Q: Hi 5i,

I’m a conservative investor who doesn’t like a lot of volatility. I want to diversify a little more from my banks, utilities, and Reits to get a little more growth. I like KXS but can’t handle that amount of volatility. Do you think TIXT would be more appropriate? Is it a good time to purchase at $36? I own OTEX and have no problem with its volatility.

Thanks
John

Q: I have 2.5% position in KXS which I’ve had since March 2020 in my RRSP - thank you for the suggestion.

I have a new 1.4% position in XBC in my TSFA which is under water by 25% as of today.

If you had 3% in cash to deploy would you increase on or both of these or find something else?

Forgetting diversification- long term holding so a min 5 year investment horizon.

Q: I have these tech companies in my TFSA. Can you tell me which companies you like and which you don't and why? Do you think I have too many Tech companies? I show a profit in all but KXS, CGY, NVEI. Thanks 5i.

Q: Hi 5i,

To piggyback on the answer to Josh on recommendations for a TFSA:
We have BAM.A and GSY already. We can add to these stocks or in the short-term would cruise (CCL:US) or vacation booking stocks (SABR) that are cyclical and "hot" be preferred over BAM.A, GSY or KXS? It is a higher impact, shorter play theme (1 year or less).

Can you help us understand the selection of KXS? EBITDA and Sales Growth are forecasted to be lower next year though EPS getting a big boost next year. We can't wrap our head around the growth potential to have KXS in a TFSA. We now have this stock in an RRSP.

Thank you for your awesome service.

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Good morning. I'm trying to decide on whether to add to my existing KXS or start a new position in either DND or TOI. I have a long time frame. Are the prospects for DND/TOI compelling enough to start one or even two new positions or should I just build on KXS, which you suggested way back and which has been a stellar performer.

Q: Over the years CSU has been building in my TFSA and UnReg account to the point where it is too large of a single holding. I am thinking of selling enough to buy two stocks and keep an equal amount of CSU. Thoughts are buy KXS and TOI. I would very much appreciate your suggestions/thoughts on this please. Open to US ideas as well. Thanks again.

Q: According to the portfolio analyzer, I need to reduce my tech. These are the companies I own (I'm not entirely sure WELL belongs on this list). Where should I start with reducing? Probably 2-3 names, or a partial disposition of a few. I'm up on all. Thanks!

Q: Hi - I recently subscribed to Portfolio Analytics and I was looking at the suggested sector allocations of which I am out of whack.
