Investment Q&A

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

Q: Do you have any thoughts on this company? Looks like things are finally ramping up and they will be producing gold very shortly (albeit small amounts). I understand it is a very tiny company at present but if the estimates the company is presenting are anywhere near accurate it seems like there is opportunity here? Their extraction tech, if viable, also seems interesting from an ESG slant. Thank you for your thoughts. Happy New Year to the 5i team!

Q: I have listed the companies & etfs in my tfsa plus the %age of each in my portfolio & would like your opinion on whether the group is too passive or aggressive . Should some areas be reduced & would you add some stocks or etfs to give it more diversification? I have pensions, am retired & don't rely on the proceeds for living expenses.
Since I joined 5I ,& more particularly this past year, your advice has been invaluable. For example I just sold DND for a $6600. profit. Your site gave me the idea to buy DND .
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hello 5i,
I would like to transfer "In-Kind" from my RRSP to my TFSA. I have 4 candidates to consider and wonder which order you would rank them in, Best to Worst. I am down in all but one so have added the percentage loss in case that has any significant weighting in the decision.
AW.UN (-14.95%)
EIF (-4.72%)
SIS (+0.32%)
ZDI (-3.12%)
Since all are monthly dividend payers it is more or less immaterial to me which I move.
Also, in this vein, since I am in no rush to accomplish this, should I wait until any kind of pullback in the equity I choose, or just go ahead at whatever price at any time?
Many thanks for your insight.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Happy New Year 5i!
I recently joined and have been reading as many of these questions as I can get my hands on and appreciate your insight.
I've recently started a TFSA portfolio with a breakdown as follows:
- REI.UN (14%)
- TD (33%)
- FTS (29%)
- HR.UN (3%)
- T (12%)
- SIS (5%)
- ATZ (5%)

I have been attempting to buy into companies and reinvest via DRIP and thus my preliminary focus on dividend companies (with diversity taking a backseat). What are your thoughts on REITs for growth going forward over the next couple years? Are they worthwhile keeping or do you foresee more upside with investment into growth stocks? If so, do you have a top 2 growth stocks that could compliment the rest of the portfolio in lieu of REITs?

Thanks so much!
Kyle
