Investment Q&A

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

Q: I currently hold these 9 stocks with the noted weight in my portfolio: ADBE (4%); AMZBN (3.5%); CRM (2%); CSU (4.5%); CRWD (1.5%); NVDA (1,5%); QCOM (1.5%); SHOP (2.5%); GOOG (4%).

This adds up to about 25%, and to make matters worse, I recently reduced NVDA from 4% for a temporary wait on the sidelines and I intend to restore that in the next while.

So although most are all fairly different, there is too heavy a concentration in tech and reduction is in order. If you were me, which of these holdings would you sell? Trimming across the board is not impossible but as I wish to add some new ideas and already have more stocks than is probably efficient, so selling one (or more) is somewhat more preferred.

FYI, my goals are mostly growth and capital preservation, dividends are less important.

Thanks for your excellent assistance.

Q: Hi 5i
Can you comment on what’s expected from the “Mag 7” stock price action from Tsla, Amzn, Goog, Msft, Nvda, Meta and Nflx this coming week as the Nasdaq 100 is being re- balanced over the weekend and some of these names could be affected price wise?

Thnx much
Dave

Q: I currently own Brookfield Corp Preferred Share, BN.PF.A.
And I'm wondering whether I should hold on to it. It has a dividend yield of 6.31%, but I'm interested in knowing where you see the share price going. Or perhaps you can recommend something with better prospects at this point in the cycle.

John.

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently hold CSU and MSFT in my otherwise conservative RRSP. I am looking at adding either AAPL or GOOG for a little more growth. Can you suggest which one would be better to add today.
Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i! I own both of these stocks and now having broken even I would like to sell them. Do you think they have strong potential growth?? If so I may reconsider. If not, could you suggest some good solid US alternatives … not necessarily proxies.
Thank you,
Tamara

Q: I have a 5% position in cash, and am looking at the above three positions for medium term growth (1-3 years). I understand that these have different risk factors, but taking risk out of the equation, would you split the position, and if so, how. Thanks!

Q: Can you list out a 5 securities (US or Canada) which you feel are mispriced (ie. where the price is substantially lower than its true value)? I know folks that 5i are generally growth investors, but also know that Warren Buffet's approach is also widely respected.

Q: Peter and crew; I currently hold positions in both CIBC and TORONTO Dominion banks. Both have sat in my portfolio to give balance to a tech heavy US investment program. As a growth investor my thinking is to sell both banks, and add to my U S stocks. Can you share with me your one year opinion on Canadian banks and as well suggest 3 or 4 US growth stocks for a1 to 5 year hold.. I have a fairly high risk tolerance and patience

Q: Hi Peter, what do you see happening on July 24th when the Nasdaq re- balances? Do you think that some of the top stocks would see a bit of a sell-off as ETFs and institution investors rebalance as well? Which companies would you put new money in? Thanks in advance.
