Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm trying to figure out why you were recommending Unity to your readers when it was most overvalued and now that it has fallen, you are less upbeat on the name. While hindsight is always 20-20, it seems to me that your views should have been reversed (discouraging readers from buying a stock that had popped up so much so quickly months ago but now perhaps being more interested in the name at this lower valuation). Do you feel that you were in error when you suggested this name as a pick? It was clearly too frothy over the last 6 months to one year when it was being recommended yet this did not factor into your comments it seems.

Q: Watching these two companies putting in new 52 week lows today. I know that the financial sector is out of favour but when I consider the growth rate of these two names I am wanting to purchase them. AFRM just stated it will exceed 3rd quarter and y/e outlooks. Could you give update and thoughts on these. Relative to growth are they expensive?

Q: Hi 5i
We don't have any Canadian tech companies but lots of AAPL, GOOGL and NVDA. With current pullback, SHOP and XIT are down a lot (70% and 40% off highs) but CSU only about 15%. Would you buy CSU or XIT?
Thanks,
Greg

Q: Is there any particular news about why the Trade Desk (TTD) continues to decline? I thought the last quarter was quite strong. I also read there are rumors that Netlfix is considering ads which I would assume TTD would benefit greatly from. Can you comment on your thoughts moving forward.

Thanks for the fantastic service!

Q: What is your view on QYLD as a place to stash cash in the current market? Looking at the chart, although its unit value has dropped since inception, it seems to have held its value on a total return basis - would you agree? Any better recommendation?

Q: I remember when GUD went public you were in love with it, well maybe not the right choice of words. We know now what happened since. With PLTR, same kind of love at first, as per your current answers not so much. I worry this may become another GUD story. Do you like Peter Theil, and do you think he remains a good asset for PLTR. He is controversial, so that makes we worry. Your thoughts please .

Q: We have been on a bit of a wild ride as of late with our Communication names (certainly preferred Roku nearing $500 and AT around $30).

Currently we are down 73% on AT, 66% on PINS, 64% on ROKU, 55% on EGLX and 18% on TTWO.

Essentially just wanting to confirm that you would not consider averaging down on any of these names at present given a lack of positive momentum. We have the names in a TFSA and have 5+ years and high risk tolerance. Of these names, what would have on watch to slowly add to and what would you sell?

Thank you.

Q: I own both of these companies and like what I read about the future growth, I am underwater and fine with that.
Would you recommend buying in to reduce my cost base. It is a minor part of my portfolio so I am not risking a lot.
