Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter,
I don’t have any investments in my portfolio in the emerging market, especially in China. Would you please recommend a few stocks and/or ETFs for 5 year or longer holds. If possible, please provide on each of your recommended investments an approximate price-entry point. In general, what percentage of my portfolio should be allocated for this market?

Thank you,
Roger

Q: Hi group I am out of credits...Hopefully you can give me some guidance on how to play China opening up from Covis restrictions. Commodities and oil seems to stand out if you agree what companies have the most potential upside. Also looks like big tech is another beneficiary if you agree what is your top picks in this sector as well. Thanks for your goodwill service it much appreciated

Q: hi,
can I get your thoughts on BABA for a long term hold. Obviously huge uncertainty re China government. but China markets down lots due to lockdowns etc. I was thinking BABA could be a good proxy for the Chinese markets.
And, if not BABA, do you have an ETF that you think would perform best with an uptick in the Chinese stock markets ( and is very liquid )
cheers, chris

Q: Hi! Doing some cleaning up and wondering if these are buy, sell, or hold. In reference to Shane's comments I also agree that it wasn't too long ago that so many advisors were recommending growth stocks at lofty prices. Having always been a more of a value investor I dipped my toes, but am feeling like I'd be too scared to ever enter any kind of a growth stock again. I know if interest rates peak you feel these can do well again but only time will tell and many investors have lost lots of money on the high growth names like in Cathy Wood's funds. Happy to hold any of these names if there could ever be a turn around. Thank you!

Q: I'm down 35% on ZEM & don't know whether I should sell or hang in there. With the increasing US $ & many emerging countries with debt in US $ will those markets continue to fall. I believe that 30% or so of ZEM is China based with Alibaba & Ten cent being larger %ages. These stocks continue to be out of favour in China & are dropping in New York as well. Your opinions are always appreciated.

Q: Good afternoon, I am down between 30% to 50% on BABA, SHOP and NVDA (over the last 6 months) and I'm considering averaging down on some or all if them, If you had to choose where to allocate your "average down" dollars what would be your first, second and third choices and why?
Many thanks
Tim

Q: I have a full position in AMZN as well as half positions in both SHOP and BABA (which actually began as full positions). I'm thinking I may have overdone it a bit in the on-line consumer shopping space. Would you continue to hold all of these and if not how would you suggest reducing my exposure?
Thanks

Q: Hi, Is it permitted to buy these adr (nio,baba,bp) in a tfsa or rrsp?
Thank you

Q: What are your thoughts on BABA short term. It seems to be so beaten up that any good news is pushing it up rapidly. How does it look on a valuation stand point if it ends up being a long term hold

Q: Hi Team,
Should these three Chinese's ADR stock delisted from U.S. exchanges by US Government, would the owner of these ADRs can move to Hong Kong and relisting in Hong Kong market ? Or just completely vanished !
I understand my question is properly not quite your expert area, but hope you can comment on it !
Thanks as Always,
Tak

Q: Hi Peter

I have question regarding the following list of “fallen angels”. These ten stocks have achieved significant drops in valuation since Dec. 31, 2020. Can you please rank these “fallen angels” in terms of the best risk-return profile over a five-to-ten-year hold? Everyone likes a bargain! Sometimes it is possible to survive a falling knife particularly if you use tungsten as a shield!

We cannot all be superman!

Q: Seems Putin has asked China for military and economic help and the US is going to tell China such action is crossing a red line. With this news, is it best to sell now rather waiting to see the out coming?......Yes, I know this is a predictive question but am seeking your take.......Thank....Tom

Q: Would you be agreeable to selling BABA for tax loss and replacing it with PINTEREST? Baba is cheap but the China problem does not look like ending any time soon and Pinterest also looks attractive. Thankyou If you have a better tech idea feel free to mention it.

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on these stocks for a 10 year hold. Thank you very much.

Q: Has Amazon’s online retail segment ever made a profit? Will it ever given its never-stopping investment into the future? If no prospect of profit, what’s the point of keeping on investing into the segment? Do you like its retail model - owning and selling goods? Isn’t Alibaba’s model better by only providing online retail space? Thanks. Liping

Q: After substantial declines in both stocks and being aware of political risk sentiments, which one of the two would be a better option currently?
Thank you!

Q: I am down 21% on BABA and even more down on UPST and AFRM. At this point, with a plan to hold for 3-5 years, would it make sense for me to sell all my BABA and invest in UPST and AFRM. Which of the 2 is expected to have a better upside in 3-5 years? Which of the 2 is riskier?

Q: What do you think about BABA?

It has fallen so much - do you think the new political risks are factored in? What are its growth prospects/valuation? Would you buy?

Q: Hi Peter and Team
I have two questions: (1) In your opinion based on both current environment and previous experience, what is the chance that BABA is delisted from the NYSE? (2) If that were to happen, what is the effect on current shareholders?
Thanks
Marc

Q: Hi Team;
My question is whether to keep on holding baba or not . It is held in a US cash account so selling would incure a 53% loss as of today. The reason I ask today is that there have been many quality names that have sold off a lot . Just wondering if a switch into a different , more convincing beat down name might be a good move at this point. Ideally I would like as much recovery upside as baba potentially would have in order to try to recover my losses. Which essentially would mean a double from here.
Any names you would endorse switching to that might potentially meet this criteria ? Or do I keep patience and hold. I am a long term investor typically (10yr timeframe or more before retirement ). Thanks

Shane
