Investment Q&A

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

Q: Normally, I would continue to hold these stocks – CLBT, SNOW, CSU, TRI, OKTA, HUBS, ADSK, KRMN - but all are in the red and I could use some capital losses for tax reporting. BUT all are rated as strong buys with good potential upside by TipRanks. I think only KRMN reports within the next thirty days. Would you sell any today? And would you buy them back in thirty days? Would I be better to wait until closer to the end of the year? Thank you.

Q: Could I please get an update on the potential for Autodesk? I have held it for years as a cornerstone in my portfolio, but the stock price has essentially done nothing. The company has transitioned to a cloud-based subscription business and changed some billing practices. It is now changing its third-party transaction model and doing a restructuring. I think the SEC investigation is still ongoing (and a lawsuit) and am not sure how big this could be. It sounds like Trump has paused the big US infrastructure bill but still plans to spend lots on construction and infrastructure. Could this be the year Autodesk finally takes off?

Q: In a high growth portfolio I hold the following US stocks: CRWD, GOOGL, NVO, Uber and the ETF XT. I think I would like to replace the ETF XT with a single growth stock. XT has done okay for me in that it has doubled but that took nearly 10 years. Can you recommend a faster growing US stock that would be a good fit?

Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Recently a tech expert came on BNN and mentioned that going forward, it is the SaaS companies that will benefit from AI revolution. His top pick was ORCL. But he mentioned NOW and CRM as well in passing. I looked at these companies using Finviz's screener (free version!) and I see ORCL has a lot more debt than the other two.

What would be your choice? If not these three do you have any other favourites? Many thanks.

Q: With all the volatility we are seeing, I am looking at trading a few stocks so I would like a few suggestions from you. These should be names I wouldn't have a problem holding if the trades don't work out. Both US and Canada. Thank you in advance.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I’m down on all the above stocks as follows CRWD Down 36%, ETSY down 40%, PINS down 52%, PYPL down 64%, SQ down 72% and U down 77%.

With a 2 to 3 year horizon which of these are worth holding and which once I should sell and can you suggest US replacements and not necessarily in the same asset class. Just good stable companies that have good growth potential to outperform the indexes.

Take as many credits as you feel necessary.

Thanks
Joe

Q: I have small positions in the above noted companies held in my TFSA. They are all underwater and so there is no tax advantage to selling these losers. I would like to sell some or all of them and either to one or more of them or move on to some small techs that have more prospects. Can you let me know which of these you would sell hold or add to. Thanks for your ongoing great advise.

Q: What do you think about L-T Buy and Holds on the above 6 stocks (ADSK, CSU, ATD, BRK.B, INMD, CNR)? Are there any that you would not buy at the present time? Purchases would be funded by new $ and selling DDOG and APPS? Would you be okay with parting with them as part of adding to the above?

Q: What are your current thoughts on TEAM (Atlassian)? Do you see much upside for it this year if these market conditions continue and the fact that it is not profitable? Is it undervalued or overvalued at this point? Or do the long term potential benefits outweigh the current headwinds it is facing? Do you see it as a buy, hold or sell at this point? Held in a registered account so a small tax loss is not possible. Please suggest other options if you have higher conviction in other names (open to other sectors to continue diversification in a tech heavy portfolio).

Q: I have very limited tech exposure in my portfolio (AT, SYZ, LSPD & TIXT all less than 5% each) and I am interested in these 3 names due to recent tech down trend.
1) Can you provide your opinion on them and suggest which one of the three is cheapest in terms of valuation ?
2) which one would be your best pick of the three, and why?
3) Also pick and explain the second choice.
Growth investor with med-high risk appetite and looking at 5 to 10 year holding period.
Thank you

Q: Earlier this year I transferred my Magna shares from my non registered Canadian Account to my non registered US account in order to avoid money exchange charges. I am interested in selling the shares and would like to know if the same shares can be sold through my US account so I can use the US funds to purchase some beaten up ADSK and CRM shares this month.
Thanks for all the support in 2021.
