Q: I have managed to recover my portfolio to my December balance and have decided to move to a more conservative position while these unprecedented times continue. I hold the above stocks at approximately 2.5% each and would like to move to a 20% total. Would you recommend adding to these positions, selling some and adding something different, or just adding new. I have a well balanced portfolio and am retired without a pension so secure income is preferred.

Q: What baffles me is that no matter what price ENB is at it's always favored by I-5, although in essence it has become a garbage investment! Thankfully I exited at $55 and never looked back!
