Q: Hello Peter,

I am planning on making a 30% capital contribution to my stock portfolio. With my holdings predominately being the Balanced Equity Portfolio, which stocks are OK to add to given the latest market activity and specific company outlook, regardless of weighting?

Thanks,
Angelo

Q: Hello 5i

I'm thinking of selling both MDA and EFN (down 30% on each), and consolidating them into MAL. Do you think this would be a good switch? I understand that EFN is unrelated to the two others, but it's a small holding and I would like to consolidate it into a more attractive name.

Thanks,
Jordan

Q: Hi guys.
Feeling a bit deflated. I joined pretty recently and decided to take a chunk of cash and put into your highest rated stocks above. In a short couple of months I am down almost 10%. Every one has lost money. Are they still all in favour. Do I just plug my nose and wait? Also, I have some short term cash I need to park. Was going to put half in Apple with the recent pull back....thoughts? Any other ideas for a two month hold?
thank you

Q: About a month ago, a member asked about the above companies, and you responded that you considered PBH riskier (although not *that* risky overall). In light of the AMZN move, do you still consider PBH riskier? I hold L, should I switch to PBH? For longterm, hopefully indefinite hold. Thank you.

Q: Could 5i please list the companies that are no longer followed or no longer in portfolios due to under-performance? The dates they were pulled would be great too. Thank you.

Q: Am looking over your 3 portfolios to fill some holes in my portfolio.The above 6 in your portfolios have not done well and I was wondering what is your reason for keeping them.Maybe they are all buying opportunities or are there better alternatives?

Q: As a conservative investor/retiree with a diversified portfolio looking for income and some growth, I am considering Enbridge (now own TRP). Sources mention Enbridge's pipeline of growth opportunities and anticipated 10% - 12% annual dividend increases through 2024. These projections "feel" optimistic, given the large debt taken on to acquire Spectra? Does 5i feel the debt/equity mix was appropriate on the Spectra purchase? Does 5i see any reason to be concerned about "culture clash" between the management groups or other integration risk? Thank you for your comments. Edward
