Q: Are there 2 or 3 Canadian & 2 or 3 US stocks you would be interested in buying in the current downturn?

Q: Hi Team,

What are the chances of these companies going bankrupt from 1 (highly unlikely) to 10 (highly likely).

Are either likely going to need to issue shares for funding?

Thanks

Q: These are companies that I’ve held small positions in, based on future potential as I could see their businesses being very relevant in the future. Would you consider them worth adding to, with the goal of long term (albeit higher risk) growth prospects?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm down considerably in these US stocks in a taxable account: APPS, DIS, DXCM, EXPI, FB, NET, NFLX, U, and UPST.

I would like to crystallize some losses.

Could you please suggest:

1. The stocks I should sell outright (and suggest a replacement);

2. The stocks I should sell and then re-buy in 30 days (and suggest a proxy); and

3. The stocks I should continue to hold.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as required.

Thank you for your valuable advice!

Q: Do you perceive that Generac is fully priced given, for instance, California’s drought and concomitant energy supply issues?

Q: I have been considering an investment in SYZ to replace my MAL shares .... After reading your report and previous answers it looks to me like I would be getting a company with revenue growth in 2022 of 43% and for 2023 of 80% while collecting a juicy close to 7% dividend .... But a couple of things give me pause .... First Simply Wall Street { link included at the end of the question } claims earnings will decrease by 32.4% per year for the next three years . I am having a hard time reconciling how how revenue will have those lofty growth numbers while simutaneously earnings will decline rather nastily ..... Could you explain please ? And comment on the other risk factors Simply Wall Street cites ? .... Also in another recent question 5I commented that SYZ was susceptible to both inflation and recession more than a list of other companies the member asked about ..... Could you elaborate on that thesis ? .....Thanks for your great service ......

Q: Hi Peter and team.
Significant losses in all of these over last 3-6 months. Would you bail out on any of them and what could I reinvest in 3 CDN and 3 US that have been similarly beaten down but have a better growth outlook ?
Personal account with a fair balance of 40% US securities currently.
Thanks for all the advice

Q: It looks to me that some good stocks are being thrownout because of fear if you agree which stocks are good buys,not only technologies but others too.

Q: Can you list some CAD companies that are down big right now and would be good long term positions?

Q: I'm down >50% on LMND in my TFSA account, and while the loss itself doesn't alarm me, I'm doubting the future potential of their business model - especially with rising rates. I'm considering selling this position and re-investing into another company that I'm also down significantly on (RDFN) but that I have higher conviction in. Would love to hear your thoughts? Thank you.
