Q: Hello 5I team: At one point I was down 87% on vet.Some how I had the conviction to hold. Now today when it broke 23$ I was finally ahead . Do you foresee enough upside potential for me to continue to hold and make back some of my grief or could you see a switch with more less risky upside.Lots of noise about 100$ oil. Appreciate very much your input and tks.Larry

Q: My position in ROKU has decreased to less than 1% with the losses it has taken from the highs (bought at $353/share). Would you recommend adding to it at these levels? How expensive is it right now? Is it at the high end of its peers? I am comfortable with risk, is held within my TFSA, and looking 5+ years hold.

Q: It feels like a gut punch. Down 20% today. Down 60% for 90 days ago. Sentiment is negative. It is now rated as Moderate Buy with 7 buy ratings and 5 hold (Tipranks).

A number of analysts have not rerated yet cause the earnings are so fresh.

The Balanced portfolio is now down +25% since inception of the position.

I am afraid (little late I guess) that the stock, not necessarily the company is broken.

I do not see a short to intermediate term catalyst that will turn this freight train around and just thinking, Where Are the Opportunities Now?


Sorry, still in a little daze about the drastic decline of this position. Not sure what to do at this point?

Q: What are your thoughts on the earnings. I hold stock in my account and joint account. Both are in Cash account.

Tax Purpose - When I sell do I need to Average combine both accounts. Or I need to report profit separately since one is in joint account and another my own account.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Both of these health care stocks fell significantly after reporting what appear to be decent earnings. They are both expensive -- less so now -- and high valuation stocks are currently being punished. But the drops seem overly harsh. Could you please comment on their earnings and guidance. Is this a good time to buy? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Would you please comment on GRMN earnings?
With regards to their future guidance for next year - Sales $5.0B up to $5.5B, GM% - 57.5% down from 58.0% (also down more so from previous years), Pro forma EPS $5.90 basically the same as this year at $5.82.
I like their $3.1B cash position.
Do you think supply chain issues are the main driver for their GM% reductions and thus their EPS in 2022 guidance? And do you see GRMN returning to their steady growth (single and sometimes low double digit) beyond 2022 and would you continue to hold this stock for the long term (5 years +)?

Q: Hello,
I have a decent amount of exposure to names such as Brookfield Renew., Enbridge, Fortis. Should we expect a large correction in these names if rates increase faster than expected (if so what would be your wild guess in % for a correction?) I am a long term holder and don’t need the income. I was hoping that rate increases would be mitigated by the inflation we are experiencing. I am trying to decide if I should sell some and replace with financials and technology. I am slightly overweight utilities and main reason was for stability / safety. Thank you!

Q: After watching the PMO office enact the EMA and then outline that financial institutions could arbitrarily lock you out of your accounts sent chills down my spine. Regardless of whether you agree with the protests going on or not, I find it worrisome that our government can just dictate that. This seems like a problem that could arise out of the blue and should have a plan of defense from it. What if any advice would you have in this regards?

Q: Cash that is held on a brokers platform like Wealthsimple, is it insured with CIPF like it would be if it was an invested stock, or is it handled differently in case of broker failure/bankruptcy ?
