Q: Hi.
I have a stock that I am wanting to sell that’s underwater. In order to make some income on the sale. Was thinking Sell call option. Can you explain the steps to execute this type of option strategy?

Also interested in steps to “Selling Puts” to buy equities.

Have been reading and watching videos on the strategies found them confusing (all the alternative strategies available) just want basic steps.
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
I own the following in a non registered account: SHOP TTD GSY HPS NVDA WELL KXS. I'm thinking of adding SCMI VRT AMD.
Could rank these ten stocks for growth over the next two-three years for an above average risk tolerance.
Thanks

Q: I currently have BBU, BBUC, BN, CRWD, LSPD, MSFT and U in my TFSA account. BN, CRWD and MSFT have shown good growth but I have losses in the other stocks. I will be investing $7000 in my TFSA for 2024. Would you suggest any changes to my current stock holdings? For my 2024 TFSA investment, would you suggest adding to one on my current stock holdings or investing in another stock such as LMN, AMZN or LMN? Thank you

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking at adding to one of my positions in my RRSP account. I have AAPL, MSFT and GOOG that I am thinking of adding to a full position. May I have your opinion as to which one of the three would be best to add to today.
Thanks,

Q: Dear 5i
Are smci and vrt different enough to own both in a TFSA ?
Also i was thinking of buying NVDA for one TFSA and AMD for the other TFSA as a way of not betting just on one or the other . Would you agree with this line of thinking or not ?
Thanks

Q: I recently transferred my employer TFSA account to my trading account, so I now manage my entire TFSA. I have many solid growth names, and have XIU and BNS as a dividend/diversification play.

I am looking for a solid set it and forget it Dividend play to DRIP, and have some share price appreciation for long term.

Would BAM or FTS be your top pick for this type of thing? Can you provide say 7 or 8 of your top picks for dividend growth, business development runway, and a higher dividend? I had considered growing XIU significantly to drip more, since its diversification almost guarantees the set it and forget side of things.

Thanks for all your recent help! I'm definitely ripping through some credits this month. ;)

Q: Hi 5i
What do you think of the short term and long term outlook for DOO after this mornings announcement of Bain capital reducing share ownership by 2M shares at $91....., I think the percentage reduction was from around 20.8 % to 18.8 %...
Should current share holders be worried .... does this drop represent an opportunity
Thx

Q: I sold SMCI in my TFSA the other day after the initial 30% boost, intending to buy it in my RRSP but got sidetracked and it has shot up some more. Still buyable? Or wait for a pull back? I’m also wondering if CELH is a hold or a buy. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

I've only owned ENPH for about 6 to 8 months but have been somewhat disappointed in the results. What do think of the company at this time and is it worth holding or should one think of moving on?

As an alternative, I'm considering NXT. What would you think about the switch?

It is for the growth portion of my portfolio.

Thank you!!

Q: Would there be a dilution in DOO after the Bain capital deal ? How much ? Yahoo finance listed the earning report date for CSU as March 6 2024, and Feb 6 2024 for TOI. Is there a mistake ? Or is CSU going to give out some more good news ?

Q: Peter et al:
I sure hear a lot on BNN and read in the G&M about small caps making a comeback. Think I heard the same thing last year at this time. Would you invest in small or mid caps or split it up to include both? If so for small would you choose IWN, IJR, or VIOO ? IWO has a good deal of unprofitable small growth companies, that is why I chose IWN as a contender, or is it the same. If your choice would be mid caps which of VO or IJH and why.
Thanks ben.
