Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi there. I have accumulated about 4K in cash in my TFSA that I am looking to place in either 1 or 2 growth options. This is would represent about 15% of portfolio. I'm 35 so risk tolerance is fine.

Currently have GUD, AQN, KXs, LNR, VEE, and FIRE

Would US exposure be a good plan given the current exchange rate and diversification?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i.

I have some cash and would like to add another US stock to my portfolio, and looking for a recommendation.

I currently own Enbridge (US market), Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, UnitedHealth Group AT&T and McDonald's.

Based on what I own, can you recommend 3 or 4 stocks which you think would be good for my portfolio?

Income is not necessary, but not a problem if it has a dividend. I am looking to invest in a well managed company, with good balance sheet, and good growth potential.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Q: Good afternoon,
I hold the following stocks in my business account that have a weight of between 6.2% and 8.3%. This account was started in DEC/16 and has increased by 6.7% YTD not including dividends. I want to add six more stocks to further diversify while reducing the percentage per equity down to between 4 and 5%.

My goal is to generate income equal to the amount of corporate tax payable annually. I looks like this can be achievable!

Let me know if I need to share dollar values to help access.

Thanks,
Raymond

Q: Good afternoon.
I've been doing a little research on the growth of artificial intelligence in Canada and I would appreciate any insight/ recommendations you may have for investment knowing that there could be a high level of risk involved. This would probably be for a TFSA account with a 1-5 year frame. Might there be an IPO(s)on the horizon worth investigating?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
I am looking to find an individual investment or etf offering cloud storage securities. I prefer to invest with c$ due to currency exchange fees but if the best companies at good valuation are in US$, then so be it.

Would you please suggest a few options and comment on valuation or other significant indicator to consider before entry today?

Thank you
Dave

Q: MSFT- I held this one for a while and sold at $32 due to poor Q results and negative street view. It has steadily moved up to over $38 on what news? Announced to-day a deal to share software code through another tech company the ramifications of which I have no idea going fwd as it pertains to MSFT's EPS. I'd like to own a software stock and I am wondering if I should wait on this one as it pays a decent dividend with room to go higher??

Q: I had an open order to sell 200 MSFT at 33 and it traded up to 33.36 after the order was entered but the broker didn't fill the order because the high temporary "spike" price was only available to institutions, not retail. Does this sound like a plausible excuse or do I have a complaint that I should elevate? Thanks, J.
