Q: I am a growth investor with an 8 to 10 year timeline. Regardless of sector weightings, in the current market would you either start a new half position in Parkland Fuel OR top up to from a 4% to a full 5% weighting in Kinaxis, Savaria Spin Master and Premium Brands? Thanks in advance, Greg.

Q: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."

Q: Hi,

I just took my loss for RHT. In my TFSA, so that stings a little... but its all good, I'm plus 225% in SHOP and plus 30% in KXS.

Question - which of these 2 companies should I be topping up today, SHOP or KXS? the small sale proceed from RHT is not big enough to start a new position, and my TFSA is capped out.

Thank you.

Q: I need to raise a bit of cash, and would like to take it from the Tech Sector which is a 23% weighting in my portfolio. I have 9 tech stocks in total. The top 4 largest holdings (approx 15% each of my tech holdings but none of them exceed 5% of my total portfolio) are KXS, OTEX, SHOP , SYZ.
Any thoughts on which one(s?) would, at this time, be best to trim ?
As always, thanks for being there !

Q: Hi guys,
I hold one ETF and a mix of equities (selected from your portfolios) in my TFSA, with the following weightings:
COV 5.48
CSU 6.70
GSY 5.42
KXS 4.93
PBH 4.26
PHO 4.50
SHOP 7.57
SIS 6.59
TOY 6.05
TSGI 5.63
VUN 30.35
WEED 12.51
Everything is up from initial purchase (many thanks) but some have grown much faster than others. I am considering rebalancing and/or adding a new position. Is there a notable position that you would add/remove (e.g, VUN in exchange for equities)? I have VXC and VCN in my RRSP so maybe VUN is better located in there.
Thanks for the amazing service and knowledge base that 5i provides.

Q: VMD is up 300% since March while of RHT drop more than 50%. They were supposed to be in the same space and RHT was supposed to be the better company. It makes lower lows every week with no end in sight. Is there any other option that will provide growth in a TFSA account.?

Q: 16% of my portfolio is made up of the above listed stocks.
All are relatively volatile compared to the rest (84%) of my holdings
Do you consider these holdings and their weights to represent excessive risk to a portfolio?
Which of these stocks would you keep and which would you sell to reduce the risk?
Many thanks
John
