Q: My daughter is just starting her investing journey and has probably 40 plus years until she needs the money. She has enough for 12 stocks and I have suggested she follow your balanced portfolio with a few growth stock added. Considering buying T, GUD, ENB, CCL.B, TV, BNS, TOY, PBH, SHOP, CAE. She understands SHOP as her mom was one of their early clients, but we are hesitant due to its incredible run up. Is this a good list and could you suggest two more stocks from one of the following areas. Tech, industrials or consumer. We are considering PHO, CSU, BYD.UN, KXS, OTEX, GC and SIS. Any other suggested changes would be appreciated. As a new investor I am sure she values some stability as she gets her feet wet but growth should be a prime objective. Of these stocks which one would you chose for her TFSA. Thanks for your insight. Please deduct appropriate credits.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
I have done very well with Linamar and was thinking that it might be wise to switch to Magna at this time. It seems that Magna has a bigger global footprint and a better chance of participating in the electric car movement, especially over seas. Linamar appears more focused on non electric vehicles .
I would greatly appreciate your opinion, thanks

Q: I refer Richard's question of Sept.19th
Would this work for a RRSP as well, combined my wife I have $877,000. Sell our stocks and buy equal amounts of these etf'e.
This would give us a nice income should we take it out.
Also have a larger amount in cash and TSFA based on your portfolios.
We are 60 and also have pensions and no debt
Thank you and have a great weekend.

Q: Two well established expressions are:

"Timing is everything" and "You shouldn't try to time the market"

So, on Wed the 20th, I bought my first position in Questerre Energy and today, the 21st, it's down 25.5% (so far).

I would appreciate your advice on whether it's likely to continue falling off a cliff, should I cap my loss at this point and run away or is there any reasonable expectation of a near term recovery.

Many thanks as always,

John
