Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own 18 US Stocks and have losses in the following 6:

1) D.R. HORTON is down 13%
2) ULTRA CLEAN HOLDINGS is down 23%
3) CROCS is down 43%
4) QUIDEL is down 47%
5) CO-DIAGNOSTICS is down 59%
6) FULGENT GENETICS is down 11%

My Portfolio is 20% in cash so I can take advantage when a particular stock is down for no good reason.

All the above are small holdings, and therefore I am able to easily lower the % loss by adding to my holdings, and hoping that once the market recovers, I can sell them for a smaller loss.

Which of the above would you add, and your reasons why ?

Which of the above would you sell, and the reasons why ?

Thank You.

Q: Have some cash in my US $ portfolio and am considering these 6 stocks.

1) Are there any that you would want to buy at this time ? If so, would you consider them primarily to be a shorter time hold to take advantage of near term bounce, or do you see them as having the potential for both short and long term strength ?
2) Of those you would want to buy – if any - could you rank the order in which you would buy and acceptable price range.
As always, thank you .

Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 5 or so US companies who will recover very quickly once we hit bottom. My plan is to do a little gambling and buy long term calls.
Thanks for all the help over the years.

Q: I am down 20 to 40 % on these equities.
I am considering harvesting a loss and moving to other names in their respective sectors. Please assess by my plan and provide any necessary input.
Swap LULU for CROX
Swap ADBE for CRM
Swap RCII for DKNG - I am less convinced it this third swap.

Thank you

Q: As a follow up to my last question on PINS, what names do you think are most attractive on this tech selloff considering a mix of quality/growth (like a middle ground of ones that been seemingly oversold but also are quality names that can weather a storm).

Would PINS be high on that list? What are 3 others? Any info on their valuations/growth prospects is appreciated!

Thank you!

Q: Dear 5i
I suspect paypal is declining of late due to the potential PINS deal . Should i continue to hold it or is there reason to sell ?Do you expect it will bounce back ?
Also CROX has been strong the past few years . In an otherwise balanced portfolio would it be a good addition either in a TFSA , cash account or RRSP account ? What growth rates is CROX expecting over the next 2-3 years ?
Thanks

In the US consumer cyclical sector, would crox be a good buy now in view of the coming spring/summer and is it very sensitive to the Asian markets ? What would be your favorites in the consumer cyclical sector, Canada and USA, for the coming months ?

Have a good year in all regards,
