Investment Q&A

Q: Each of these names are now near or above 10% of my portfolio.
Your thought above trim them down all by half, reduce risk: keep some cash, buy some medical names: MDT/SYK ,other fang names: FB/GOOG, industrials: looking at Carrier/Trane/Raytheon.

Thanks you!

Q: Hi 5i, I'm considering selling Oracle for something a bit more rewarding, would you sell / hold ? Can you recommend for a 3 year hold one or two stocks.

Thank you

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service. Generally TFSA is the place for high growth but my highest growth has been in my RRSP. Is there any compelling reason I should sell anything in RRSP and rebuy in TFSA (e.g., NVDA)? I realize I will be taxed on RRSP withdrawals while TFSA withdrawals are tax-free - but - my RRSP has a lot more cash than my TFSA so there isn't room to move all my growthy stuff over. Because of the relative size of RRSP to TFSA, if I were to do equal weighting of all stocks, I'd only have 4 different stocks in my TFSA, which perhaps is fine? Are there any obvious adjustments that you would make to the following:

RRSP:
XQQ 13.68%
VXC 12.03%
NVDA 7.64%
AAPL 6.70%
JPM 4.73%
BNS 4.52%
GOOG 4.32%
ENB 4.13%
MSFT 3.98%
AMZN 3.86%
RTX 3.51%
COST 3.42%
PG 3.11%
DIS 2.82%
CASH 1.32%

TFSA:
GSY 5.28%
CRWD 3.31%
VEEV 2.50%
ROKU 2.44%
SHOP 2.26%
WELL 0.85%
XBC 1.08%

RESP:
LSPD 0.79%
BYD 0.76%

NON-REG:
SLF 0.51%
T 0.42%

thanks,

Q: For my small growth portfolio and looking to buy these 5 techs now, would you avoid or hold off on any of these with the current conditions and prices??

Q: Would you kindly suggest 5-7 of your favourite US dividend paying stocks in order of preference for a long term hold. Thx.

Q: Hi Guys,
I am trying to reduce the number of stocks inside my portfolio. Your thoughts on a full position (5%) for the above stocks for a 5 year hold, within a balance/growth portfolio? Any revisions would be appreciated.

thanks

Jim

Q: How would you rate these companies for growth and safety.

Q: Could you please rank these US stocks in terms of expected growth and safety for both the short term (1-2 years) and the long term (5-10 years)

Q: I am planning to purchase equal amounts ($) of the above. Do you consider these companies do be reasonably safe investments over a 3-5 year period?
Would you suggest a replacement or deletion for any of these companies? I am over 80 and am hoping to have a reasonable return from this investment.
And hopefully I will still be around to spend the gains.

Q: Hi 5i,

I know you like TEAM and have been holding for a while (Thanks!). However, I'm beginning to worry that with CRM bulking up and trying to compete with MSFT in the enterprise collaboration space, that TEAM will start falling behind. Especially, as the other two do more and more acquisitions and bundling. Do you think that will be the case or do you think TEAM has still got good growth? I currently hold TEAM and MSFT. Should I continue to hold TEAM or maybe swap it out for CRM? (I also have ADBE and VEEV if that make any difference).

TIA!
Wayne

Q: Hello 5i,

We have GOOGL and AMZN are in our TFSA's but they are too expensive to add and we do not want to sell. We are retiring and will not have excess funds to add to these positions in a TFSA.

Can you recommend an ETF that has high content of Goog (15%+) and AMZN 10%+) that can be purchased in an RRSP? We do not need AAPL and MSFT as we have VGT?

The other option is may be to purchase GOOGL and AMZN in our USD RRSP though we would prefer an ETF for diversification.

Thank you for you help.

Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hi 5 i
Any thoughts on this new etf
Thx
Gerry

Q: TECH Just came across this new ETF. Can you give me your opinion on investing now or wait. Don't see how it can't succeed with these names.

Q: Where would you consider adding to positions of Microsoft and or Amazon price wise.

Q: I have meaningful positions in Adbe Msft,Amzn...they have all reported what I thought were spectacular earnings each.respectively.The market doesn’t seem to like them ....What am I missing?

Q: What are the forward P/Es for Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook? How much cash per share does each company have?

Q: What do you think of msft quarter. They seem to beat the estimate yet the stock is down.

Q: I am interested in purchasing some U.S. stocks in order to balance and diversify my portfolio. Can you suggest three stocks that you would currently suggest for a conservative type of investor.

Q: Could you comment on the acquisition of Nuance by Microsoft?

Q: Hello,

I sold my shares in Alphabet a few months back (which I now regret!) and have some U.S. cash sitting in my RRSP account. I have purchased SBUX and MSFT but want to add some U.S. holdings. I am near retirement, however have a DB pension plan so I can tolerate average to above average risk. I would appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you!
