Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your are in a contest with "Joe" to pick the best 10 stock portfolio over the next 5 years. Best total return wins. Must have 2 Canadian stocks from each of these categories : technology, energy, consumer, industrial, and small cap (max $1 billion Cdn market cap to qualify as small cap). Since you are pros, Joe got to go first. He picked SHOP and CSU in tech, SU and TOU in energy, ATD.B and QSR in consumer, BN and WSP in industrial and WELL and CTS in small cap (he's a 5i reader, so he knew to pick several of your best ideas). What 10 stocks are you going to select to try to beat him?

Q: In your answer to Terry today you stated "we would suggest also looking at sector exposure in this decision, to see that sectors align with objectives." My objective is to secure a very comfortable retirement that includes travel with investments that are as tax efficient as possible. I'm 63, and struggling with my sectors. How would one with align their sectors with this objective. I know sectors are a personal decision and you can't give personal advice but I'm looking for an example as a starting place to make my decision. Thank you
