Q: Hi folks, I've been looking at adding this bank to my holdings. My view is the stock is not ready to buy yet as it appears to be trading in tandem with the price of oil. According to what I see the stock would be a buy around $15. Do you agree? What's are your thoughts on this strategy to play the fear in the oil markets. With much thanks!
Q: Do you consider 18-20% exposure to the energy sector (oil and oil servicers) at the moment too high ? I have a long term horizon (10y+) and my losses are very limited so far since I have started adding to a 5-7% position in the last few weeks ? I also have excess cash that I could add in the next fews months to oil or other sectors if prices fall.
Also, just a guesstimate, do you think current oil price could stay this low or even go much lower during the next 12-24 months ? Thank you.

Q: GEI has been sliding hard along with the energy sector. But what is the real net impact of lower prices on its earnings? Isn't trucking of oil (due to full pipelines) a more recent development and wouldn't lower energy prices benefit GEI's input costs? Is GEI's sell-off overdone?
Q: What percentage of ones portfolio do you recommend investors allocate to the growth portfolio you are putting out in April? And what is the minimum one would have to put in each of the 25 stocks to make it worth it with the buy fees? If a Small investors with other holdings from your model portfolio can only afford to put 500 dollars or 1000 dollars in each of the 25 stocks would it still be worth investing? At 10 dollars a trade it would be 1 or 2 percent if the value. What kind if return will you be aiming for?
Q: Thanks for your quick reply to my previous question. Perhaps I was not clear enough - but I was hoping for your current recommendation for sector allocations.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Happy New Year Team 5i. I have no Canadian or US healthcare. I am well diversified with both of your PFs. I do not have any US dollars or direct US equities (only those within your PFs which have US exposure) I am interested in XLV but what would be the best way to purchase? Should I open a US account and buy enough US dollars to purchase XLV and hold within that account or should I just purchase within my TFSA (or RRIF) with my Canadian $. I'm quite naïve about US purchases as you can see. Thank you for all you are doing. It gets easier and better because of all of you!
