Have an 18 year old who has a little money set aside ($5,000) in a TFSA earning next to nothing. Can you please recommend 4 or 5 good growth names for long term hold. And would you think TOU is a good choice to include?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: I have been holding this stock since Feb 2020 and am in a loss position. Would this stock be a worthwhile hold?

Q: I'm in the process of divesting about half of my investment holdings (basically everything in my and my wife's TFSA) and using the cash towards a downpayment on a home. Everything in the RRSPs will remain. This leaves me with basically 1/2 of the investments I used to have (i.e. 10 positions instead of 20).

If not for the downpayment, I would have kept the money invested in the stocks I've purchased in the TFSA and am fairly diversified. But now that i'm selling everything in the TSFA, I'm really not diversified anymore.

What's the better play? Sell some of my existing positions in the RRSP and buy back into the positions I sold from the TSFA so I'm back to being fully diversified? Or slowly buy back the positions I sold in the TFSA and slowly get diversified again? I figure it will take at least 5 years to get my investable cash in the TSFA back to where they are now.

Q: LSPD has issued a response to the short attack:

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2021/09/29/lightspeed-comments-on-short-seller-report

I would be very reluctant to sell shares in LSPD and more inclined to purchase more. Like previous short attacks on high growth companies like SHOP and NVDA, I'm quite sure this one will prove to be bogus and just another cynical attempt to profit from the resulting sell-off. In the case of SHOP and NVDA short attacks, the short-sellers who issued the reports even pledged to give lavish donations to charities if the stocks recovered (In the case of SHOP, $200,000 USD was pledged if it ever rose above $200!). Wouldn't we all love to buy SHOP for that price today?

My only question in all of this is whether there will ever be any regulatory control over short-attacks that can be proven to be opportunistic.

Q: I asked this last week but haven't seen a response yet, so ignore if the answer is pending. I hold these as a basket of spec stocks looking for extreme growth. I've done well with all but MTLO and I'm wondering if it still fits here or if I should let it go and roll into the remainder. Would you have a favorite one or two from this list? Any you would run away from?
