Investment Q&A

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

Q: Although this UK, NASDAQ listed company is not in your usual wheelhouse, 5i (and Peter in particular) seem quite in tune with the tech area so I am hoping you can provide some information into this company.

It rose about 25% on Friday on its earnings report and has had stellar growth (I think) even without that bump. It is debt free and has money in the bank but does not yet turn a profit. I know individuals who deal with the company and they are quite impressed. Can you provide any further insight into this firm?

Appreciate all that you do.

Q: You recently commented that 18% of a portfolio in utilities is fairly high, especially in a time of rising interest rates and might reduce across the board here.
Can you recommend your top 3 stock picks with dividends that you feel will benefit the most in this time of rising interest rates? Not including the big banks.

Q: Thanks for your great service.

I would like to know if I can extend for more than 2 years at old price or do you offer a lifetime membership.

I dont need more for next 15 years.

Please advise where is the best place to hold dividend-paying stocks ie Register or non-registered.

Is this a correct approach to hold growth stocks in TFSA and Registered. Dividend in Non-registered.

Thanks again

Q: My TFSA is worth about 26000. I do not need the money and have a long time horizon - say twenty years. I intend to maximize the annual contribution limit. Currently I have roughly equal positions in ZLU, VMO, VVL, and VGG. Plus a smaller position in CBL, which has tanked, but pays a dividend.
What do you recommend for a TFSA makeover, if any, in this case?

Q: Hi,

I had initiated a half position in Surge awhile back, which represented only 2% of my overall portfolio. I am down 48% to date and I am debating if I should get in my full position. I understand the sector is out of favor big time, but isn't that the best time to buy? or should I just sell, cut my loses and look elsewhere, if so which company would you suggest. I have a long term outlook of 5 to 10 years.

Thanks

Q: Many of your subscribers discuss their weightings on individual investments.
If I have 5 accounts and a total invested capital of 2,000,000 and if I want to have a minimum of 5% weighting on each stock,ETF or mutual fund would you suggest that 20 holdings averaging 100,000 each would be appropriate?
Or, in the case of some of your smaller capitalized companies like sis and aar.un, would a smaller percentage allocation be more appropriate?
I am 71 and have been in the market for over 40years.
