Q: This question concerns a well diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.

Looking to add to positions in ATZ, DOO, BN, BAM, GSY, KXS, TRI, PBH and T as well as initiate a partial position in WELL, all for long term holds (5+ years).

Would you rate any of these as a wait-and-see rather than a buy today? Please rate (1-10) in terms of your conviction to buy today, along with suggested target buy range [great, okay].

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I have a small position of Emera cumulative redeemable preferred shares class E that trading at about 18.25$/share as per this morning. They had 4.5% per annum dividend payment so they have a 6.1% yield at current price.

I would like suggestions to diversify that part of my portfolio. (It's not a big weight in my portfolio but I would like some diversifcations options... Options could be other companies preferred, bonds, bonds ETF etc. since they are basically having similar behaviors in the current yield environment.

Thank you, Michel C

Q: I have been sorting my portfolio now I have transitioned from an advisor managed portfolio to one I manage myself. This stock is less than 1% of my portfolio. I bought it, sold not long into the pandemic and purchased some last year. The decision I have is do I add to this near these levels or drop it and focus on growing a position in another industrial stock in the portfolio (CN (thinking of switching to CP), CJT, EFN, WTE, WSP, XYL). For me geographic diversity is currently 90/10 Canadian in this sector.

Q: In my RIF, the SLF position is now 5.5%. I have a very small starter position (< 1%) in BRK-NE. Thinking of reducing SLF by 1.5% and putting it into BRK . I realize there will be an overall reduction in dividend from the reduced SLF position but am anticipating growth in BRK will more than offset this issue . Any concerns on such a move ?

Q: I originally purchased this stock reluctantly on the advice of my (then) advisor. I've never been a fan, as they seem to bounce from one crisis to another and have been stuck in a trading range until the recent hiring of Mr. Doyle; the trading range so far appears just slightly higher. There seems to be lot of investment advisor/analyst support at odds with my view. I am rethinking this position in my portfolio now I've no advisor, and am trying to decide if this one is worth keeping in my Consumer Cyclical group (currently underrepresented overall). I am interested in growth with this stock more than the dividend. Would appreciate your thoughts as it resides in your Income Portfolio. If not QSR then what is a plan B in this sector? Thanks very much.
