Q: Down approx 25% in each of Goog, Msft and Amzn. Down 45% in Meta. I have a 5 year window and am looking for total return and less volatility. I am inclined to keep the first 3 and switch Meta for Cost or Aapl. Please critique my plan. Thank you

Q: In January, regarding the above to companies, you stated "We don't like the valuations in the sector (especially RIVN, LCID)..."
My question is, after a significant drop in both, and the requirements for European countries to move into EV's in the coming years, is it reasonable to take a small position in one or both to sit on the shelf for 10 years. Is there another co (next to Tesla) that might be a better "shelf" stock. Thanks!

Q: With the above four big tech companies above disappointing on earnings and being beaten up for it, is this the beginning of the tech earnings recession going forward? And do you think the stock market will begin to move more on earnings now and less on the actions or potential actions of the Fed? ie. if we want to buy these names would it be smart to sit on the sidelines now and let this play out for a while? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Do you agree with Mr. Ross Healy that NFLX is the only FAANG stock worth dipping into? Would you be a "trader" of this stock? Do you see the potential for a bounce?
Feel free to share your "musings"!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

With small and mid-cap stocks at very low valuations what would be your must owns for stocks in the US and Canada for solid growth over the next 1-5 years with the core characteristics that you look for including solid growth in revenues, strong balance sheet and etc.?

Over the course of the next 6 months would you be a buyer of small to mid cap stocks or large cap stocks? I'm a long-term investor with a medium to high growth risk tolerance.

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hi 5i Team - I hold the above stocks in three small U.S. accounts. I plan to keep NVDA, QCOM, AMZN, GOOG. My holdings in the other six are minimal due to the general sell-off over the past year: CRWD, UCTT, U, APPS, ROKU, UPST. I would like to combine these 6 into two, three at the maximum. Could you suggest which two or three should be kept. Or might it be best to sell all six and start over with a couple of different ones. My investment focus is growth with a three year timeline. Since it's the end of the week the answer can wait until sometime next week.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i:
I've been away for a while and not keeping up with Questions, so this may already have been asked and answered. if so, please provide a link to the answer.
I'm hoping you could advise what sectors you think will reverse the current trend and begin to appreciate in value more quickly than others and, also, if you could identify three or so names you would expect to 'lead the charge' in each of those sectors.
If time and space permit, any commentary you might have regarding each identified sector and/or name would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I know your standard advice in terrible markets is do nothing, but I think I read you advising another member it might not be a bad idea to sell some names like Google and Amazon and buy them back after a month. Isn't this risky?

Q: I am looking at a purchase in my non-registered account. All the above stocks are below there targets and some are at 5 star price levels. What would be your choice from the list for growth for a 3 - 5 year hold?

Q: Hello, thinking of selling these stocks for tax loss reasons (10-15%). Although one would think a very possible recession with the related decrease in earnings is already baked in share prices, I am afraid it is not entirely so. I intent to buy these stocks back in a month, hopefully with a lower SP. Is the tradeoff between tax loss and the risk of share prices jumping much higher worth it? Thanks
