Q: Bob the builder is back/staying and now seems to be wanting to turn into Bob the seller. Do you like the strategy and think the sum of the parts is worth significantly more? How does Disney look on a forward P/E and PEG basis? At what price do you think this is an excellent opportunity for a long-term hold? Thanks

Q: Hello,

Looking to add to my current positions in these companies (registered account, 10+ year time frame). If you could please rank them in order of potential upside that would be great (and if there is a company you would stay away from, please indicate).

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,

I’m thinking of selling a few stocks at a loss to balance out capital gains (I trimmed NVDA since my stock position got too high). I can cover an equivalent loss by selling two (or a combination of all 3) of the following stocks: DIS, TTD and CRWD. I bought all 3 at a much higher price. CRWD and TTD have had a nice bounce and I’m thinking that the near term environment of debt ceiling and sell in May could be a good time to take losses. I’m wondering if you have other items I should consider related to selling now versus later this year? If later, what would be a good time to consider?

I have other similar tech stocks such as GOOG and ZS and I’m wondering if I should consider another proxy for any or not bother? And I’m also wondering about re-buying at a reasonable entry point after 30 days for any of the 3 or simply move on?

I’d appreciate any insights you could provide.

Thanks as always,
Lisa

Q: Hi 5i,
I am turning 72 and moving from an RRSP to a RIF and think this portfolio should be more orientated towards income.

In that light I wonder if you could suggest some replacement stocks for the non dividend paying TMUS and DIS on the US side of my RIF? Thanks as usual for you help.

Q: Hi 5i, May I pls have your thoughts on latest results and if you would continue to hold or upgrade.

I have few other dogs, maybe LGO also, that I'm looking to consolidate into either GOOG, META, DIS, PYPL or AMZN. Which 2 or 3 would be your preferred choices? PYPL worries me a bit, seems other fintec companies might be eating their lunch. DIS is interesting given old CEO is back and cost cutting the company. Pls give your pros/cons when ranking. Thx for your great advice!

Q: Happy Holidays! Now that 2022 is coming to an end, what would be your most bullish ideas going into 2023?

Thanks!

Read Answer Asked by Michael on January 03, 2023

Q: I currently have the following positions in the "FAANG" stocks: GOOGL (5%), MSFT and META (each less than 2%), AAPL (less than 1%).

Not interested in NFLX since I already have positions in DIS and ROKU, but I'm open to AMZN (although I have a small position in SHOP, less than 2%).

I want to reduce the number of stocks I own, so I'm looking to consolidate my FAANG positions. In what order would you rank the FAANG stocks at today's prices for potential future returns?

I have a long time horizon (decades) and a very diversified portfolio, so not worried about short-term declines in share price.
