Investment Q&A

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

Q: TFSA: I treat this account as my bank account because I earn no interest in my checking account which typically has fairly high cash balances and I have other investment accounts accounts that generate a ton of dividends as I am basically a "dividend grower" investor. I am retired and earn more than enough to live on. I own these tech. stocks: ETF IGM, ETF ARKK, and NIO ( I guess not a tech stock). I have approx. $35K in my TFSA to invest. I know you like KXS, SHOP & LSPD - I do not see the same returns as has happened this year and they are not value at this point IMHO. ERGO, three or four of your best suggestions going forward - equal weighting please.

Q: Recommendation sought for investing new TFSA contributions. Expected drawdown on TFSA to start in 4 - 6 years.
My wife and my combined TFSA holdings are about 18% of our total portfolio, and the combined TFSA holdings are made up of:
PRMW & KEL <1%
PXT 3%
BCI 4%
BAM 7%
SIS 8% (20% loss)
XAW 8%
KXS 11%
VGRO 55% (the only investment also held in other accounts)
Cash 3% plus new contribution
I'm considering WELL (for growth) and FTS (for dividend & stability), possibly TFII?, or add a bit to PRMW (none of these are held in other accounts), for the new money.
Reasonable? Appropriate? Other recommendations?
Thanks for all you do, and I wish all of you a healthy & happy year.

Q: Happy new year to 5i team!

I own the companies listed above within TFSA in equal positions of 8-10% except KXS where I am at 3% position.
I will add 6K to TFSA in 2021
Option 1: Buy more KXS with new money
Option 2: Buy XBC with new money
Option 3: Sell REAL and buy both KXS and XBC

In your opinions which of above option has better growth potential

Q: I own XHC in a registered account. No heathcare in my non-registered account, looking to pick up 2-4% position. GUD and WELL have lots of info in the reports, similar comments on cash and acqisition strategy but the charts are very different. What one would you prefer for 4% or 2% each? Any others that I should consider / review?
Thanks,
Travis

Q: How would you rank these top flyers from a futrure stock appreciation point of view. With so many positive comments, its tough to determine which is the best of the best and with limited new cash to invest, I can't own them all.

Q: Hello Team 5i,
I own the companies listed above within a TFSA
REAL is smallest holding at 11% of this account = approx 12k
I will add 6k to TFSA in Jan 21

I am considering four options
Keep REAL and BUY more REAL with 6k
Keep REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 6k
SELL REAL and BUY NVEI with 18k
SELL REAL and BUY more XBC, STC, ATA and/or WELL with 18k

-sector allocation not a consideration
-transaction costs not a concern
-concentration (# of securities) within TFSA not a consideration

Your thoughts please?

All the best to all the people at 5i who provide such a wonderful service.
