Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
I'm young and have good income, good risk tolerance and no need to withdrawal any of my investment dollars anytime soon. I'm looking for long term growth mostly. Currently I hold the listed stocks, do you see any names that jump out as really bad/ should sell? Is anything really lacking and maybe should be added? Right now everything is held in a tfsa.

Thanks!
Dave

Q: I have been thinking about selling Riocan a bit concerned about the dropping price. I am in a positive position. In a previous questions I asked your opinion on PD. If I sell this position I was thinking of selling on the US side and have the funds deposited to the US side of my portfolio. My discount broker is TD and sure how that would work and would like to know your opinion. Thank you

Q: Good afternoon 5i. I am currently sitting with 25% cash on the side lines. I know that's much too high. I have avoided gold/silver sector as well as oil sector(I do have enb, trp, fts)I've also avoided consumer goods sector. I'm light in industrials (dow & cbi) and property sectors (tcn). All other sectors are represented fully and equally ie health/financials/tech. I have a 65/35% split between US/CDN market respectively. With the stock market correction today and yesterday would it be a good buying opportunity and what sectors should I focus on going forward and if you can offer some stock suggestions in each sector. Much appreciated.

Q: Hello team,
Thank you for the portfolio review. It is a great help and a terrific service to mankind. All my ducks are now in a row after a lot of quacking but now all is calm.
Question: When you write that segregated positions should be 2% and ETF's 5%:
is that 2% of:
1)just only the equity,
2)the complete portfolio including paid up residences and safety expenses cash, or
3)the complete trading portfolio including fixed?
Is that 5% of
1. All the ETF's,
2. 5% of just the fund ETF's and 5% of the fixed ETF'S separated out?
3. 5% of the complete portfolio as above?
4. 5% of the complete trading portfolio?
thank you

VUN , more than 10%
SHOP, 15%
Is MX safe for the next 6 months?
Can you suggest a replacement for NPI?
SIS has grown more than 70%. Do you recommend selling 50%
I know this is more than 1 question, just charge for them all.
