Q: Hello 5i,
My investments have grown nicely in 2021: thank you!
I’ve categorized the above assets into three buckets:
Technology: nvda,kxs,toi,csu =12.8%

Communication: goog,apps,kind =6.5% (goog is 5%)
Consumer discretionary: appl,shop,lspd =8% (lspd=<1)
Total= 27%
Please comment on outlay and provide ideas for improvement. Am I being too cute with my categorization buckets?
Many thanks for your opinion.

Q: My TFSA has too many holdings (with various weightings from 3 to 13%), and there appear to be some good buying opportunities at the moment with some of these. I quite like all of these stocks and need some help identifying which 5 or 6 to sell and which 5 or 6 to buy with sale proceeds (those which have been most punished for no good reason and fundamentals are still sound).

AAPL, ATA, BAM.A, ENPH, GSY, KXS, MMX, PBH, SIS, SHOP, TFII, VEEV, WELL, WSP

So far all I’ve come up with is

One on the chopping block: cleanup small position: MMX – also it strikes me as neither a growth nor income stock.

Definite keepers: ATA, ENPH, TFI, WSP (all seem to be thriving)

Thanks

Jim

Q: Both companies are trading at roughly a third of their 52 week highs. Being such you have answered recent questions saying they are expensive. I assumed they wouldn't be. At what price are they not expensive and what metric do you use for this. I'm trying to improve my investing skills and make some sense of this.

Thanks Steve

Q: I'm lacking in Consumer Defensive, Industrials, and Basic Materials. Please provide some names you like in each of those sectors.

I'd prefer safe income stocks but I'm open to hear a couple growth suggestions.

Q: My virtual 'conservative growth' portfolio has the above 10 stocks in equal wights. What two stocks would you add to round it out please? Please assume that I have 45% outside of this portfolio in fixed income. Are 12 stocks enough in your view? I know there are many factors but please answer the best that you can ... maybe assume it is you.

Q: Since both stocks have been hit hard of late - for similar reasons. Which stock would you think has the best chance of short-term recovery and long-term success. I own some NVEI shares but was wondering if it might be good to trigger the loss and replace with LSPD shares if it had a stronger outlook. Or if going a more conservative route - what 3 or 4 stocks would you say have decent growth prospects and good valuations and could pick up a decent amount of shares if have about $5k?
