Q: I am considering selling OVV at a considerable loss and replacing it with Whitecap for the 30 day tax loss. At that time I will compare the progress of the 2 stocks to decide whether to stay with WCP or move back to OVV. I’m inclined to think I should stay with WCP as they have a good dividend and I already have some shares. I would not be overweight in WCP. Is there a different oil stock you would suggest instead of WCP?
Thanks for your always great advise.
John

What do you think of my strategy and what are your thoughts on the 2 companies.

Q: Two weeks ago I asked the following question below.

Can you please confirm that you meant Trane Technologies and not The Trade Desk. I know that the Trade Desk seems to be one of your favourites. Thank you.

Question:
We are looking to adds some US positions to our TFSA. We currently have AMD, DAL, DOCU, BRK-B, and ROKU. Could you suggest 5 growth names for long term holds that you would feel comfortable entering new positions in today? And would you add to ROKU at present? Thanks in-advance.

Answer:
We still like ROKU and thing it can move more. But we would keep weighting/risk in mind. It is the type of stock that moves quickly (both ways). We would suggest: CRWD, NVDA, VEEV, U, TT

Q: Can you please comment on the Emerge ARK ETFs? I love that the ARK ETFs are available in $C but am concerned that 1) the listings are on the NEO, 2) their traded volume is quite low and 3) their return is already a few percent behind that of the real (US) ARK ETFs. Thanks.

Q: Could I have your thoughts on BioHaven. It has a new drug for acute treatment of migraine headaches and seems to be very effective. Their stock has progressed since the drug was first put on the market earlier this year. How do they look financially? I believe they have an interest in another company Kleo Pharmaceuticals. I believe The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has also given Kleo a substantial grant.
Thanks John

Q: I'm planning to enter a position to buy GC. I figure that even if Apollo's buyout deal falls through, GC is still likely to be a good hold for the next few years. Apollo's offer of $39/stock in the middle of the pandemic is a low-offer - I think that after the COVID vaccine has been distributed, GC's income will normalize and the stock price will be worth more than the offer price. I'd like your thoughts as to whether my logic is sound and without too much emotion. Thanks

Q: Dear 5i Team,
After the recent great run up in equities you had graded highly(thank you), I’d like to move some profits to fixed income to keep close to the 40% FI.

What type of fixed income you think is most undervalued lately? Any ETFs on Canadian or US markets, any geography, graded from lower to higher risk.

Regards,

Carl van Rossum
