Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I would like to get your general thoughts on dipping into margin at times such as these to chip away on the buy side wall markets are off all-time highs. Assuming margin ratios are kept reasonable, the investor understands the risks, and an effort is made to reduce them once markets froth again, would this be a reasonable (albeit inherently risky) way to potentially profit from a drawdown?

Q: I have sold AMZN and TTD to harvest a tax loss. I will buy both after 30 days. Can you suggest proxies for either or both of these or is it best to just wait it out.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: In yesterday's question on Xebec I meant to make it a public question instead of a private one so please feel free to post. I read your answer to the other question that day and it answers mine very well. In it you mentioned the valuation gap between XBC and its peers. Could you name some of those peers. I am considering selling at least half my position in Xebec and purchasing something in the same space. Thanks.

Q: The trend is negative breaking support. What is your take on IAG now and for the next two years? Should I take a capital loss and sell now or hold onto the stock?
Read Answer Asked by David on May 13, 2022
Q: hi 5i. I usually like to sell in times like these, to lock in the capital loss. I pair trade immediately after the sell, to stay invested, usually. the list is of my losers right now. are there any on the list you would not sell now and pair trade? and, can you provide a recommendation for each for another stock to pair trade with ( I am thinking hut8 for hive, perhaps nuvei for something? dsg for something? or maybe one name can replace 1 or more of the names. I would then most likely buy back the stocks I sold after the month of waiting is over, to lock in the losses. your thoughts/expertise is always appreciated. cheers, chris

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks
