Q: These stocks are in my portfolio and are way down from my cost. Are these worth holding, adding more or to sell and move on.

As these are in my non-registered account, I can use the capital loss to offset previous year year's gains. Could you suggest proxy for these in case I sell now for capital loss to buy them later.

Q: Good morning. What would you recommend for an investment Canadian and US data analytics company or space? Thanks again.

Q: Would you have a proxy for ENGH and would you buy it back in 30 days? If not which stock(s) in the same sector would you recommend that is also beaten down but has good upside potential going forward?
Thanks for your service?

Q: Hi Gang,
Wondering your thoughts on DocuSign earnings out today. I didn't think so awful, all though I do think the market wants to see actual profitablity now and docu did not deliver..again...is that your read?
Is the 20 percent off today a hint to buy or would you wait to see if future earnings reports turn around? They are cash flow positive which is a plus.
Thanks

Q: Would GUD make an "interesting" investment in the current environment?

I've noticed that it held fairly well (pretty much flat) compared with its sector (down a lot), and also large amounts of share buybacks and insider buying signaling that management is confident in the company.

Thanks!

Q: Which of these companies do you think have the best growth potential going forward for a long term hold, looking at their current valuation, fwd rev and earnings growth rates, etc.. How would you rank them? Thanks!

Q: Hi There,
I have a fairly large position in CAR.UN and I'm thinking of selling half and buying either DIR.UN or TCN.
Of the two noted, would you have a preference of one over the other?
Thank You

Q: Any insight in the large price drop today?
Thx

Q: Hello 5i,

For tax-loss selling looking for 30 day proxies for NET, SNOW and PINS.

Thanks

Q: What do you make of the recent increase in the spread of WTI oil over WCS oil of more than 50%? What are the CDN. mid-caps most relying on WCS. Thanks.

Q: I am thinking of harvesting a tax loss in CAR.UN. Had bought this to protect against, or just dampen, the abrasive effect of inflation. I do not need a loss for tax year 2022 so it would be for use in some future year. I could use the proceeds to buy a different REIT , as a possible (probable?) protection against inflation.
1- Am I correct about REITs being a probable protection against inflation?
2- Although interest rates will be higher going forward, I assume inflation also dampens effect of debt. Is this in fact true?
3-Would you suggest an industrial REIT over a residential? Please suggest names you favor. I like ones that are inter-listed as I have only US$. ( TCN, Granite GRP in the US and others). But ones listed in Canada only are also just fine.

Q: Hi Peter and team.
Significant losses in all of these over last 3-6 months. Would you bail out on any of them and what could I reinvest in 3 CDN and 3 US that have been similarly beaten down but have a better growth outlook ?
Personal account with a fair balance of 40% US securities currently.
Thanks for all the advice
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you put any weight at all on takeover rumours? This morning a Seeking Alpha article said that ROKU employees had a cease trading order put on them internally in the past couple of days. NFLX is rumoured to be circling. What do you think is the likelihood here?

Q: Can you give me a list of some small cap canadian companies who have good balance sheet, debt are not too high and you recommend in investing for the long term
