Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning, I have 32 positions spread between the two TFSA's that I manage. I'd like to get that down to 25. The above are holdings that have fallen to less than half positions and I'm wondering if you could suggest 6 or 7 for removal. Also are there any that you would add to in order to bring them up to half positions. Secondly, without knowing my weightings, do you have a suggested sector or two for this years TFSA contribution?

Q: A bit of a blast to the past....I have held on to Covalon following its dramatic decline. from a long time ago. It has been bumping up in the last while and is now over $2.00. Do you have any insight into why it has been increasing? Any thought about its prospects going forward? Would you want to add to a very small current position? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: The Company has sent out their year end shareholder information for the AGM. I note that three insiders own approx 51% of the Company.

Additionally, the Company has stated that it is reviewing all options and has created a committee to do so.

My question for 5i is, if the three majority shareholders wished to take the Company private, how would that occur, is there a threshold they would need to take it private, and what options are there for a shareholder?

Thanks

Q: I'm looking for some ideas on how to strengthen my healthcare holdings, which only account for 5% of my portfolio. I have a full position in NVO, half positions in CSH.UN and SIS, and have just started to build a position in the PSCH small cap health care fund. GUD and COV are technically present, but both are losers and small enough to ignore/sell.

Q#1: What additions/changes would you suggest for a retired person who is in pretty solid financial shape (5 year holding horizon, can tolerate some risk, but not aiming to shoot out the lights)?

Q#2: What percentage of the total portfolio would you aim to put in healthcare these days? It seems like there are a lot of developments in this field.

Q: With a 75% loss in the above companies, is it advisable to hold for a five year period for a good return on the present value as the sale proceeds would be quite small.
