Q: Hi,
Im looking to raise some cash to put towards spotify and dol (post split) and cant decide what (if any) of my holdings should be sold. Generally Im long term oriented and use all available DRIPS to accelerate. Currently I hold aqn, acb, bns, bep, enb, fb, gsy, gud, nvda,pho, sis, slf, vfv, vgg, vee. Right now, I think Im only down on GUD. Do you think any should be sold for any reason (including too much sectoral overlap, loss of long term value etc.) or should I keep them all and look at just adding fresh cash? What do you think about looking to add spotify and dol?
Thanks!

Q: I can't add to my RIF, I can't put more than $5,500 in my TFSA annually, so my unregistered cash account is holding shares that will mean major capital gains. I have trimmed periodically, but currently ATD.B is up 1,068 %, SQ up 119%, NVDA up 324%, SHOP up 207%, BYD.UN up 118%. I am not complaining. I offer 5i my sincere thanks for your advice over several years that has been so rewarding. I tend to hold overly long , so I am wondering whether I should in future sell when a stock has reached, say 40%, and buy another stock? What to do?

Q: Hi, Dollarama was added to your Growth portfolio recently with full position. The stock was quiet for several weeks but took off recently to $169 (+10% since added). I bought a few shares at $158, during recent decline. However, with the market jitters (coupled with Desjardins downgrade citing valuation) specially over past two days, tested the lows of last quarterly release. Valuation seems to be still expensive. What's your take for short/long term ? For now, it's a tiny 1% position for me. Should I take advantage of the pull back and add or just liquidate ? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,

I sold my holdings of AVO, (Thanks for that one!). I own the entire balanced portfolio, and would like to deploy the cash in a company that has been beat down a bit in the last little while that has good upside potential. I was thinking DOL but would like a few suggestions.

Thanks,

Jamie
