Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5I,
I am down 50% on the above stocks. They are in taxable accounts but it’s not completely necessary for me to take losses necessary. I want to stay invested but am I just better to stay in these names or switch to something else? Basically are these good names to just stay in when things turn positive or do you highly recommend other names?
Thanks

Q: Thoughts on these quarterly results? Do you still like the long term prospects of these three growth companies?

In general, what are your thoughts on holding growthier names in this current market? It just seems that the risk of holding these positions through earnings outweighs the benefits. For example, if a company meets expectations and maintains guidance, the stock barely moves. However, any miss or lower guidance and the stock easily gets crushed 30-50%, such as NFLX, FB, UPST, RBLX, COIN, etc... Seems a lot of companies are issuing lower guidance because of all the uncertainties. Wouldn't it be better or more prudent to just sell or maybe trim the positions to reflect these risks and re-enter later?

Other growth names I have on deck soon are GSY, WELL, AT, EGLX, LSPD, NVDA, APPS, and CRWD and I'm worried about how investors will react to earnings. Thanks!

Q: Could you please clarify your recent response to Greg on Unity. When you say
"A better market would see this stock rise sharply, but we would be more inclined to be on the sidelines after this report. It was just not good. "
Is this a suggestion to sell an existing position ( registered or non-registered account) ? Or, are you merely suggesting not to buy or add to an existing position at this point ?
Thank you.

Q: I'm a new subscriber to your services this year and much appreciate your independent thought on investments. What is a good fully diversified ETF that is capital gains oriented over dividends? I've focused on dividend paying stocks over past 30 years, and while I'm enjoying working - want to avoid paying more than 1/2 my dividends income to gov. When I stop working I would convert back to dividend based investments to provide my income. Thank you.

Q: Hi! After this quarter would you sell Unity for a tax loss? Two other growth stocks I own are Crowdstrike and Nvidia. Which stock would you buy with Unity proceeds? Crowdstrike or Nvidia?
My thinking is getting back in at Unity at a later time.

Thanks
Kevin

Q: Hi 5i
Just curious. I realize there’s always 2sides to a trade. So with the market going down for a while now, who do you think is doing the trading.
Retail selling/buying or smart money in there somewhere.
Peter thanks to your advice over the years I’m watching the market and not doing anything irrational and definitely not worrying about today or tomorrow.
Thx
