Q: I follow the Balanced Portfolio & am wondering why you continue to hold GUD in the portfolio. In the portfolio it is down 47%, since Dec 2020 the price has remained at its low & the stock pays no dividend. Does 5iResearch see a favourable turn around in the near future.
Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi,

Under your analytics tool, it's clear that I am too heavily weighted to Canadian stocks. To solve that problem, I'd like to get some US cash to purchase more US stocks. To do that, I'd like to use Norbert's Gambit.

I'm also overweight Canadian financial stocks so my thought is to sell my, for example, TD stock on the US dollar side of my RRSP account to get the US cash.
I would then buy GOOG or some other strong tech stocks as I'm currently underweight tech.

Based on what I've read about Norbert's Gambit, it's often suggested to buy DLR on the Canadian side and then sell DLR.U on the US side to get your US cash.

My question is - as I already have some stocks that are dual listed, such as TD, can I simply sell them on the US side of my account rather than buying the DLR and going that route. Does that make sense?

Thanks so much. Great service for the average Canadian.

Q: Hello 5i,
I have just completed three very detailed posts about performing Norbert's Gambit using RBC Direct Investing. (For Peter who had asked the Question sometime in the past week or so). I have tried to be as diligent as possible but there is always the chance that I have made an error or omission - which I also noted in the post.
I know you do not normally monitor the Forums, but in this instance I was wondering if you would like to review the post for accuracy if you have someone on staff who is knowledgeable about the process? If not, that is fine, but I just wanted to give you a "head's up" about this in case any further questions arise from my Forum posts.
Thanks for providing the members with the Forums - they are an awesome, albeit underused, resource!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Good morning. I bought 400 hundred shares just under 50.00 last October. Watched it rise like a rocket and sold 325 shares prior to the split and boughtmore Apple and MSFT. It's now trading around 30.00. Not sure why it's in the penalty box even with the current rotation underway. Can you enlighten me as to why? Do I stay the course or sell same ? Thanks David
