Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am building a growth portfolio to mimic 5I -- and separate from my other holdings. I own BOS, CXR, DBO, KXS, PUR, SH and RRX at roughly 3% each.

Are all the holdings within the portfolio "buyable" at this time? i.e, do you have a preference in terms of 2 companies to add at this time, which might have more immediate "oomph". (For lack of a better word. I'm still caffeine-challenged at this time of day.)

Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I notice sometimes you suggest selling after a security rises quickly and sharply, but for the most part suggest selling related to fundamental changes or portfolio weighting.

For shopify my weighting is fine, but has risen $36 to $51 quickly. With limited info that it's around 3.5% of a diversified portfolio, is this one to take a little off the table or let ride given fundamentals & weighting?

Q: I patiently hold AVO (at an approx 20% loss) and see that it is still maintained within the growth portfolio. You've mentioned previously that it is a frustrating name. What would it take to lose your interest? Is there any sign(s) that it will begin to behave better or should I be prepared for a long, patient wait with this name? I like the space that it is in and can't see why it doesn't perform better.

As always, I appreciate you insight.

Q: Peter and Team:
Above is a list of stocks I hold in an more aggressive non balanced account with no bias towards weighting. (I also hold a more balanced portfolio modelled much after yours--thank you!).

I am down 20-50% on all of these. I was wondering if you thought there were any I should cut loose now in search of better opportunities. I am patient (somewhat) with a long time horizon.

Thank you for a wonderful,ever improving service.

Phil

Q: Good Morning
Magna and Exco make up about 9% of my registered account. I would like to add New Flyer based on your comments. Would you endorse a switch from XTC to NFI? Do you see NFI as auto related? I am concerned with my sector exposure.

Thank you
