Q: I'm down about 12% on FB. I still like the company fundamentally but it keeps dropping and it seems like every negative announcement makes it drop another 3 to 5%. Do you think I should get out? My concern is that even the company is financially strong the negative momentum and news will just drive it down to where its a huge up hill battle for me to get back what I've lost. Do you think this will drag on for years? Would a good q1 be able to turn things around or is the negative publicity too much? Thanks

Q: Hello would a small position in this Chinese tech company be okay to hold in a TFSA for a long term hold? The WeChat ap that they have is pretty amazing and I read they are now able to sell financial products to their client base that is bigger than Facebooks. thanks

Q: Hi 5i: I'm still on my quest to reduce the number of stocks in my RIF in the most defensive way possible. In my IT sector I hold:
AIF (or is that in Real Estate?); GIB.A; KXS;
FB; GOOG; RYT (ETF).
Could you suggest the best way to reduce this to 3, say? Any suggestions on how to proceed given the current sell-off? Thanks Roland

Q: I've held this stock through two seemingly disappointing quarters , and am now down 13%. Do you still have faith in this company? It's lagging the sector big time. Was thinking of putting the money into Facebook on the dip with the proceeds. Please advise
Thank you

Q: Facebook has had a good run in the past 12 months and there is a good mix of analysts who rate it as a buy. However Pivotal Research rates it as a sell and calls for a 24% drop in the current price. What is your opinion of FB? Is Googl a better stock at this juncture or would you recommend I look at another stock in this sector.

Thanks Team. Chris
