Q: Hi -

It's usually enough to read the answers to other questions, but thought I would finally ask one. I am down on the three companies above. I am relatively new to investing and started in 2021 at all time highs. Being new to the stock market, it was interesting to watch some of my shares go down but for most part I am confident they are good long term and it is much more fun watching them go back up! I'm about 10 years away from retirement and for the most part plan to hold long term. Would you consider any of these a sell (PARA?), and add any of the following today...AVGO, HD, SBUX, AAPL. What would a few of your highest conviction US companies (any sector) be if not adding to those mentioned (already own MSFT, GOOGL,V). If considered a hold, I do have some cash to add or start a new position. I've been watching CROX, but just not purchased yet.

Thank you! Always enjoy reading the questions and monthly report updates.

Q: What do you think about taking a position in this one in light of the buyout possibility? It has a high short interest at about 14% too so I’m wondering if that could cause a swift pop in the share price. Thanks.

Q: What is your opinion on this company and its future? Time to take my lumps and move on or is there a merger or anything else in the pipeline...potentially?
