Q: Hi ,
With wild swings up and down with high growth tech stocks, its my opinion that nothing has changed other than their markets caps and the price. In some cases they have even become cheaper then they were, EV/sales etc. I decided to hold on to my high growth stocks as the "underlying business" fundamentals have not changed. In some cases, they have even got better.
My portfolio is down roughly 40%, which i would consider quite normal during a pullback of this sorts.
Would you agree with my thinking ?
Thanks,

Q: The 2021 market hasn't been as fun the 2020 market, though I'm optimistic for a much improved remainder of 2021 - like 2020.

All things considered, if you were to pick up five stocks that have sold off (US/CDN) for a 5 year hold, what would they be?

Q: Hi Peter,

Would you put new money into this ETF ARKK following the recent sell-off? This ETF has >22% in three companies ; TSLA, SQ and ROKU all of which are quite volatile names so this ETF could go either way depending on the market, right? Looking for growth, medium to high risk, 5-10 years hold.

Thanks in advance.

Q: I’m adding to a partially established portfolio (growth-oriented, long-term). I’m interested both in taking advantage of the recent tech downturn (although not too much, as I’m already somewhat tech-heavy) and in further diversifying. Two questions:

1. I own partial positions in the following securities and am looking to add more. Could you rank them in your order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

WELL, SHOP, ATZ, STC, PHO, ENGH, KXS

2. I’m considering buying positions in the following new securities (not easily comparable, I know), with a view to diversity and growth, as well as US exposure. Could you rank them in order of preference for purchasing now? Any you’d avoid buying now?

BNS, SLF, PLC, MG, LAC, REAL, TFII, NVDA.US, ROKU.US, SQ.US

Thanks for your great work and please feel free to dock me for two questions.

Chris

Q: Hello Peter,
I have partial positions in AVLR and DXCM and have been considering AFRM and CRNC.
I think that the potential for CRNC is further on the time frame, while AFRM has to demonstrate its growth potential in the next couple of quarters. Dexcom has to confirm its growth whereas AVLR has to demonstrate that it can still grow to justify the valuation. What do you think?
Now I cannot own everything that is of interest and would like your opinion on whether I should in my portfolio have a full position in one of them or partial positions in two. And which one, or two would you suggest?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Looking for a Canadian company with great growth prospects that may be 'unloved' today. From a pure growth perspective, how would you rank the three for a new position today?

BBTV and REAL don't (yet) seem to be getting much mention on Reddit and other forums that I follow - indicating to me that there may be an opportunity on top of growing fundamentals?

Cam.
