Q: Good day,

In the past, I have found that picking up tax loss stocks at this time of the year to be fairly rewarding. Can you please give me two or three names that are down on the year (or even beaten up badly) but offer some value. Thanks much - all the best over the holidays to you!

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the job of U.S. President, he has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about China. I'm starting to wonder if all this trash talk might not cause investors to dispose of any holdings they might have in Chinese companies.
I currently own shares in Alibaba but I fear that they might follow the same pattern as Boeing and Northrop Grumman did in the aftermath of negative tweets by the President-Elect in recent weeks.
Do you see this as a likely possibility? Should I sell as a precaution?
Robert

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

If you were purchasing today, what stocks and/or ETFs would you buy for each of the TSX eleven sectors? (Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecom, and Utilities). Please give at least two choices for each sector.

My daughter-in-law has finally sold her high-MER, low-performing mutual funds, and I have set up a self-directed account for her LIRA, her RRSP, and her TFSA. She is 48 and will probably work till at least 65.

Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem necessary. Thanks in advance for all your valued assistance.
