Investment Q&A

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

Q: I understand that you are generally not in favour of averaging down.
How do you feel about averaging up ?
I am interested in any conflicting similarities of reasoning.

Many Thanks

Q: Hi. I follow your Canadian balanced portfolio and have all the above industrials except XBC. Following your advice to not to add to losers SIS has become my smallest holding at 2%. I have had it for over 3 years so not really down when considering the dividend. My though is possibly replacing it with XBC. Your insight would be appreciated. Is SIS just out of favor and XBC overpriced. Or does XBC just have so much more potential?

Q: I own a number of Canadian dividend paying companies (ENB, TD, BCE, CNR, CM, SLF) in a taxable account. Is there a downside to "journaling" these stocks to the US side in order to be paid these dividends in US dollars? It would allow me to reinvest in other US listed companies without having to exchange money.

Q: Hi,
I own REAL. I rode the stock up all the way to $33 and watched it get "killed" on Friday (20 Nov), when it was down almost 16%. I am not day trading the stock though.
I didn't see anything that is sinister in the financials for the quarter that was reported on. Company looked like it was growing well.
I am now "under water" with my holding and I was looking at maybe buying some more as I consider the stock to be on sale.
What is your take on it?
Thanks,

Q: Good Morning
How would you compare Leon’s and Park Lawn. I had purchased both around the same time and currently Leon’s has far out performed. Would you consider a clean up trade selling PLC and buying more LNF at this time?(Portfolio weight not a concern). Or would you give PLC more time?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5I team.
My question is about healthcare and diversification in the space. I have been attempting to keep my position around the 16% portfolio weighting and currently hold ABBV, AMD, AMGN(4.8%), LLY(3%), PFE, MRNA, and WELL positions. Although I do not want to abandon the PFE/MRNA freight trains, I am looking at adding/shifting to what may be a longer term/higher dividend return avenue with the use of GILD(attractive entry and solid div), CRISPR(awaiting a pull back to $90 if it comes), and even MDT(under $103 if it comes)

How do you feel about this strategy and the switch out of AMGN/LLY to GILD/MDT?

Thank you

Peter

Q: Greetings 5i,
I am looking to reduce my Industrials and hold each of these stocks In various accounts. I would prefer to trim an entire position rather than a portion of each. In what order would you reduce these holdings today? Tax-loss selling is not a factor.
Thank you
SP
