Investment Q&A

Q: Hello your thoughts on Guardant Health

Q: Good afternoon folks
BNTX has been doing very well as of late. I am up 35% ish. Also my entire health sector weighting is 6.85%...all US$...BNTX is 2% of this total. I also own MDT, DXCM, ZTS, GH, & VEEV. I have too many stocks in general throughout all sectors and am trying to sell off several slowly but surely. ( I have 66 stocks). The problem being I fall in love with each of them...(yes....very bad I know)...as they have mostly been carefully chosen and watched over almost every day.
My question is should I sell all of my BNTX or shave but sell any of the others mentioned above,
Thanks as always for your sound advice.

Q: Good morning
I hold ILMN.US GH.US and WELL.CA in healthcare in our various accounts. I’m looking for an additional healthcare stock (either Can. or US) to add to our TFSA’s. Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Regards
Les

Q: Hope you and yours have so far successfully avoiding covid-19.
Our portfolio is below
Cons Discr 5%: US:NIO, US:CELH
Cons Stpl 3.8% - US:COST
Energy 6.2%
Fin Svcs 38% - BNS, GSY, RY, SHOP, SLF, US:BAM, US:JPM, US:MCO, US:V
Health 4.2% - US:MDT
Ind 5.8% - US:RTX, CNR
Real Est 2.7% - US:RDFN
Tech 13.4%
Telcom 5.7%
Util 7.4%
Cash 8%

All the fin svcs are up nicely but V and BAM have only small gains. We like both but think we should reduce this overweight sector and re-balance among the Industrial, Health and Real Estate sectors.
We are down 41% on NIO and down 12% on CELH but we are prepared to wait unless you think their prospects aren’t worth the wait.
We’d appreciate your view on what to sell in fin svcs and what to buy in Ind, Health & Real Est.
Many, many thanks.

Q: I'm down ~15-20% on these names and contemplating a tax loss swap.
For each of these, do you think there are suitable proxies or are they are hard to replace?
For FLNT in particular, I'm considering dumping it all together, so a similarly battered small-cap name you think will perform better will work as well.
Finally, when it comes to tax-loss selling, do you have a rule of thumb on the % down a name should be before it makes sense, or it's generally situation dependant?

Q: I have similar weightings of MDB, DOCU, PAYC, CRWD, GH, NET, and TWLO in my US RRSP account. As per the recent report recommendation from 5i, I would like to rotate some of my lesser quality stocks into strong value stocks or ETFs. Can you suggest 2 of 3 of the above that you would recommend I reduce or sell out and what strong value plays would make sense to backfill them with? Am I interpreting the guidance of the report correctly? Thanks!!

Q: Top ten growth stocks in a TFSA for 10+ years? US and CND

(a) most at risk currently and
(b) great companies, even if currently expensive, that you have most conviction longer term.

Q: Markets are really backing off with Nasdaq down over 500 points Thursday afternoon. Looks like a good correction. Can you list your top 10 stocks (1 to 10) you would buy that seem to be set up for big rebounds.

Q: I currently have full positions in Nvidia and Guardant. Would you make any changes based on their latest quarter and forecasts?
Thank you

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
I own the four companies listed above and have been hearing some good things about 1Life healthcare(ONEM). How would you rank these five companies, mainly for growth but also how much confidence you might have in them.

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.

Q: Great article today re the "Phoenix Market". With that in mind, could you please suggest a US stock or two in each major industry sector that you feel is well positioned for growth in the next 5-10 years that you would nevertheless be comfortable stepping into today? (Even if just half a position) Please feel free to deduct the number of credits you deem appropriate.

Q: I am looking to rebalance my non-registered portfolio, which will mean taking capital gains and transfer to my TFSA. Today, my position is about equal in RY, BMO and CNR.

Which of the 3 non-registered stocks would you suggest selling?
What would you recommend buying for TFSA?
