Q: Hello Peter,
From what I have been reading: The cash positions within pension and other investment funds is at historically low levels. The trend over the past few weeks has been a shift from growth and technology to cyclical and value stocks.
On the flip side, the technology sector generally does well to start the new year.
I have done well with growth stocks mostly in the tech sector and have a couple of holdouts such as DXCM, AYX GH that have not performed. And I am also fully invested.
Should I look to raise cash by trimming my gains, which would be in tech, mostly US except for some CAD such as DSG, LSPD OTEX etc? Or, should I sell the growth holdouts for cash? Should I even raise cash and invest in cyclicals and value such as TT, RTX, US financials or any other you may suggest. Or should I just ride the growth portfolio into January and spring of 2021?
Looking for your magic eight ball answer.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Please pick 1 stock for each of Canada, USA and Global. No restriction on sector.
( use as many credits as required)

A. Shorterm buy for 3 to 6 month, momentum type buy, get out once it slows.
B. Longterm hold growth stock ( 5+ years), but you expect a quick rise in the shorterm.
C. Longterm hold balanced stock ( somegrowth, stable adn growing div), maybe something that has been beaten up by covid that provides a good buy right now.

Q: The 30 day rule deals with a superficial loss not being allowed. However when the security is finally sold all losses are added to the final result. It appears that the loss only has a ti
me factor. Is this true and how does the rule apply to options.
thanks

Q: In a Globe and Mail article yesterday, Candice Bangsund of Fiera Capital was quoted as saying "Fiera is overweight on Canadian stocks now because it’s “where we see the most upside potential,” she says. “We expect the [Toronto Stock Exchange] will outperform the U.S. market in 2021, which is a sharp reversal from what we’ve seen.” If I could chat with her I would say "WHAT?".....Me, I thought Canada rides on the coattails of the US....The family is well diversified across Canadian and US stocks. But with new TFSA contribution room for 2021 for 4 accounts, what guidance would you provide with respect to investing new money in Canadian or US stocks or do a combo?
And pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate another good year of  5iR guidance to couch guy like me!!!......Tom
