Investment Q&A

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

Q: In hindsight (which, as we know, is 20/20), I was overweight in tech and underweight in both materials (0%) and consumer cyclicals (4%). Given rising fears of inflation, I am of two minds.

A. Hold the course. Although four of my tech stocks are well below water - ARKK, KXS, U,and XBC - they are fundamentally in good shape and will rebound in time. And I've missed most of the upswing in materials and CC anyway.

B. Inflation is inevitable. I should sell off one or more of my tech losers (so I am no longer overweight in that sector), take the proceeds and invest in either materials or consumer cyclical to enable my portfolio to better cope with inflation.

If Scenario B is, in your view, the best to pursue:
1. Which tech(s) - and in what order - would you be inclined to sell?
2. If only one could be added to, would it be materials or CC?
3. What are your two favourite US consumer cyclicals today?
4. What are your two favourite US or Canadian materials today?

Many thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hi
Ignoring tech industry companies, are there any companies that you think will benefit from market changes that have/will occur as a result of Covid-19? Covid-19 has changed so many ways people do everyday things and companies that will benefit from this change are my target.

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?

Q: Hi 5i
I am looking to rebalance my consumer cyclical and defensive portions of my portfolio.
I would very much appreciate your recommendations on the better CDN and US stocks to consider in these areas. I have reviewed your portfolios and reports and am very much a dividend opportunist but would not shy away from growth

Thank you

Peter

Q: Hello Folks:
As the Covid situation has hastened the move to online shopping, some brick and mortar stores are going to have a much brighter future than others. Businesses such as Walmart and Best Buy appear to be having more success than others. I would appreciate your suggestions on choosing companies which have the brightest future integrating these two systems.
Thank you again for your great service!

Q: Good Morning Peter & team,

so... As per your comments couple of days ago referring to a positive outlook for ATZ being dependent on the Oct 14 earnings call, I am assuming??? the very positive move today (up over 8%) is a result of a good report yesterday?

If you could please provide your opinion of the recent ATZ Earnings Call and any forward looking opinions you may have.

Also, in consideration for the very negative a brick & mortar report (malls primarily) which I saw yesterday along with the very positive on-line shopping results reported, are there any other companies which are related to on-line shopping you think we should consider moving forward in 2021come as we/if we come out the other end of Covid? Also, please confirm ATZ & LSPD are considered Industrials.

ps... presently my portfolio has a 5% position ATZ & 4.8% LSPD

Thanks for all you do
