Investment Q&A

Q: Your thoughts on NRT please

Q: In the webinar you spoke about CASY. I did some research and really like this company. Performance has been outstanding, +44% YTD.

I own 5000 shares of ATD and it in contrast has been languishing - 7% YTD and at the same level as September 2024.

Do you think this would be a good switch, ATD to CASY?

Q: What does your crystal ball say about US inflation heading into 2026? With equities looking vulnerable as they bouncing along the top, bonds also seemed poised to drop if prices rise more. In a conservative portfolio, what would be your equity/fixed income mix...and I assume you would stay short on most bonds.

Q: I'm OK waiting for my answer to this question into Jan 2026, I had some time now so wanted to pen my question.

Every year I do a year end review of my portfolio's, one thing I look at is weightings. A couple years ago I asked 5i a weighting related Q wrt Brookfield. I had BN, BAM, BEP and BIP I had roughly 4% weighting in each, 16% total Brookfield exposure. This same question has been asked by other 5i members and you have been pretty consistent with your advice. I wanted to know if it was OK being a splitter vs a lumper, ie, I have 4 stocks at 4% weighting, you were comfortable with that but did caution about much more wrt 16%.

So, here I am, asking myself a similar kind of question with a different twist. Alphabet now makes up +/-16% of my portfolio weighting. 16% weighting in a single stock is likely too much, I get that. The twist I referenced is looking at Alphabet in terms of the various business lines. Search (advertising), You Tube, Chrome, Data Centers, Waymo, various Ai elements - Gemini, TPU's etc, Pixel, Android etc. Yes, I have 16% of my portfolio in Alphabet, but I'm wondering if it's OK to look at it as 6 significant lines of business at 16% weighting. In this scenario, I'd have 2.5% to 3% weighting per business line making it more palatable.

I'm interested in your thoughts

Q: What do you think to invest on RUN .

Q: ROOF recycles reshingles. They shred a shingle and produce 3 different products. The marketplace has a different cycle wherein they shred a shingle to produce road tar. Does ROOF have enough of a differentiator in its product line to sustain the viability of the company long term. Could you provide your opinion on this company's valuation and long term outlook for the next 3 - 5 years?

I have just become a new member; I read questions every day and I am very pleased with the information and website that you have developed. Thank you. I am a regular investor, but as a novice investor your guidance is invaluable.
