Q: Hi 5i Team,

Upstart, Pinterest and Cerence are all beaten down lately. Do you think they still have future growth potential and are buyable during the current tax loss selling period. If so, pls estimate an entry point respectively.

I understand the risk of these stocks and they are in different sectors.
Pls deduct credits at your discretion.

Thank you for your great advice as alwasys

Q: Hi Team,
I sold MRS at a 66% loss in my TFSA. Should I put the leftover money towards PINS, EGLX, PLTR, LSPD or WELL? Please list in order or preference. Or should I wait in the new year with the additional funds that I will add?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
Last year around this time, you were asked to guess a few names in the US or CDN Market that had 100 bagger potential. Some of the names mentioned were WELL, TTD, LSPD, XBC, MGNI, PLTR, VEEV, PINS, KRR, & STC. Just wondering if there were any names you would add or delete from this list? I realize identifying the next 100 bagger is next to impossible, just for some fun.
Thanks

Q: I am looking at my losers. Please list in order of preference which ones you would average down on. I know that's a bad word but we could call it greatest contrarian opportunity. Obviously risk is not a great concern but not to be completely ignored. Thanks as always

Q: Hi Team,
After the failed takeover rumour by pypl Pins is quickly at a 52week low. Do you see this as a buying opportunity in a name that continues to spark takeover interests from big names like pypl and previously Msft? I hold the stock and am currently down on the name. Average down or simply hold? Or ….is it time to sell? Thanks

Q: I am down on these stocks EGLX (-24%), AT (-28%), BRAG (-24%) and PINS (-23%).
These stocks are in a non-registered account.

I have two questions. First, are these stocks worth holding for a turnaround or just take the loss (and take advantage of the tax loss credit) and move on?

Second, if they are worth holding I might do a tax loss sell and buy after 30 days. I am not sure how to time that. Do it now or at the end of the year?

Thank you for your help and advice as always.

Q: Hi 5i,
Back to PINS and PYPL again. Given SNAP’s lower earnings and Apple’s new privacy settings making it more difficult for advertisers on SNAP, would you expect PINS’ upcoming earnings to show a similar problem? If so, would PYPL have signed some form of NDA with PINS so that they would have knowledge of PINS’ upcoming earnings and any Apple privacy impacts?
Thanks again.

Q: Not sure of the rationale for PayPal buying PINS. A $45 billion price tag seems like a lot considering they could of done a partnership instead. A merger that lacks strategic vision is a great way to destroy shareholder value…just ask Time Warner/AOL. Although it is preliminary what are your thoughts? As a long term PayPal shareholder should I sell and buy Square to hold for the next five years? There are no tax or risk considerations just a straight swap to change horses.

Q: Dear 5i
I suspect paypal is declining of late due to the potential PINS deal . Should i continue to hold it or is there reason to sell ?Do you expect it will bounce back ?
Also CROX has been strong the past few years . In an otherwise balanced portfolio would it be a good addition either in a TFSA , cash account or RRSP account ? What growth rates is CROX expecting over the next 2-3 years ?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the rumoured, from several sources, PYPL bid for PINS at around $70 a share? It seems like a lowball bid. Not much of a premium and not even close to taking out the yearly high of PINS. On what metric would you evaluate this bid and how does it compare to peer group acquisitions in the past couple of years? How do you see this playing out in the market? Other potential bidders?
Thanks again.
Dave
