Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning all.

I currently have a portfolio weighting of 18.1% financials versus the recommended 15%. Individual stocks at 1/2 to full positions include the 4 banks, SLF, ING, MA, TSU, ONEX, BN and BAM. (I do need to consolidate I think).

All have been doing more or less what I would expect; except ONEX. It has been a frustrating stock to own, with a downtrend for the years, in my view, a management enrichment program.

The question - would it make more sense to shed this stock and perhaps one of the banks, then roll the funds into a BN or BAM.

Thanks as always!

Dave

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Long-time holder of CBZ, which has been a consistent performer.

The share price has dropped significantly today after an earnings miss and a coincident announcement to acquire Marcum. Not sure which event is contributing more to the share price reduction... or if it's both.

Could you please comment on the current situation and future prospects for CBZ. Is this an opportunity to add to my position? Or do you expect the share price to languish for a while? If so, how long?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!
