Q: Hi team, I have these companies in my TSFA. Can you rank these stocks based on highest potential gains (catalysts) in the next 12-24 months? They are equal weight and I will need to liquidate 50% of them within the next year or so. I know short term predictions are difficult but best guestimates are appreciated

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service and continued improvements. I find the new Portfolio Analytics section very helpful. Long winded question here so please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

I am overweight in tech, at 40% overall. I have 40% tech in both my RRSP and TFSA.

The biggest names I have are AAPL 9%, TEAM 6%, and NVDA 6%. All of those are held in the US side of my RRSP.

I have a mix of 15 stocks in my TFSA, roughly equal weighting. The tech holdings in there are PHO, KXS, CSU, SYZ, SHOP. Each comprises about 6% of the TFSA but just over 1% of overall holdings.

I am 7-8% underweight in:
consumer defensive,
communication services,
industrials,
utilities.

I feel I should trim back or sell at least one of AAPL, TEAM or NVDA but hard to given they have all been growing and have potential to grow further. Are there any obvious choices to cut or pull back here? Can you please suggest at least one name from each of the following sectors:
consumer defensive,
communication services,
industrials,
utilities.

thanks !
Mark

Q: Hi 5i I was stopped out kxs this morning when it dropped to $76.13 and $.02 below my stop and then recovered to to over $77. My question is should I be selling at some point close to the stop and if so how would you determine when. I know you are all about buy and hold but in a time of uncertainty I would rather limit my losses. That said I do suspect that the market makers are manipulating the price to take the little guys stops out and profit at their expense. To frame this as a clear question can you recommend a strategy to minimize needless losses or suggested reading on the subject.
thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I’ve changed my investment goals for my children’s resp. It will be spent within the next 6 years, so after the December correction I plan to liquidate. At this point, I have $5 k more than I promised them. The stocks listed above are those that remain in the account.
Going forward should I:
1) sell all the stocks and buy an etf for 5k?
2) if an etf, which one for max growth?
3) if one were to keep only one or two stocks, which would be kept for most potential for gains? (This would be instead of the etf).

I would not have grown the resp to its current value had it not been for 5i. Thank you for helping me fund my kids education!

Q: Hi,

I have losses that I am holding in ITC, CRH, and WCP inside my TFSA. I would like to sell one or all of these in order to add to some of the other names listed. In which order would you sell first, as well as which ones would you add to right now considering where the stock is trading at currently? Thanks!
