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

Q: I have the following loss that I can claim as a tax loss- wef = 44% - usa=31% - shop=18% - meg=14% - lspd=16% - Kel=40% gud 30%. My question is there any of these stocks that have any chance they will recover before the 30 buy back period expires? I would hate to sell them and then watch them recover more that the loss that is claimable?- appreciate your thoughts

Q: Hello 5i
I own all of the companies noted. I'm wondering if there is excessive overlap here and if I should sell one or more in an effort to reduce overall holdings?
Thanks

Q: I'm 21 years old and am planning on making a TFSA portfolio of Canaidan companies (Mostly Blue-chip dividend paying stocks, IE, Banks, Telcos etc....) to buy and hold forever. I'm also planning on adding SHOPIFY in my TFSA and placing BABA in my RRSP. I was thinking XAW in RRSP as well top get american/international exposure, Just wondering your thoughts on this and any advice would be great. Also do you think it's a good idea to invest now or wait for a market correction or just avergae in over time in all of these companies.

Q: What would be a good company to buy shares in for a teenager for his first investment? It was mentioned before that it increases interest in investing if the teen knows about the company. I was thinking of Costco, Disney, Mcdonalds?
Would you be able to provide a top 3-4 names in Canada and 3-4 in the US as suggestions? Thanks

Q: just some back of the napkin calculations... assuming operating income hits the midpoint of SHOP's guidance ($32 million) and the number of shares outstanding is 113.14 million (according to scotia), wouldn't that give us an eps of 28 cents a share?

Yesterday, Thompson Reuters had a 2019 consensus of 68 cents a share and 96 cents for 2020.

Does the above jive with the info you have at your disposal / calculations?

Thanks.

John

Q: Good morning team 5i
All of these stocks are down. Setting aside sector weights and realizing I am asking for a "crystal ball" answer, which of the above do you think has the quickest (6 months to a year) upside? I have a bit of cash for this specific exercise. Much thanks as usual for all you do!
