Investment Q&A

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

Q: Should I continue holding Harmony Gold Mining or take my profit and run? I know that it has more risk the AEG or GLD, but it has a good trend right now.

Should I let it run, or take some profits? You have said before that Gold is insurance, and now that insurance is paying off. When is the right time to cash in, and should profits be put back into gold?

HMY is currently 4.5% of my overall portfolio, and that and Alacer (1%) are my only two gold holdings.

Q: I own HEWJ and ZDM as my International exposure (5% of my portolio). Neither are doing well, especially after the Brexit vote and I'd like to replace them with ETFs with a more positive outlook for the next 2-3 years. Your thoughts and recommendations please!

Q: I presently do not have any investments in US stock and am strongly considering changing that. I am currently watching the following US stocks and would appreciate your opinion on my selection..Apple, GE, Gilead, Wells fargo, Walt Disney,Honeywell and Canadian Solar. How would you rank them and are there other US stock that you would suggest I consider. Are there any in my list that you would not recommend. My investment goals are probably typical. I am looking for dividend income and growth over a 2/3 year period.

Q: Hello 5i team,
Although 5i Research does not follow normally US Companies I wonder if you have an opinion about Equinix a US Company that operates interconnected data centers across the globe. (EQIX) The share price has quadrupled since 2012 it seems to be in the right space benefiting immensely from Cloud Computing but it has a very high P/E multiple (289 according to www.theglobeandmail/globe-investor).

Thanks

Q: In these financial stocks I am currently up on PRU but down 13% with JPM and it looks as if these dollars are probably dead money for the next 6 to 18 months. I would like to reallocate the funds from one of them to the Staples or Industrials sectors. What are your thoughts on this? Which holding should be better to reduce, or sell completely, and would you have a preference for a reallocation at this time? Thanks.

Q: Good evening,
Walgreens is one of the larger and most successful holdings in my US portfolio. I am concerned that it may be particularly exposed to significant currency and other negative impacts from Brexit. Would you see any reason to retain this position? Or a portion of it? I hold a similarly large position in JNJ and smaller positions in GILD and CELG in the health space.
Thank you for your guidance.
