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: Chegg saw a big drop yesterday with their news of a slowdown in the education industry. Do you see future growth for this company? Would you buy on this dip? Or are there better opportunities out there?

By the way, I'm new to your service but reading the Q&A has become an essential part of my daily morning routine - thank you for the excellent insights!

Q: Peter and Ryan: Firstly let me congratulate you both on the launch of i2i and I look forward to your information rollout in the near future.
While I wait maybe you can give me some direction on two US stock that are dragging down my foreign portfolio. Both EBS and CHGG have preformed poorly this past month, should I cut my losses and redeploy elsewhere or hang in and wait?. I am open to new ideas and have a high risk tolerance.

Q: News from the US today on UNC going to strictly online learning has to be the first of many such stories. I know CHEGG is a prominent US name that could benefit from schools scrambling to move online but I would like to ask if you can provide some names of companies that will benefit if either elementary, secondary or post secondary schools are hastily shut down? I listed a few that might do well on the headlines and would like your thoughts on each but also would like to know who will be fuelling the transition if it happens (cloud, security etc). To put it another way, who else stands to benefit if "back to school" is quickly reversed. Deduct as you see to be fair please.

Q: I just listened to a Podcast from Business Casual about online education. This discussion resonated with me in looking into the future and changes that Covid has forced to our brick and mortar Universities to adjust to. What are other companies & ETF's in this space. My understanding is that it is a $700B/yr business and companies together have in excess of $100B market cap.

Q: Hi, I see online education as a growing theme for the future. I was wondering if there are any growing companies in this sector you could suggest other than GOOG and MSFT..I was looking at a company call D2L but seems it is not listed.

On another topic, what are your thoughts about the upcoming IPO of Palantir..it seems to be nice investment opportunity. With a great leader, I read a book by Peter Thiel ..he seems to be a of a very high caliber. I have great respect for him.

Cheers,

Shyam

Q: Hi 5i team,
I follow a number of the stay-at-home stocks but question their valuations and wonder about their staying power. One that has been on my watchlist for awhile is CHGG. The stock price jumped recently after a very strong earnings report, so I may have missed the run. It is gathering analyst support for its on-line education platform for courses, tutoring and reference material for high school and college students. With a number of universities in Canada and the U.S. keeping campuses closed at least until the January semester, does CHGG have some staying power for its on-line educational services? What are your thoughts on CHGG?
Thanks again for the insight.

Q: Hi Peter,

I'd like your opinion of these US stocks based on the data available to you.

Could you name three other high-growth US stocks that pique your interest at current levels?
