Q: On June 10 you answered a question on portfolio weights,saying that you would generally consider a good portfolio as having 25 stocks, making 4 percent a full position. How would etf’s figure into this scenario? I know that you have often said that one should have at least a 5percent position in an etf. Is that suggestion for a portfolio of 25 stocks?
Thanks again for the excellent site

Q: Two general questions:

My ACB on RPI is approaching zero. When I eventually sell, will Revenue Canada consider zero as the minimum possible ACB or am I expected to continue to calculate an ACB once it goes into negative territory?

This is likely more of an issue for my eventual estate, as I assume once one gets to ACB one just collects dividends unless management does something really silly. Is there any other reason to consider selling a reliable dividend payer once ACB gets to zero?

Q: What's your current position on Beyond Meat? Is there any "moat" around this thing to protect it from competition? It seems like any company in the food processing industry could compete. What's the short position like?
Would you advise subscribers to even consider a short position or could that just result in being trampled by the herd?

Q: Trying to decide what to do with this company which has done very well recently and is now selling above analysts one year target. After being under water for a couple of years I'm now up 30%. It's grown to 50% of my TFSA tho' less than 3% of my overall portfolio. Should I stay the course? Reduce? Sell outright and hope for a dip?
Appreciate your comments, please.
