Q: Hi 5i Team,
I would like to take some money out of a savings account and have it accumulate dividends in my TFSA over a 5 year time period (I will need it at that time). I was wondering in the income portfolio, which of the ETFs/stocks would be the least volatile or the smallest of price movement that pays a good dividend over this amount of time?

Thank you,
Andrew

Q: Like many of your customers, I am on a learning curve thanks to the many facets of your services.

My question is what would the smart "investor" do with ITC?

I bought the stock recently and very quickly am down 16%.

Should I not have bought it .... given that it was close to its high; and waited for it to comeback down as it has now?

Just hold?

Buy more?

I am OK with the risks and volatility of this kind of company, but the size of the decrease is concerning.

Thanks for your guidance here.

My questions in pertaining these 2 high risk and volatile stocks that I currently hold: Photon Control--pho (4% position) and Synergy Pharmaceutical--sgyp (7% position). Both have come down and I was wondering if you would add to each. I have somewhat of high risk, high potential reward tolerance and 1 to 2 yr wait and see timeline. Thx

Q: My percentage market allocation presently in Altus, Kinaxis, and Open Text are 4.41%, 7.38%, and 3.85% respectively. Perhaps I'm top heavy in Tech stocks, though I plan to boost OTEX to a full position down the road. Would it make sense to sell AIF and replace it with either GUD or CRH since I hold no medical stocks at this time? You have helped my analytical skills tremendously, though I'm not good as digesting financial statements.

Thanks for this and keep up the good work.

Q: I would like to make a substantial new investment based on your balanced portfolio with funds transferred recently into my LIRA account from another institution. Instead of buying everything now would you be able to group them into "acquire now" and "can wait" or similar buckets? You can also suggest new names.

Thank you for your most valuable service that I just renewed. Peter
