Q: At present I own all of the stocks in your new model portfolio (not the income pfolio) and have some cash to employ to take advantage of market opportunities. With some of the stocks having declined significantly (CSU,STN,SYZ) would you add to one or more of these thinking that they are oversold; or would you add to the stocks with upward momentum (e.g.CSS,AYA,HCG, CCL) - or would you suggest doing nothing for the time being? Thanks for you help.
Q: I want to invest as per 5i Income Portfolio. But I already have 5% plus positions on BNS, ENB, and L. Can you suggested suitable replacements ? Or should I just follow the entire stock list. Thanks for your great service.
Q: I have set up my wife's RRSP account after the model portfolio. Since the start of April the portfolio is down about 3%. When you get Dividends etc. should we wait until we get a larger amount before we buy. Also should we buy the stock that is losing the most or buy the one that is gaining the most.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi Team Davis & Henderson
I purchased DH around $16.00 so I have a great capital gain. Since you have moved this to the Income Portfolio I assume you feel the rapid expansion is over and I should move on if I am looking for capital gains. Thanks Jim

Q: Hello Peter and Co.
I'm looking at your equity model portfolio, but I can't find the book value of your holdings; are they staring me in the face but can't see them?

Tony

Q: Hi Peter and Team:
Re: your model portfolio:
1. SYZ: volume is only 8950. should I buy at $8.8 now?
2. ENB: should I buy at $51 level or wait until there is pull back?
I bought most stocks as per your model portfolio and tries to buy at price same or lower than yours. for the last few days, performance was negative. Should I make any adjustment?
thank you

Q: Just some general comments on AYA that some members might find useful from one who has been investing for 25+ years:
1) If you have followed the model portfolio, AYA should represent a max of 5% of your holdings
2) Not every stock in the portfolio is going to go straight up from the outset
3) It is very difficult to anticipate and "play" market sentiment swings, which is clearly affecting AYA presently. Stay focused on what the company is actually doing.
4) Don't check your stocks every hour. Better to evealuate monthly or quarterly, along with company information released.
5) We are all here because we believe in Mr Hodson's insight. Follow his portfolio, stay with his suggestions, and I believe you will have an excellent chance to outperform the market. That is all anyone could realistically ask for.
Good luck fellow investors!

Q: Hello Peter,
I sent in a question a couple of weeks ago but didn’t receive a reply… so here goes again:
I was a bit surprised by some of your stock selections for the Income Portfolio, and also by some of the exclusions.
Loblaw, for example (a low margin business with big competition, small yield and only recent dividend increases) made the portfolio while companies in a somewhat similar space like THI, PBH, NWC, HLF, CSW, ADW, BPF (having generally higher yields/better 5 year dividend growth) did not. Can you explain why Loblaw?
If I follow your advice, is there a particular company in the names I mentioned that you feel would be best switched-out to acquire L?
Thank you very much,
Paul

Q: I would like to make investments as per your income portfolio. However I already have 5% holdings in BNS,ENB, L and T. Should I purchase other stocks in the same sectors or keep with your Model portfolio? If you think I should not duplicate, do you have any suitable replacements. Thanks for your great service.
Q: Good morning 5I
Glad someone asked about the model portfolio and if less than 100 thousand is worth it. With 50 thousand in my TFSA, which 10 of the twenty stocks in the model would you suggest?
As always,i value your insight.

Q: Good Morning 5i Team and thanks for such a great product. I am learning a lot from member questions and your responses.
Weighting of a portfolio is very important and in your model portfolio you keep the weightings around the 5% mark. For those who might have less than $100,000 such as in a TFSA account it seems almost pointless to purchase less than a board lot as any gains, while maybe nice on a percentage basis, may not add much in terms of value when trading fees are calculated in. In a smaller account one may only have 2 or 3 stocks and this would distort the 5% weighting practice.
My question is, at what portfolio dollar level would you consider moving closer to the 5% weighting recommendation?

Q: Quick question on FLOT. In the model portfolio it shows acb as $55.97. RBC is giving me a quote of $50.66 for April 1.

Q: Your model portfolios are a great aid in putting together my own investment portfolios, thanks for the great work. In your income portfolio spreadsheet, can you add a column to show the dividend increases for each stock, perhaps a percent growth over the past three years? Or would you consider that to be superfluous?
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I bought the 5 income ETFs from the 5i model income portfolio and have enough cash to buy 2 more stocks. Of the following I don't yet own, which would you consider to provide the best chances of reliable long term income?
BCE
DH
ETL
SPB
SGY
VNR
WSP
Please note I also already own all the other income stocks in the portfolio as well as Stantec and Telus if that affects your response. Otherwise I have a well-balanced portfolio.
Thank you very much. Michael

Q: Can you give 1 or 2 names of also rans for the model portfolio and the income portfolio i.e. You almost decided to put them in there. Many thanks for the great service.
Q: CVD as recommended in your new Income Portfolio has almost zero trading volume making it difficult to buy. Can you recommend an alternate?
Q: Hello 5i team
With the changes in your model portfolio and the new income portfolio I have some questions regarding making changes to my portfolio.
I have owned TransCanada Pipe Line for a while, bought at $36 so I have a nice capital gain. I see you prefer Enbridge which I have avoided because of its expensive valuation. I own TRP for income and growth, I have 1000 shares, should I swap for Enbridge? TRP is in my RRIF account.
I recently bought Precision drilling but this is not in your portfolio, I was diversifying into the oil and gas services sector. Would you recommend a swap with Black Diamond Group or do you have an alternate?
Thank you David.
