Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm thinking that there's probably not a better time to enter some stocks I don't hold but want to own, than during the turbulent September / October timeframe.

Are there any of the above you would stay away from at current prices due to (over)valuation, downside risk, potential implosion.

Unfortunately, I have previously owned stocks that have left a huge scar (Nortel, NIKO Resources, Poseidon Concepts, Concordia), and want to avoid a similar fate with current high flying stocks.

Thanks for your input

Q: I own the following in my US-denominated TFSA:

ADBE, DAL, FIVE, PYPL, PAYC, TOL, SLQT, GOOG, AL

The goal of this account is high-conviction, long-term growth strategy, focused on eight US equities, with a risk profile somewhere in between that of your Balanced and Growth portfolios.

A) If I had to sell one of the 9 holdings listed, which should it be?

B) Are there any others that should be sold in light of the investment goal stated?

C) Which of these should I add to, if any, or, which new postition should I consider (US market only) that would complement the existing positions well? Please note that I am already fully-weighted/over-weighted in FIVE, GOOG, PYPL, and PAYC.

Thank you. Please deduct the appropriate number of credits as needed.

Q: 5i has stated in the past that the above companies have no debt (LNF "very little debt") - is that still the case? If possible, can you please name 5 additional good CAN and 5 US companies that have no debt or very little?
Thanks!

Q: I currently hold the listed equities in my TFSA, advised by a newsletter that will be winding down in a year. When this happens, I will likely liquidate my current TFSA holdings. Understanding that you cannot give personal advice, which of the following strategies do you think would be most likely to generate a longterm annualized return of 10+%?

1) Allocate the proceeds to 30% ZSP, 30% VGG, 20% XEF, 20% VEE, and hold these longterm, rebalancing annually to maintain original allocations
2) Allocate the proceeds in the 5i Growth Portfolio - I am already overweight Canada in general, so I don't really like this option
3) Allocate the proceeds into 5i's favourite growth/total return potential 8-10 US equities at the time, and then periodically ask 5i say, every three months, if there has been any change in this roster of 'favourites', (if you select this, I will ask for specific names in a followup question)

Parenthetically, I would absolutely love it if 5i would add a US-based portfolio to go along with the current three Canadian-focused portfolios, and would be willing to pay significantly more for my annual subscription to access this (reviewing the QandA, one already has a good idea what the 5i ' US favourites' are, it would just be nice to have this presented as a regular growth-oriented portfolio). I reviewed the Investor Suite and don't feel I would make good use of many of the tools, reports, and features offered in that comprehensive suite.

Thank you, and please deduct as many credits as deemed appropriate.

Q: What's your opinion on TJX for growth? Would you consider the recent drop an attractive buy point or are there better alternatives for growth in the sector?

Q: I asked you about the earnings on xlnx yesterday and I see the questions and answers today on this company.

I have a somewhat significant loss after today as I’m into it around $130 per share on 3,000 shares but fortunately I have gains in Veev and Five that outweigh the loss on xlnx. I tend to hate owing anything at a loss as I lack patience and I worry about a turning of momentum. I don’t know whether to do nothing or sell one or more of my other holdings and go home with a profit and my tail between my legs. May I please get your advice? Thanks I’m advance.
