.

Thank You.

Q: I have several small cap stocks which are significantly down in 2022. I need to harvest some tax losses. Can you rank these in on a scale of 1 to 10.....#1 being "Sell for sure", and #10 = "speculative hold for possible recovery".

Q: This fund was mentioned to me as alternative to bond etf , and i hold a position which is now down approx 8% but the dividends adjusted at 3.35 % have offset that somewhat.
I see previous questions on this etf resulted in your answers being negative due to no diversification and being a very small total dollars fund.
Should i take the loss and purchase something with better recovery potential such as a broader etf, or actual bank stocks as they provide reasonable valuation with better dividends?
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
O&G sector is taking a beating!
Is this downtrend going to be sustained or short lived?
What is your prediction going forward for the O&G sector in general? For the medium term, say one year.
Add to one's position or shed some or stay the course?
The perma oil bulls like Eric Nuttal are saying stay positive! Others especially Technical Analysts seem to be ringing warning bells.
Curious to know where you stand.
Many thanks.

Q: Greetings: On a few occasions, I can remember in an answer to a question it was stated that it is best if possible to avoid trading when the market first opens and 30 minutes before closing. Recently, it was stated that a lot of institutional and algorithmic trading is done in these time frames. Wouldn't that provide me with more liquidity, and in turn possible better purchase and sale prices? I cannot find the specific questions and answers, so if I am quoting you incorrectly, please excuse me. Please enlighten me on this subject. Also, could I get a link to Eric Nuttall's appearance on the money show on Dec 1. Thank you. BEN.

Q: I have an overweight in these 3 insurers, and think it might be wise to fix an underweight in CAD banks, by selling one of these and then adding to my banking exposure. Which one would you sell here (and why) and which Bank(s) would you add? I hold RY, CM, and BNS and was thinking of simply adding to my positions, but can be talked into something else here. Thanks
