Investment Q&A

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

Q: From my years of investing, I can say that whenever I take a position larger than 5% of my portfolio, I have come to regret it. The larger position occurs either because I averaged down or became so enamoured by the company that I bought more shares. There are so many unknowables about a company that is not run by yourself, that pleasant and surprising adverse events are equally possible. The beauty of the stock market is that you can invest in 20 good conviction companies at 5% position each and really limit the damage of the adverse events. And if you can't find 20, keep the powder dry for the next nice find.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Today's question from Stephen (July 21), and your answer, did not specify the name/ticker of the health care company that "is still very small, faces a lot of competition from much bigger players like ILMN and at 10x sales it is not cheap."

Could you please provide the company name/ticker.

Thanks!

Q: I have a little to spend and am looking amongst the solid Canadian and US companies that you most recommend for long-term stability and growth.

Specifically though, I'm looking for these companies that seem underpriced and that have been doing well in their buyback policy.

Q: New retiree caught with pants down. Need to sell some stuff in RIF to cover current cash needs. Horrible position to be in with current market. Lesson learnt. Maybe (tough to be on the sidelines in a bull market)
Please help with sell sequence, which I guess should be based on which of these holdings is least likely to see near term growth from here OR which is most susceptible to further declines in near future??

Please list in order starting with the holdings you think should be sold first, ending with the holdings you think should be retained longest, and advise your rationale. All will need to be liquidated by mid 2023

Your crystal ball will be better than mine.

Thanks,

Jim
