Q: Hi!
On Feb 17th, you were quite positive on Roku but today after terrible earnings you are not suggesting to add to positions. If this was a stock that was liked at 350 or higher, why is is not a screaming deal today? Has something fundamentally changed regarding this company and I would imagine that if you are recommending to a huge platform like this you have done the homework regarding this company that we lay people can't properly do. If you can please comment on the surprises you could not have anticipated it would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Q: My position in ROKU has decreased to less than 1% with the losses it has taken from the highs (bought at $353/share). Would you recommend adding to it at these levels? How expensive is it right now? Is it at the high end of its peers? I am comfortable with risk, is held within my TFSA, and looking 5+ years hold.

Q: For a 5 year hold, With the 23% drop in FB, is it better to sell at a loss in a registered account and buy stocks such as Roku, afrm, upst, Netflix, Shopify? These stocks are also down lately. Would you make the same decision for a 2 year hold?

Q: I'm thinking about taking a position in Roku, my thinking is their nice cash balance should limit the downside risk.
However I pause when I see it's trading around 10x P/S from the data you provide.
You had mentioned earlier that 10x P/S is at the high end of the range for high growth tech.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hi,

I currently own META and QCLN.
For long term hold, I'm thinking about switching these two into SMART stocks because they dropped more.

1) Do you think SMART stocks will outperform META and QCLN in the long term?
2) Do you think SMART stocks are cheap enough right now given almost 50% drops?

Thank you!

Q: Can you please explain your enthusiasm for ROKU? Every time I think of following your advice and buying I can’t help wondering how long it will be before Google and Amazon and the TV manufacturers squeeze ROKU out. I see it similarly to my reluctance to buy into Bombardier when hey were trying to manufacture jets…it seemed like only a matter of time before “the big boys” (Boeing and Airbus) squeezed them out of the business. And they did.

Q: Peter and Team. Happy New Year to you all. In December I engaged in some tax loss selling to lower my previous taxable gains on the above noted stocks. The 30 days has passed and I now plan to repurchase some of them to hold for 2 years or so. Can you please rank which of these you consider are the best to re-purchase in my non registered account. Are there any in this list which you suggest I should forgot about. Thanks for your great advise.
