Q: I have these three stocks in my margin account currently at a loss. When does it make sense to realize the loss for tax loss selling and buy another proxy. I know most of tax loss selling usually happens later in the year, but does it ever make sense to do it earlier in the year if the stock is down? What would be good proxies for EGLX, DIS and APPS? Thanks!

Q: I've read the Nov. 4, 2021 report and all questions since. Given premium to peers in Nov report and its more than 50% decline, taking into consideration price changes since Nov in peers (KXS, DSG, SYZ), would you say the case is stronger on a relative basis today to consider TCS for a buy? If you ranked the 4 today where would you put TCS and if it's in the 3 or 4 position, what particular weaknesses are causing you to rank it lower? Thanks for all you do. John

Q: Good morning 5i,
I have a loss in Gild and have been waiting for a time to claim it and buy a replacement. It seems to me that the recent drop in Abbivie might provide that opportunity, unless there is something I don't see. Would you think that this would be the best opportunity in this field at the moment?
thanks as always for your great work

Q: Hi Peter,
Do you see anything "funny" about this redeemable reset preferred?
Current price is $21.98. Resets on 2022-09-30. Resets at 5YR + 2.92%. Currently the reset is then 2.83% + 2.92% = 5.75%. If PPL didn't redeem then you'd get a dividend rate of 6.55% based on the @21.98 price. If they do redeem then you get a $3.02 gain for 5 months.
Do I have my facts correct or am I missing a detail or two?

Q: Hi 5i Team -In a question recently asked you mentioned that Shopify is still not cheap. At what price could it be considered a decent valuation. Also in your answer to a previous question you mentioned Shopify has $6.7 Billion in cash. How much per share does this work out to be and is it a significant amount in this context. Do you see them deploying some of this cash to make an acquisition or even to buy back shares. As a summary, are the fundamentals much the same as they were a few months ago when Shopify's share price was much higher. Thank you.

Q: Is the sell off in industrial and multi-family Reits reached full on insanity levels? Seems massively over blown to me. Do folks actually think rates are going back to 1970’s levels (I don’t). Thanks
