Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you please comment on StoneCo results. Absolutely horrific stock price movement. What has me perplexed is how the big money has invested in this(ie- Berkshire etc..), are they expecting long term upside? If you owned $50 average would you cut bait and move on or ride out long term?

Q: Good morning. I have VALE in my registered account, with a much lower value than cost. It does pay a substantial dividend and I am aware that it also has cash. Is it reasonably safe to hold since materials are doing fairly well generally? Should I consider reducing my position or selling? Is it safe to hold with its high dividend at this time?

Q: Hi 5i,
For the equity part of my portfolio I'm looking to diversify internationally. As a percentage of my total equity portfolio I'm thinking 4%VXUS 2%DLS and 2%DIM. Is 8% international stocks a reasonable number for a conservative investor and is there maybe a better way to adjust the percentages? The equity portfolio will be rebalanced yearly. The bonds and cash part of the portfolio have not been included this is strictly equity.
Thanks

Q: I have a small position in a British company (Avon Protection) which supplies body armour to the US military. The shares crashed over 40% today on a profit warning. Useful to have a second opinion from some pros. Buy sell or hold?

Do you think slide due to Chinese real estate and the country’s policy to tech companies likely to continue and what sectors do you think will be most affected. Thanks for your insight.

Q: I bought RIO at around $76 US and it has been going down ever since. I plan to hold on to this stock for 3+ years and just wondering if this is sector related?
If it's sector or cyclical related, would you pick up a bit more at the lower price or wait until there is momentum again?

thanks,

Paul

Q: What are your top 10 ETF’s to hold forever?
Would you buy them on the US or Canadian markets if available. I know some of the US listed ETF’s are more liquid. Thanks
