Investment Q&A

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

Q: For my 6yr old daughter's RESP I hold 50% in XBAL and ~12.5% in the 4 securities listed. When I make my next contribution I am looking to add another position.

Given a 10 year timeframe before the funds are needed what are some names that you would consider to complement the existing holdings?

Q: I am setting up a TFSA for my wife. I have been managing my own TFSA for 7 years but my wife has maintained her account with a BMO investment advisor. We also both have RIFs managed by the same advisor. My TFSA has far outperformed the accounnts managed by the professional (thanks to your advice) but my wife is very risk adverse. She has about $100 K to invest. We are both in our 70s and don't have pressing needs for the cash. Could you. suggest a basket of Canadian/US stocks/etfs that would provide some low risk growth with a 10 year horizon.

Q: Hello 5I
I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and Thank you for all you do for us.
I recently bought some Honeywell (HON)shares thinking that the spinout that they announced was a good move. I was comparing them to Fortive (FTV) (Not many past questions on this company) and now I am not sure if they are the better vehicle. Could you please weigh in on this and if needed, add any other name thar you may like more. I am not worried about tax implications of selling. Which direction would you take if it was your portfolio?
Once again, Thank you
Jeremy
