Q: Hi 5i,

Is there an explanation somewhere as to the meaning of the % at the bottom right corner of the Income Model Portfolio? The headings are: Portfolio; Benchmark; Active. An explanation of each line in the chart would help me understand the relevance.

Thanks for the help.

Q: Hello,
I have shares of CHE.UN that I am ready to sell... The timing to sell this company that is going nowhere in the last years seems adequate due to the decent rebound in price. Can you suggest some decent replacement options in the same category of asset class.

Thank you!

Q: I must progressively restructurate a non-registrated portfolio, recovered in early 2022 for self-managing... Here are the percentage of each stock vs all portfolio, and also indications (+/-) if they are at a profit or at a loss on paper. stocks at profit are: BIP.UN (8% of portfolio), CM 5%, DIR. UN 3%, BIPC 1%, BCE 5%, ENB 2%, SGR.UN 1,5%. Stocks at a loss are: BN.PF.D (5% pf portfolio), TRP 1.5%, VET 1.2%.
My objectives are in order: stability, dividends, and some growth if possible.
Some stocks represent a probably too high percentage of the portfolio, I would not sell them “only to rebalance the portfolio” if they are still safe (to avoid non necessary capital gain tax), but I shall sell if they represent a risk. On the other hand, I would not sell stocks with a loss if they respond to my objectives.
I have already balanced a good part of this portfolio with ETF and a selection of stable dividend stocks. Those are the remaining stocks from the original portfolio..
Please give me suggestions for each stock according to objectives as : keep, sell, or sell partly. All of your comments are always greatly appreciated.

Q: I'm at looking at the following companies to invest in next; how would you rank them based on current values?

Q: Hi,

Wondering about your opinion regarding copper and steel plays, given China's potential re-opening? Are these good options and if not, what else might you suggest instead?

Thanks!

Q: I am a 76 year old income investor. 3% of my portfolio is held in BIP, BIPC and BEP. I just sold my CU for my RRIF withdrawal. I now have about $40,000 with which to invest in our TFSA accounts. Analytics shows I need 5% more of healthcare, industrials and technology. I am thinking of adding BIPC.TO. and/or CPX to replace the CU. Please provide other income ideas.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

Can you explain how the “VIX” is related to the “VXX” ETF? I would have thought they should trade in tandem but they don’t even come close on some days (Example: Jan 3/23 VIX up $1.23 VXX down 8 cents).

Thanks
John
