Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

I have small positions in these 6 stocks, all in the red - MTCH, ROKU, GNRC are in registered accounts, RBLX, UPST, ZM in non-registered. I don't find it easy to sell any stocks but in the spirit of 'pulling weeds', can I get your opinion on which of these, if any, you would sell. Any that might be worth adding to at their current valuation?

Thank you for your insights, Doris

Q: Hello,

I currently hold the above stocks in my RRSP and have some $ to add. Given current valuations and future growth, could you please rank how you would add new money? Fairly aggressive investor with long time frame. Thank you,

Doris

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on Bumble as a potential buy, looking at it for longterm growth... thank you.

Q: My portfolio analytics is showing that I'm a bit low in my communication services sector.

Beyond the obvious telecom companies, what are some of the less obvious companies or perhaps ETFs that would fit into this sector?

Also, including the telecoms, could you rank your top few Canadian and US buys for this sector.

Thanks as always.

Q: I hold ATVI in my RRIF for long term income and growth. Assuming that the acquisition by MSFT closes, what would be your top three choices for consideration as replacements within the communication services sector?

Q: Hi,

I currently own META and QCLN.
For long term hold, I'm thinking about switching these two into SMART stocks because they dropped more.

1) Do you think SMART stocks will outperform META and QCLN in the long term?
2) Do you think SMART stocks are cheap enough right now given almost 50% drops?

Thank you!

Q: Please provide your assessment of the last quarter. This has been an underperformer for the past 6 months now, selling off at every quarterly report.

Do you still believe in the company? I hold a fairly sizeable position (5%). Would you buy sell or hold ?
Thank you

Q: Morning,

Could you discuss the Match quarter and why you think it's taking such a hit. Would you buy or add here?

thanks, Mark

Q: I really like the CEO of this company and based on my social circle it seems WAY more people use bumble as opposed to match. Since the decline in the IPO price, do you think this would be a good time to start a position?

Q: Bumble just joined the stock market yesterday. What are your thoughts on jumping in early?? I am curious to jump in if even for the short term.

Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on earnings. Is it still a buy or rather a hold.
If you have a more compelling idea, I am open to suggestions.
Thank you.

Q: Please provide an update on Match. It’s been very weak as of late.
Do you still like it? Would you be adding on weakness?
Thank you very much.

Q: I have these companies in my high revenue portfolio. It has been performing well. In these changing times, I find myself switching to companies that have high revenue growth and will not be affected by closure. Any expert thoughts or input would be appreciated.

Q: From a risk profile point of view, please classify each of the above companies as:
Low risk, average risk, high risk or speculative. Charge as many questions as you feel appropriate.
Thanks. RAM

Q: What are some of your favorite US growth names right now? I am a younger investor with some money to deploy. I have a 20+ year time horizon. I am not too worried about sector allocation due to having a defined benefits pension when I eventually retire (20+ years).

I am also wondering what US stocks 5i staff are currently buying and why.

Thanks for all your advice. I read the questions daily. Your support through these tough times (my first as an investor) has been beyond insightful and finding I am getting my financial education through your words of wisdom and advice. I keep speaking highly of you to my friends looking to get into investing and am encouraging they subscribe to your service as it is beyond exceptional.

Thanks for all that you all do! Hope you and yours are safe and healthy during these tough times.

Q: With Match (MTCH) splitting off from its parent company, what impact would it have on Match. Short term and long term

Q: I see you made recent comments on Match group. I'm interested and it looks very strong fundamentally (pre covid), very high roic, roe. But debt looked like it could be pretty high and CEO sold a large chunk of shares last month. Can you comment on its financial situation and would you have concerns with it making it through some negative quarters?

Q: Strong buy, buy, hold, or sell at current levels.
Looking to initiate a new position.
What are you thoughts going forward ?
Thanks

Q: Prof Galloway (pivot/section4/etc) talks a lot about unregulated monopolies, are there any companies that you would recommend (outside of the traditional faang names) that might be able to grow into this category? (canada or us)

thanks

Q: I have a small US account and am looking to add a couple of companies to it. I realize that you do not provide extensive coverage of US stocks but would it be possible to recommend a few small to mid cap growth companies with a one to three year time horizon. Sector and volatility are not factors. Thanks.
