Q: Due to extraordinary volatility, I have reduced above stocks to minor positions and have looked at healthcare stocks. Not sure, whether this approach is realistic. Technology seems still to be surging after setbacks. Your assessment is appreciated.
Thank you, Team!

Q: As I start my 6th 16-year-old grandchild off on his investing journey with $500, I am writing to ak if you have a suggestion for a growth stock to complement half of the total invested in conservative BCE. He is hoping - at very long odds - to match his older (now 18 with an account in his own name) brother who chose SHOP to go along with BCE. I know this is a tough challenge, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

In my TFSA, I have FTS, KXS, PBH, PHO, SIS and WPK. Currently I am down on PHO (30 %) and SIS (20%) and the others are doing ok. Do you think the mix is right for a long term outlook? If not, could you recommend what to swap out and replace?

Thanks again for all your great work.

Q: Your Analytics program has provided a convenient tool to see the weightings in my overall portfolio. From this I have learned that while there are some with larger percentages I have many positions between 1 - 2% weighting. Sometimes this resulted from my having initiated small purchases and sometimes from falling share values. In any event, I wonder if I am spread too thin? I guess one part of this is that the small positions will not move the dial. On the other hand, quite often your members ask what you might recommend when looking at choosing between 2 stocks and the answer suggests having both, for better diversification.
1. So my first question is whether positions of 1 - 2 % are too small or is this good diversification?
2. In this context, my next questions are about positions of 1.57% and 1.42% in Enghouse and Kinaxis; are these positions too small and if so, which would you sell and which to keep / add to? And similarly, positions of 1.39% and 1.18% in Parex and Suncor. If these positions are too small, which to sell and which to keep / add to?
3. In a similar vein, I have one or two positions that have suffered from considerable declines in share value and there is .36 and .56 of a position. What should I do if I do not want to sell, either because I still believe in the prospects or because it is too painful to sell just now. I often see your answers suggesting you do not believe in averaging down but holding such a small position seems not effective.
4. My last question is about Constellation Software. It is of course one of the better performers and partly as a result presently I have a weight of just under 3.5%. Given its success, would you recommend adding to have a larger position, and if so, how much?

Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi,
I need to increase my Technology Sector. I started with full positions in CSU, which has doubled, and KXS (which is flat), and a half position in Open Text.

What would you do hear to increase my sector holding by 50%?

Thanks,
Robert
