Q: I bought NVIDIA years ago and have been considering trimming as I’m overweight, and now want to take advantage of stocks that have recently dropped. I am a long term investor focused on growth with medium-high risk, what 3-4 stocks Canadian and U.S. do you recommend to help compliment my holdings? My US holdings are GOOG, COST, ISRG, V and my CAD tech holdings are CSU, TOI, KXS, and STC.

Q: Earlier today you replied to a question with: "We are not big fans of averaging down, but if we were to do it BAM.A would likely be near the top of the list. When 'the market' brings down all stocks we are more comfortable buying more as opposed to when a company in isolation declines. We are not worrried about BAM getting through this market and/or upcoming recession. "

Please list 5 cad and 5 usd stocks that would be in your top list that would meet the above criteria.

Thx.

Q: SANM.US appears to be one of those under-the-radar tech companies that provides design and services to other companies rather than relying on retailing a product. Stock has been impervious to tech downturn so far. Can you provide a general comment on its key metrics mentioning comparables/competitors?

Q: Seeking alpha published an article today highlighting the HIT TO BOOK VALUE that will come when Q2 results are published in a month. They also advise not to panic and why.

As someone who saw a double drop to a 50% gain… I welcome the opportunity to buy Brk.b on sale.

My question is : Buy now? Or wait til Q2 results are published? Or maybe it doesn’t matter?

Many thanks as always.

Q: Hi,
I’m thinking of doing some tax loss selling. Can you suggest proxies for the following companies: Roku, Trade Desk, Twilio, Unity Software and Zoom Video.

Would you also be able to suggest an ETF that would serve as a proxie for all of them? I’m thinking of a high-growth-stock ETF like the SPYG.

Thanks

Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: I sold TTD and AMZN to realize a tax loss more than 30 days ago and I know that I can buy them back today with no issues. I bought ROKU and SHOP respectively as proxies a week later with the proceeds. They are both down (I guess things don't always work out!). The first question is can I sell both of these and claim a tax loss despite my not having owned them for 30 days?

Secondly, I am assuming you would recommend buying AMZN back (not that you don't like SHOP) but would you still re-purchase TTD? Does APPS offer a potentially better return? Or might you stay the course with ROKU? It appears to me that these companies are similar businesses.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i. I'm not sure if anyone has ever posed you a question about any of these companies, all of which have substantial operations in Canada.

Obviously, the expectation of continued interest rate hikes will have a strong negative effect on these companies' business this year. Taking a step back, though, do you see much to separate them as investments? For instance, is any of them materially more indebted than the others? Any thoughts you might have would be welcome.
