Q: Hi folks
I sold SIS at a loss in my non registered account. However I also own it in my TFSA and my RRIF at a gain. Does this make my loss null and void? I may buy it back in my non registered in 30 days. Also you had mentioned that you would like to see SIS break at $14.15... But is it good to buy now (if I decide to add to my TFSA holding).? Or would that also break the 30 day rule?
Thank you again for a good year.

Q: I see that for NTR and HR.UN the RSI is entering oversold territory. What importance do you place in the RSI for a company when considering a buy or sell? I am considering buying these two companies at these levels, would you recommend a purchase now? I am surprised at the sinking stock price of HR.UN compared to other REITs, do you see a particular reason for this? Thank you for your great work.

Q: Thank you for your response to my question 22 November. I am attempting to diversify my portfolio internationally and so I am looking for Canadian listed companies that have a significant part of their business outside of Canada. The four that you listed are very good candidates and I do own CCL.B, WSP and ATD.B. I was wondering if there is a way to find other companies with similar international characteristics. Thank you.

Q: Hi Gentlemen ,

My US portfolio has a few laggards in it that have underperformed the market. I'm not sure if their underperformance is a temporary blip or a permanent tumor.

I'll list them below so I can get a fresh perspective from you on them and whether you think that they are worth holding or not.

Many thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife needs to convert her RRSP to a RRIF. She presently holds BAD (still up 82%) and SIS (presently down 17%). We're considering selling BAD and buying more SIS in order to reduce the number of holdings and to be able to replace a stock that appears to be on a downward trajectory (BAD) with one that seems to have gained momentum (SIS). Please comment on this strategy, and thanks in advance.

Q: I recently sold LSPD to crystalize a tax loss I sold it on Nov 22 for $29:72 presently its at $31 and change. I sold it after getting your opinion on tax loss selling. When I asked the question I was specific about LSPD and pointed out the risk of the stock increasing beyond the $4599 loss in the 30 day window. (always planned on buying it back. Anyway in the last 2 days the stock has gone up over 2 dollars (I had 800 shares so that approx. $1600) I am getting nervous about the stock rallying. Can I have your thoughts should I buy it back now before it takes off and goes back up to previous high of $49 ? or?

Q: My fixed income exposure is 100% through my RRSP, of which 90% are individual bonds, 5% XBB and 5% XLB. I have a bond worth 5% of my RRSP due next week. Should I diversify further my bond exposure with ETFs like XEB or VGB, especially if I believe rates will start climbing within the next 12 months? Thanks, Martin

Q: Hello 5iResearch,

I have a couple requests:

1. Would you please send me your recommendations for two or three ETFs I could use for hedging against a recession/market correction but still get an annualized distribution yield of about 3%?

2. Could you please also let me know what your recommendation would be for a gold ETF?

Thank you,
Natasha

Q: Hello,

I'm getting a little nervous about the valuation of Square lately and considering Micron or Apple. They are both much cheaper than Square, but how do you see the trade off in terms of growth potential over the next 5 years. Would you stick with SQ, considering a reasonably high-risk tolerance, or make a change? Thank you.
