Q: According to CNN, "Currently, gamblers can deduct their losses before paying taxes on their winnings. Under Trump’s bill, though, they’ll be able to deduct just 90% of their losses. For example: Win $100,000, but lose $80,000? You’ll have made $20,000 but owe taxes on $28,000. “This new amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would end professional gambling in the US and hurt casual gamblers, too,” professional poker player Phil Galfond said on X. “You could pay more in tax than you won.”
An easy question for you, as it's more or less just speculation, but how could you see this affecting these two stocks? Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always

Q: Do any of these companies fwd P/E's or P/S's concern you at all vs their expected growth rates?

They range from 50x to 127x. I'm looking to increase positions in NBIS/SRAD/GENI so I'm thinking of trimming some of these higher valuation names to add to these lower position names. However, I don't want to trim these long term compounders if they still have legs, but at such high valuations, when does it make sense to trim a name like CRWD to add to NBIS currently? I understand that great companies generally have higher valuations for a reason and investors have to pay up for great long term compounders. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have small positions in the following three gaming sector companies: Genius Sports, Sportradar, Flutter Entertainment. Am wondering if I need to have all three of these companies and if I should consolidate into two of them. If so, which two of the three would you keep. Is there a significant difference between the three - maybe consolidation is not necessary.
As an afterthought, is Fan Duel likely to become publicly traded.
Thanks.

Q: How would you rate these for holding in the SMID Growth section of a portfolio (A couple may not be SMID, which means they just may not be forever keepers for me) - I hold all except SNPS and NOW, which I've been watching, and I’m thinking of consolidating into 6-8 positions, but could keep more. I'm considering 3-4 for shorter-term growth, 1-3 years, 3-4 for longer-term growth, 5-10 years. Please order from most conviction to least with a preference to Shorter (S) or longer(L) or either (E). Thanks!
SNPS, NOW, GLXY, KSI, FOUR, ROAD, CLBT, CRM, HPS.A, VHI, GENI, SRAD

Q: Thoughts on GAMB after earnings? Can you comment on why earnings seemed good but it dropped? The Donville group seem to love it and they are right almost as often as you guys so I'd love to have your take on whether you would buy at these levels and what you might see as it's 3 year return? Is there overlap with GENI or SRAD and is it a takeover candidate?

Thanks

Q: Hi,

One month ago, April 4th, in an answer to a question, you listed your favorite stocks, both Canadian and U.S.

Which would they be today, for a growth investor, with a general indication of the reasons and risks of your list ?

Thankfully,

Jacques IDS

Q: What sector would you consider GENI to be in? The profile says "media", but this doesn't quite line up to a list I typically use (Telecom, Utilities, Materials, Industrials, Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financial, Energy, Health Care, Information Technology). Do I just need to update my list, or should I fit it in something like Technology?
