Q: Would you buy ATZ below 20$.?

Q: This is a portfolio management question. I help manage my retired sister’s stock portfolio; it consists of 36 generally high-quality companies, with focus on Canadian dividend-paying stocks (as she benefits from favourable taxation of eligible dividends); the portfolio has done very well over the years (thanks to advice from 5i); the philosophy is generally "buy-and-hold" with minimal turnover. Portfolio breakdown is roughly 60% Canadian (many with U.S./international focus, e.g., TD, RBI, TRI, etc.), 30% US, 10% foreign. All 36 stock holdings are 2.0-5.0% positions (median weight, 2.7%), except Aritzia (ATZ), which due to declining share price is down to only 1.4% weight. My question is: what to do with a stock like Aritzia? the portfolio management style would be to add to this position, given that it is fallen a lot, and the expectation is that it will recover, and potentially do quite well, in the long-term. On the other hand, there is a risk of continuing bad performance, and one doesn’t want to add good money after bad (the ATZ cost base is already near the median for the 36-stock portfolio). So, from a portfolio management perspective, how would you handle such a stock that has fallen quite a bit below the 2.0-5.0% target weighting of the rest of the portfolio. (Further, it doesn’t pay a dividend, either.)

Q: Aritzia stock was done close to 4 per cent today. I read an article that looks like it came out today that exposed problems with the work place culture and complaints from employees. I didn’t see other news. Do you think this is the reason to the Stock decline and do you think this will have a material impact on the stock short and long term based on similar past situations a companies

Q: I manage my son's TFSA and have just sold his NVDA shares at a 200% profit. Many thanks for 5i's excellent advice on this purchase! He needs the money next year and I felt - after a good run - it was time to play it safe and cash in. I would now like to reinvest the funds in a less volatile stock - in any sector - that still has reasonable growth prospects over the next year. CSU comes to mind (and I know you're a big fan). MSFT and GOOG already owned. What would be your top three choices for replacing NVDA - Canadian or US? Thank you,

Q: with so much extra copper needed in the future ,because of EV and clean energy what are your thoughts going forward on the copper price in the future?
It seems to me a no brainer as building a mine will not happen overnight either.
How would you play this as an investor?

Q: I hold EQB in my income portion of the total portfolio. Where as 5iR allocates EQB to the Growth Portfolio which I don't have as a portion of my total portfolio. After reading the recent flash report of EQB, I'm inclined to now hold it in my Balance portion of the total portfolio. What do say you about this EQB transfer in my portfolio portions??? Also, I hold TRI that is now in the income portfolio. What do you say about transferring it to the Balance portion of the overall portfolio??? Thanks for the guidance......as I like to hold 20% in Income, 40% in Balance that is all Cdn and 40% in US stocks with more of a stronger tilt to growth that includes technology and healthcare........Tom
