Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have 1.4% of my total portfolio in AMZN in a TFSA. I realize this isn't much of a commitment and am tempted to sell and invest the money instead in one of my other TFSA holdings (all of which are around 3%): LSPD, NVDA, APPS, ADBE or GOOG. Your advice, please.

Q: We have very little tech. exposure in our portfolios as a % - so minimal. Own IGM & ARKK in USD portfolio - IGM for 4 years - done very well. In TFSA, own STC, VHI, XIT ETF. All the others are on my list to purchase as not. I would buy equal positions - so, of those we do not own which three would you consider the best in the short and long term. I am mostly a dividend grower investor - companies that increase them every year; however, trying to add a bit of tech. Maybe there others not shown that meet my criteria?

Q: Good morning 5i
My tech sector within a RRIF is over 20% of CSU, LSPD, TOI, and KXS. KXS has been at a loss until today. Would this be an opportunity to trim back and what other sectors would you consider as buy opportunities going forward next 3-5 years. The RRIF is otherwise well balanced after following your growth and balanced portfolios.
Thanks for all the excellent advice.

Q: I don't see a recent answer for HUT8.
I know little about this company, yet a technical flag (Diamond Bottom, with $8.80 target in 60 days), caught my eye.
The Morningstar Quant report of July 30 shows a rating of Three Stars, with a PE of 10.2, and Fair Value of $7.42.
Sounds interesting.... if only I had a clue on how they make $$ and if the above factors are even relevant to a stock in this sector.
Many many thanks.

Thank you.

Q: Can I get your opinion on some publicly traded bitcoin mining companies. The only player in Canada I've come across is HUT 8.
Specifically:
1. Do you see these as actual viable companies / viable business models or just another play on rising bitcoin prices?
2. earlier this year [Feb/21] you noted you didn't see much differentiation between any particular publicly traded mining companies. Has that view changed since then.
3. Can you explain the massive rise in prices in late 2020 and the recent drop? Just tied to the price of bitcoin?

Thanks (as always) for the excellent service and assistance

Q: Hello,
I am looking to purchase a stock for my RRIF. I would like to have something fairly safe.
With Amazon/Google being so expensive I would only be able to purchase a small number of shares but with Amazon having recently pulled back is now a good time to start a position? Where it is a RRIF would the dividend of IBM be a better choice or TOI for growth?
Thanks very much.
