Investment Q&A

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

Q: Portfolio Analytics has suggested I reduce of my exposure in the Financial Services sector. My holdings consist of ACGL and BN at a full position plus AD.UN, BNS, and TD at a 1/2 position each.

My thought is to reduce BN to a half postion and sell AD.UN (after the current uptrend). I would keep ACGL for its International exposure and diversification. The banks, I just consider a long term hold

Is a full position of ACGL too high?

Is there a suggested balance amongst the subsectors?

Any other comments would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Alaris reports on March 13. I already have a mostly full position (relative to it's market cap and risk level....ie; not a full position like some of the blue chips I own, like BCE, BNS, FTS, RY, TRP, etc.), but am considering adding a bit more at this level. Good USA small cap exposure with a great dividend and good upside potential (at least I think so).

Add before they report or after? Ya I know....don't add based on one quarterly report. Your current thoughts on Alaris please.

Thanks...Steve

Q: Good day team,

A few companies I'm invested in are in a loss position so far.

AQN 42% loss
AD 16% loss
CJT 22% loss
GSY 22% loss

At this point which stock do you think I should keep, which one sell, and which one replace and with what?

I'm retired and 73 years of age.

Take as many points as needed.

Thank you
John G.

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings. I try not to think of a stock as a "hold". There are lots of high quality names you can invest in that look better than a "hold". If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?

Q: Hello,

I would appreciate your thoughts on how the arrival of new diabetes/weight loss drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro) might potentially impact the future revenues at Body Contour Centers? Could the advent of these new medications not have a significant potential impact on the existing players in the weight loss space?

Are you able to provide an estimate of what proportion of Alaris Equity Partners' existing annual income is attributable to their investment in Body Contour Centers?

Thank you!
