Q: What would be some of your top picks (Canadian, U.S.) for buying based on (presumably temporary) downward pressures due to current tax loss selling?

Q: I have had some very volatile price swings in after hours trading ( positive and negative) and I'm wondering what the rationale is for this activity given the much reduced volumes. Today anaplan is trading 16 percent down after hours ( minutes before they release earnings) that seems odd. Why would an investor (including firms) want to sell after hours? Seems risky and results in seemingly large price moves. I see that in Canada we do not allow after hours trading is that correct?

Q: I see a notation on the Globe Investor website that Matterport was “formerly known as Gores Holdings VI”. I see “The Gores Group” still exists, and references a 2021 “transaction” with respect to Matterport. I assume that they were somehow involved with private financing and helping take Matterport public? Can you provide any colour commentary on Matterport’s history before their shares started trading earlier this year? I assume financial history is difficult to come by if they weren’t publicly traded?

Q: With year-end tax harvesting, I have sold off some of my holdings in the 6 stocks listed above. Can you please tell me which (if any) are worth buying again after 30 days; please rate from best to worst. If possible, can you recommend a few other over sold good long-term Canadian stocks that may be a buy now with year-end selling. Thanks!!!

Q: I just sold some stocks at a loss and the transaction will be officially completed on November 24. What is the first day I can re-buy some of the shares and avoid a superficial loss? What is the last day a stock can be sold this December and still be transacted in 2021? In future, I think I should complete tax-loss harvesting by Nov 1st - would you agree? Thanks for the excellent service at 5i!!

Q: Hi Peter.

Many of my and other high growth stocks have taken a beating. Many of them down more than 50-60% plus off their highs. However, the DOW and the NASDAQ don’t seem to have taken a tumble of that proportion.
My concern is that if this is truly a “bust “ as some pundits are calling it out to be and the indices like the S& P etc are due for further drawdowns, that could result in these hard hit high growth stocks going even down further.
In simple terms, how does 5 I see this playing out.? By stopping to taper, is the Fed creating another bust as they shore up liquidity?
Thanks

Q: Hi

We want to give each of our children $50,000 each as a Christmas gift, as we believe that we would rather see them enjoy it as we are still alive..

The plan is to take it out of our TFSA and not our cash accounts as we would have to pay capital gains.

We should be able to reinvest the amount taken out of our TFSA in the next year,.

Does this make sense?

Your comments are most welcome

Thank you

Mike

Q: I have been holding ATVI for over a decade, I enjoyed the ride up and I'm painfully watching it's decline because of the the leadership controversy. I believe the stock is worth holding if the current CEO is ousted to help with the culture change.

Do you agree? If not, any suggestions where to move my money in the same space for long term growth.
I own U and RBLX.

Thanks for the great service!

Stephan
