Review of Shopify Inc.

Q: Good morning 5i
I would like your advice on a covered call options strategy. To date I have been selling covered call options on stocks I already own, such as Nvidia, Meta, Google, Shopify, etc. I sell mostly three week to monthly expiry dates. I usual tend to buy back and roll out if the market price surpasses my strike price. ( which I have been doing more frequently, recently).

All of these stocks have very high embedded capital gains and i wouldn’t want to pay the tax if called away. So far buying back and rolling out has worked well, though.

But, I am looking at other strategies, such as buying two or three good stocks, such as amd , palientir, etc specifically to sell call options. Here being called away is not a problem, as one would have little capital gains tax and , say in the case of amd, wouldn’t miss losing it, since I hold Nvidia.

Another possibility is to sell call options on a relatively volatile etf, such as QQQ.

I highly appreciate your advice, as I do in all investing questions

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles

Q: Do any of these companies fwd P/E's or P/S's concern you at all vs their expected growth rates?

They range from 50x to 127x. I'm looking to increase positions in NBIS/SRAD/GENI so I'm thinking of trimming some of these higher valuation names to add to these lower position names. However, I don't want to trim these long term compounders if they still have legs, but at such high valuations, when does it make sense to trim a name like CRWD to add to NBIS currently? I understand that great companies generally have higher valuations for a reason and investors have to pay up for great long term compounders. Thank you!
