Q: Good morning Ryan, Peter, and Team,

These are some of the stocks in my "growth" basket that have been most decimated in recent weeks. In which order might you sell, or would you suggest staying the course at this stage, given the dramatic share price drops? If selling, where might you move some of the cash for a (hopeful) rebound potential over the next six months? Thanks. Brad

Q: I'm thinking of a Covered Call strategy on dividend paying US stocks. I know the dividends are treated differently in Canada, but I wanted stocks that offered weekly call options.

Are there any suggestions you have?

Q: I’m short on consumer defensive stocks and can’t help but to think that even during challenging financial times ahead, that alcohol sales will continue to do reasonably well. Would you think that SAM has strong potential as a long term hold? Thanks very much.

Q: Related to Kevin's question... I own U, CRWD and NVDA in a TFSA and can't capture a tax loss if I were to sell U (I'm down significantly on the position). Would you suggest continuing to hold U in a registered account or selling and moving on to something else (likely increase NVDA holdings)?

Q: Could you please clarify your recent response to Greg on Unity. When you say
"A better market would see this stock rise sharply, but we would be more inclined to be on the sidelines after this report. It was just not good. "
Is this a suggestion to sell an existing position ( registered or non-registered account) ? Or, are you merely suggesting not to buy or add to an existing position at this point ?
Thank you.

Q: Hi! After this quarter would you sell Unity for a tax loss? Two other growth stocks I own are Crowdstrike and Nvidia. Which stock would you buy with Unity proceeds? Crowdstrike or Nvidia?
My thinking is getting back in at Unity at a later time.

Thanks
Kevin

Q: Hello 5i,
I am looking for income and found these two. I am up with BAC and PRMW and would sell these and buy ICHR and IEP. I know there is no comparison but would be fine with the change for income. I am 76 with a good pension and a balanced portfolio value investor in all sectors. I also have covered call ETF's ZWC, ZWE, ZWH, ZWT, HDIV AND HYLD. The other forty-two stocks are blue chip equities in all 11 sectors with ten ETF's doing well with ZAG to balance it all. I am not using the principal and reinvesting excess dividends and using some for travel. Is there a downside to selling BAC and PRMW and buying ICHR and IEP or is that too excessive with the covered call ETF's now in play? Please take as many credits as needed.
Stanley
