Q: Some maintenance of my portfolio is long-overdue. I have been sitting on PBH, VEEV, and VZ which are all down about 30%. WELL is down about 50%, MG about 40%. Should I keep holding, or take the loss and pivot to something else? These are the worst performers, overall the entire portfolio is up 20% this year. Many thanks for your assistance.

Q: Stumbled on a Morningstar article which pointed out these companies share prices are relatively low in relation to their fair value. Wondering if you comment on these and if you think they have some potential for gains. If there is some opportunity with these, can you rate in order of your preference.
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Currently for healthcare exposure I own VEEV and WELL. I was considering replacing VEEV with either LLY or UNH. Would this be advisable? If so, which one would you recommend? Also, regarding Well would you recommend continuing to hold it; or selling it to make a switch for either LLY or UNH as well? What sort of mix here would you recommend? I am looking for long term growth here. Lastly...do you see the healthcare sector in general to be a good place to be right now?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: I’ve held VEEV and OKTA for a few years in a registered account but they have become a relatively small holdings. Are either of these worth adding to in order to increase their portfolio weighting, letting them ride for a while longer or perhaps selling one or both and consolidating the proceeds into something else. I’m a buy and hold type so don’t mind holding either of them but wondering about the opportunity cost of doing so.

Q: I understand that information technology stocks maybe "cyclical". Like for example, TTD may be more cyclical because it leans into communication for retail stocks. But for many, I'm having a difficult time deciding whether the above stocks are heavily, moderately or lightly cyclical. Please let me know how you would rate them for these 3 categories. Thanks for the help and please deduct credit that you consider is right for the work needed to answer my question.........Tom

Q: Hi team,
I don’t see any questions for your thoughts on todays earnings for Crwd, Veev, CRM so I will ask for your brief take on earnings and outlook for all 3. The market has liked the results on all 3 today which was a nice surprise. Do you still view these 3 stocks positively and advise holding for the long term growth stories? Thanks and deduct credits as required.

Q: I'm reviewing my portfolio to evaluate if there are any names i've held for a few years which haven't done much or i'm down on, and may be candidates to be sold and replaced with growthier names that have become more attractive. The 2 names that meet the criteria are VEEV and PGNY. With a focus on growth do you think either of these names should be sold and replaced or are they holds? Thx
