Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: These companies are getting killed on no news. I understand the environment with tax loss, covid, backdrop etc. What I don't understand is why the shorts aren't covering or appear to be. Also are these companies prime candidate's for a takeover because there smaller but at an inception point of eating up market share.

Q: I'm looking ahead to January's TFSA contribution. Portfolio analysis indicates that my biggest sector shortfall is in healthcare. My only healthcare exposure is as part of my XAW (18% of my overall portfolio) and VGRO (44%), so I'm looking at AND, CARE, and WELL as candidates for the TFSA. What's your take on whether to put the contribution to one, some or all of these, or something else? Age 72 but my RRIF minimums (plus CPP/OAS) are sufficient for living expenses, don't expect to have to touch TFSA for 6+ years.
Thanks.

Q: Can I get your quick thoughts on CRWD and VEEV earnings? Do you still like both for long term growth?

Also thoughts on the VIX cracking above 30? With rates expected to rise in the near future, do you see a shift from more growth to value and more headwind for high growth stocks? I’m holding some high growth names such as SHOP, NVEI, LSPD, U, CRWD, APPS, WELL, VEEV and am a long term investor. Do you still have high confidence in all these names? Have done well but the recent pullback is tough to see. Thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,
I was up 30% on WELL but I am now down 20%. I know you are positive on the stock over the next few years. I do not need to sell it but I'm thinking of (1) selling it for tax loss purposes and buying it back after 30 days, or (2) buying more now to average down, Alternatively, (3) I could sell the shares for tax loss purposes and buy the new convertible debentures which pay 5.5% and are convertible at a share price of $9.23. Al things being equal which looks like the best approach over the next 3 years? if it is to buy the debentures what is the ticker symbol for them? Thanks.

Q: hello 5i Research team,
I understand that the entire sector has been weak for some time. WELL is currently at its 52 week low. Based on technical analysis, what is the next support level? Could you compare WELL stock performance with a basket of North American competitors (name the list of the companies in your basket) since March 1st 2021 when WELL was at 9$ and comment. What could be catalysts for the sector? Have you seen some signs of consolidation in the sector?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi Team,
I sold MRS at a 66% loss in my TFSA. Should I put the leftover money towards PINS, EGLX, PLTR, LSPD or WELL? Please list in order or preference. Or should I wait in the new year with the additional funds that I will add?
Thanks

Q: What would be some of your top picks (Canadian, U.S.) for buying based on (presumably temporary) downward pressures due to current tax loss selling?

Q: Hi, do you have any compelling purchases from the stocks that have recently achieved 52 week low status? The negative momentum is not an ideal buying strategy but perhaps tax loss selling has pushed some of these stocks to this status, warranted or not. (AT, Well, VFF are a few that hit this status today...and that I have on a watch list).
Do you see these or others that have this recent status as a buying opportunity or should one wait to see more positive momentum?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Hi,
Last year around this time, you were asked to guess a few names in the US or CDN Market that had 100 bagger potential. Some of the names mentioned were WELL, TTD, LSPD, XBC, MGNI, PLTR, VEEV, PINS, KRR, & STC. Just wondering if there were any names you would add or delete from this list? I realize identifying the next 100 bagger is next to impossible, just for some fun.
Thanks

Q: I am looking to offset some capital gains received this year from PEO and PHO (thanks!). Currently I have the following holdings in a loss position, in order of dollars down: TDOC, TV, XBC, HAL, XEG, NFI, SQ, TECK.B, XTC, WELL, ENGH, PLTR. I would need to sell the first six to fully offset the gain, or could sell more if using those in a smaller loss position. How would you rank these holdings in order of selling, and which of these would you look to buy back after 30 days (if any)? Note that these are held within a broad portfolio that I am also looking to consolidate.
