Q: On the losing end of these 3 - V down 12%, SQ down 35% and TEAM down 6% - thinking of selling before year end to capture the tax losses and then re-purchasing after the 30 days - question - is this a good idea ? OR should I just cut my losses on these 3 and look for something else that might be more in line with a possible "recession" on the horizon.
thanks

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i!

been awhile since a question has been asked about CHRW. I am asking on behalf of my sister because she can enroll in a stock purchasing plan. Stocks will be purchased quarterly at a 15% discount. Having said that, I would like your opinion on the company and would like your thoughts on the balance sheet if it's worthwhile for her to enroll or not.

Thank you,

Rino

Q: Hello Peter
15% of my total portfolio are HQU shares. 18% of them are in non registered acct. and rest 82% are in TFSA & RRIF's accts. I am down on them 27%.
My question is: because most of my HQU shares are in registered accts. there is no tax losses on them, what would you do in this situation ,sell all and wait 30 days for repurchase if they go down or hold on to them for next couple of years.
thanks Andrew

Q: I have a position of about 4% in JNJ, which is still showing a return on investment of 52% even after last week's plunge. It's in a regular account so is liable for tax. In view of the current litigation concerns, would you recommend that I hang tight and see if it comes back, sell the lot and get out while I am ahead, or hedge and sell half. I am what most people would consider to be elderly - I don't have twenty years to wait for a recovery.

Q: I am trying to consolidate my U.S. TFSA into ETF's. On the tech side I own AMZN( nice profit) NVDA ( down 38%) and SPOT (down 4%) I am thinking of selling them and buying QQQ ETF instead.
On the financial side I own JPM (down 2.7%) V (down 1%) and SQ (down 6%) Thinking of selling these and buying DGRO ETF.
Your thoughts on this? Also if there are other ETF's that you think would be better for tech and financials, please let me know. Please deduct two credits if you deem it necessary.
Thanks for your great advice,
Jen

Q: I have just read about this company which trades on the Nasdaq.
see attached link:https://www.forbes.com/sites/afdhelaziz/2018/07/24/how-loop-industries-is-becoming-the-intel-inside-of-the-circular-plastics-economy/#6a5d3d1e1fd7.
I would be interested in hearing your views and whether or not you think this would be a good company to invest in. We know that we are drowning in plastic and this company seems to have the technology to do something about it.
Look forward to your comments.
