Investment Q&A

Q: Hi! Doing some cleaning up and wondering if these are buy, sell, or hold. In reference to Shane's comments I also agree that it wasn't too long ago that so many advisors were recommending growth stocks at lofty prices. Having always been a more of a value investor I dipped my toes, but am feeling like I'd be too scared to ever enter any kind of a growth stock again. I know if interest rates peak you feel these can do well again but only time will tell and many investors have lost lots of money on the high growth names like in Cathy Wood's funds. Happy to hold any of these names if there could ever be a turn around. Thank you!

Q: I need more exposure to health care as well as small caps so I have been investigaring NBLY. I assume Neighboorly is considered health care and not consumer staples? There seems to be an investment company, I believe it is PCP, that has over 50 per cent of the shares. Is that a good or bad and why? Obviously I am a retail investor so liquidity is not a big issue since I won't need to trade large blocks of shares. But does a small float, assuming PCP does not intend to sell shares, create a more volatile share price? I don't mind volatility as long as the trend is up and to the right. Apparently they raised money in secondary offerings in the high $20's. That means that people supposedly far smarter than me thought Neighboorly is worth more than it's current share price. Should I take comfort in that?

Q: Converge has had quite a significant drop recently and reached a new 52 week low.
What are the reasons for this drop? Should I continue to watch before I add more to my still "green" position?
Thanks for your help

Q: YTD: CSU -20%, NVDA -52%, MSFT - 33%, AMD -57%, AAPL - 22%.

These five were a big part of my best year in '21 and they're a big part of my worst ever year ion '22. So it goes. Having stubbornly ridden them down, not wanting to have locked in a loss, do I assume correctly that you still like all these names and would advise hanging in for the rebound?

Q: Hi Team,
EGLX is now 0.3% of my portfolio down 88%. I want to either sell it and use the funds in existing positions or pump more money into it. Sell or add?

Q: High growth stocks. A recent NP piece by Peter H. advised investors consider these vs. conservative picks coming out of a bear market. "Stocks that used to be 50X sales are now 3X sales and still growing at 50%+...a Bloomberg screen shows 982 companies with 50% sales growth in the next year."
