Q: I hold 5 Growth Portfolio 5iR position as noted above.....that I've held for some time.
I've decided to fold them into my Income and Balance Portfolios rather than track the group separately. The reason is to better manage the position weightings. Although these 5 are more growth-er positions, I'm really more a 70/30 balance/income investor...and closely follow the 5iR positions and weightings.
Now for my question - what weightings would you give each of ECN and GSY in an income portfolio, and also for each of DOL, OTEX, PEO and SHOP in a balanced portfolio?
.......again, thanks for your guidance......Tom

Q: Good afternoon gang
I am underwater in all of these stocks in one of my non registered accounts. I would like to sell and then buy back in 30 days or more in my TFSA or RRIF (not sure which). Do you feel any of these may pop up within that time frame? With that in mind in what order should I sell first..to last? Your suggestions will be greatly valued as always.

much thanks

Q: I have been contributing to my TFSA since inception and I currently have $90,000. I just put in $6000 as my 2019 contribution and I'm wondering what stocks I should look at. I'm 27 years old, have a long term time horizon, and I'm very comfortable with a lot of risk. Looking mainly for growth at this point. I currently have 30% of my account in the following (wxm, iwo, xsu, tdb3055 and RBF1035) (pretty well equal amounts). In addition I hold T, rY, BNS, JE, Enb, dol, ala, cjr, and fts all set up in Drips in roughly equal amounts. I also hold about 10% of my tfsa in ABM, EDT, loto and GQ for risky plays, all of which are down 50% except abm which is up 50%. what do you suggest adding at this point? Thanks so much!

Q: Hello, Which of these consumer staple names would you consider. I was leaning towards MRU as it seems cheaper that than the other two and the Jean Coutou acquisition sets it up for further growth. I already own PBH but thanks to last year my position is much smaller. Thank you. Shyam

Q: I sold DOL for tax loss reasons at the end of 2018. And now I am allowed to buy back, given the elapsed CRA time period is over. You recently mentioned DOL is a wait and show me company. How would I know went this "wait and show me" period is behind? Is it too early to buy DOL now?.....Thanks Tom
