Q: Hello, I have holdings that replicate the Balanced Equity portfolio with weightings being within about 1% for each stock based on the model portfolio. I have also aimed to hold a small number of stocks from the growth portfolio and currently have 1-2% for each of LSDP and WELL. I am considering adding 1-2% holding to SHOP, LSDP, WELL or adding 2% for TOI or DOL. I have a 20 year time frame.

I am leaning towards SHOP, TOI, LSDP for adding shares but am aware of my heavier weighting in the technology sector and am considering if Dolorama may be a good option at this time. With the war in the Ukraine and inflation, also based on my time frame, can you recommend which stocks you would suggest adding to of the ones listed at this time?

Q: Hi Team,
According to recent updates from the company, Well Health seems to be firing on all cylinders. I am trying to understand why it's sitting near year lows. It does not seem appropriate to me for investors to be selling it off like a speculative Tech name. Healthcare will always be needed, and Telehealth should keep advancing...and is in the very very early stages. Management has a stellar history, revenues are climbing rapidly with aquisitions; with all this in mind...is it time to buy more of this name? Or am I missing something here? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Growth focused investor, high tolerance for volitility, trade very little, seems buy and hold works much better for me, except in the above mentioned stocks. I'm down 50% or more in them all. Stocks are held in either TFSA or RRSP. Considering getting rid of one or all, reentering LSPD? If you were selling, what stocks and what order?

Q: I'm 50% down on both of these companies. I'm ready to throw in the towel on either if not both. Do you believe they will recover in the next 2 years? Would you rather sell one and buy the other, would you just hold for now, or would you sell both and buy something else? Take as many credits as needed. Thanks

Q: Hello, happy Canada to all. Currently building a moderate portfolio with the stocks above, all full positions except WSP, open to also taking on some more risk and buying into the negativity. Long runway of 5-10+ years. Am looking for 3 new options that would help achieve an overall 2.5-3% dividend yield (2 CAN and 1 US). And 3 growth options (2 CAN and 1 US). Please omit GSY, ENB, MG, TOI, and GOOG (I know, sorry) as these are also held in a separate account. Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Hi, I have very small positions in each of these. Do you think it makes sense to sell STC ANRG and WELL to add to DND and CTS ? I view them as «safer» compagnies if a recession comes and they have as much long term upside potential as the others. What are your thoughts ? Thank you.

Q: Hi , Peter & Team:

I'm in the process of selling some of the losers to offset the capital gain. Which of the above Co. may not rebound as well, that is the most likely to sell now, to the ones least likely to sell ( worth holding).
Take as many credit as you see fit. Thank you for all the great service and advice you have given through the year.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Looking to trim / take losses and reinvest for growth in a personal account. Both WELL and TDOC (my only Healthcare holdings) are significantly down. I don't need to take losses but would you suggest holding on or selling and moving to another name ?
Thanks for all the great advice
Peter

Q: I am down about 41% with both ENGH and WELL, but 2x the dollar amount for ENGH. I am considering selling 1 or both now for a tax loss and likely buying back. Any idea what to expect with ENGH's upcoming earnings report next week? ENGH seems to be currently sitting at pre-pandemic levels and I am guessing it might be there for a while unless there is some dramatic change in the economy. Thanks for your your comments!
