Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i and Happy New Year!

I hold the above noted stocks/ETF in a TFSA.
The only 2 that are above water are Nanoxplore (GRA:CA) and PayPal (PYPL:US).
Question 1). Which would you recommend keeping?
Question 2). Which would you recommend selling?
Question 3). With ESG values in mind, what would be your top 3 CAD stocks and top 3 US stocks for this year's $6000 TFSA contribution?

Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Please ignore if this has been asked by others, but let's say Mr. X challenges you to the same competition but for US stocks, and this time he let's you pick first. What are your picks?

Q: Is this a good price to buy at today? What is your view on the Multi-year deal with google. How do you feel this will impact future growth and profitability. Day of the announcement saw an early morning +10% , only to erode by end of day. Reason for such impact?

Q: The above mentioned companies make up my US portion of my companies for a buy and hold retired growth investor. Given that they are evenly held, not well diversified and weighted to tech, Looking forward to 2022 do any of these cause any concern to you. NIO and UCTT have been underperforming the most. Would you trim or remove any of these?

Q: Could you name a couple of growth stocks with a 3-5 time horizon ?

Q: Can you list your potential biggest January bouncers, maybe 5 Canada and 5 US for aggressive investors? Thx!

Q: Looking to harvest a capital gains loss with AT. With the possible upside in the new year, I would like to reinvest the funds. Can you suggest a couple of ideas, either US or Canadian.

Thank you,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Q: I'm thinking of selling my (small) position in MITK, and using the proceeds to add to my APPS position.

This is in my TFSA, so no tax implications. What do you think about this move?

Thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone at 5I.

Q: Thanks for the great services and very meaningful insights. I had asked this questions 2 days ago not sure if t was received by your team as I didn't see a response. I am a long term Investor. Normally I don't trade but want to try out the Tax loss strategy . Planning to Invest about $25k in 4 to 5 US or Canadian stocks which are oversold due to tax loss claims. Planning to buy this week and sell them in Q1 2022. What are your strongest convictions/ recommendation on this strategy at the current level. Can you please provide a few names that you have the most conviction in(Not necessarily the most upside)? Please rank them, provide a suggested price and the reason for your strong conviction.

Thanks and Wish a very Happy Holidays to everyone at 5I team.

Q: What Cdn or U.S. companies would you consider to be the most likely takeover targets in 2022? Can you rank them in terms of quality even if a takeover doesn't materialize?

Q: Hello 5i
I want to re arrange my TFSA and seek your advice, I own a lot of Topicus in my TFSA and have been considering selling it to buy something else, for two reasons. First, it is close to CSU and I have a lot of that, too. so, I would like to delute that concentration. Also, I want a US company with high premiums that I can sell options on. My preference would be Nvidia. But, because Topicus has gone down so much, lately, I would like to get someting good that has gone down as much as it. Therefore I was looking mostly at Square. APPs might give me a faster ride. < in both directions, thought!> but Square might be more reliable for a retired person. Appreciate any suggestions and, as always, respect and value your judgement

Q: With the recent pullback and the seemingly never ending concerns around inflation and interest rates, what 5 US and CAD positions do you see as oversold with excellent upside potential in the short term right now?

Q: Hi Team,
I am just wondering why APPS is not on the Apple platform? Also would there be potential to be in the future, and would this be a catalyst for them? Or is this an impossibility? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Good morning
I have some cash in my TFSA that i would like to put to work before the end of the year and then in early January to complete the position with my contribution for 2022.
What are your 3 favorite picks for a TFSA in 2022 in Canada and 2 picks in the US?
Thks 5i for all your help over the years and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all at 5i
Thks

Q: When you answered Chris' question yesterday about the top 6 picks for US stocks for a 5 year horizon, did your list of stocks come in your estimation of best performing? If not, Please do so.
Thanks!!!

Q: I hold LSPD in a TFSA and am planning to replace it with APPS. Would you suggest making the switch now...or waiting til tax selling is behind us in January? Thank you.

Q: I have assembled a few names from the US exchanges that have had a tough few months and are likely experiencing some year end portfolio adjustments, ie, Tax Loss Selling. From the names I have here, can you identify two that you feel will have a better 2022, also curious if you might have an additional name for consideration. Thanks very much, happy holidays to you folks as well as all our 5i members

Q: Hello 5I.
I have a pretty well balanced portfolio and am currently a little overweight tech. That said I am torn on weather to take a loss on $Sq and buy something like $CRWD or $Apps as I want to keep the growth tech. I am down 20%. The tax write off is a small help but not the decision maker. With that is mind do you think $sq has more upside vs the other 2 listed? Would you recommend I just stay the course with $SQ?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Still holding AYX at a great loss in a registered account. Would you sell and replace with APPS at this time? Thanks for your great support and have a safe and happy holiday.

Q: Which do you think has the most upside in 2022? APPS, LSPD or TOI? Please list in order of preference. Thank you.
