I hold basically the balanced equity portfolio with CSW.A,KBL,and L added plus a portfolio I've been building to US/International. In the US/International portfolio I currently hold XYL, SBUX, V, JNJ, and VXUS. I was considering selling some or all of L and CSW.A to add some more international names and was thinking initially of GE and PFE. These changes would be made within an RRSP (the entire portfolio is spread over TFSAs, RRSPs, and RESP).
What are your thoughts on such a move? I should point out that L is less than 1% weighting and CSW.A is approximately 3% of total equity exposure.
Are there other US/International names I should focus on?
Q: I need about $15,000 in cash. I hold larger amounts about equal in Coca Cola, General Electric, Microsoft and Sysco (which has dropped significantly in the last week) Which would you suggest I should cash in?
Thanks Jd
Q: I am now flat on berkshire which I bought as a proxy for the US economy. With the shares not doing much for a while I was thinking of switching to General Electric which looks like it is preforming better in the last couple of years. What is your opinion.
Q: GE seems to be divesting its low margin businesses and becoming more of an industrial company again. I would expect a smaller and more profitable GE going forward. It's PE is below the general market and pays a good dividend. Is this a pound the table buy considering its fundatmentals and growth profile?
Q: GE... while being a holder of GE right now with the recent down turn may not have much appeal, this is a quality well diversified company which should be able to take advantage of any US recovery over the next few years. My questions are at what price do when think would be a good entry point or, do you think an investor should wait until April when quarterly results will be published?
Q: GE: General Electric
I would appreciate your thoughts on why the stock price has dropped quite significantly lately [compared to the 52 week high].
Is this a good entry point?
thanks
Q: Hi to you all,I read that GE is going to spin off some of the financial part of their business. Is this a fact, and would it be positive for the stock? I would presume so. A quick yes or no is sufficient. Thank you Phyl
Q: Hi Peter, I wonder if you could tell me whether buying 100 shs. of GE would be overkill as I hold both Ba, Hon, and UTX. perhaps I have too much in airline/planes/etc. Or shouldI sell one of them, not Ba but either Hon or UTX.
Q: Not a question but a remark in regard to a question to you today about GE. I was watching BNN today and Andrew Bell said that GE is cutting back on GE Financial. He said if it was a bank it would be the 5th largest in the USA. GE is reportedly cutting back on the financial business in order to concentrate on the industrial business.

Q: GE in USA. I have held for four years-raised dividend three times I believe? Stock has still not recovered to anywhere past glory. Should I buy more (very sdmall aprt of USD portfolio) for capital appreciation and dividend increase when global economy picks up. I realize this could take a while.
