Q: Hello 5i staff
I have a portfolio consisting in a few etf’s and a few stocks for the American side. One of these is a small cap etf. On the Canadian side it have mostly large blue chip stocks. CSU, BNT, etc. These are mostly at the full 5% quota. I keep some of these smaller stocks, I suppose because I enjoy winning. The problem, though, is that I hate losing. I keep the amount of these smaller stocks small because of that fear of losing, I suppose. They are often between one and two per cent of a fairly large portfolio, which is low percentage wise, but still quite high dollar wise. I am an advancing senior with moderate risk profile. Have a modest pension, which allows us mostly to live without touching investments. I have been wondering lately whether I should just bite the bullet, take the risk and add more to these fast growers ( and from time to time, fast losers) or whether I should just sell them all and consolidate in the larger stocks and etf’s. especially since I can say that I have won the game? Perhaps I could keep a few for fun. But, I guess that is what I am doing now. I know that you cannot give personal advice. But, I find that you usually have interesting things to say about these kinds of situations. As well, it has been cathartic and possibly helpful for me just to frame the question.
Thanks for all the help you offer us

Q: Dou think this is agood entry point for Stella Jones? What is your opinion of the stock> Thanks
Q: Just to build on the question from Allan today (Nov. 8th) and your answer, can you re-visit your most recent report on SJ and make some comments on what what might change if you were updating that report today? I consider your reports a fundamental and valuable component of your service, and when I re-read your report with the information that we now have there are few things that don’t seem to track. Based on the ratings criteria is this now a B+ (or even B) company? I know “post-mortem” is too dramatic, but maybe a report “de-brief” is in order?
