Q: I could sell BCE for a "very much needed" capital loss. Would you put the proceeds into Telus or just wait 30 days and buy back BCE? Thanks Ron

Q: I’ve recently subscribed to 5i, and appreciate all the good information that you have on your website.

A question: how do you choose which stocks to research and which to not research? In your model portfolios, you have included a number of big-name stocks (BCE, L, TD, BN, amongst others) that aren’t rated. I understand they are included in your model portfolios to provide sector diversification, but would I be correct to infer that if you rated them they wouldn’t likely be “A” stocks?

A somewhat related question: your Income Model Portfolio includes BCE, CNQ, FTS, H and TD (amongst others), all non-rated, but your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio does not. Does this mean that although you view these stocks as being good dividend-payers, you also think they have limited upside?

Thanks

Q: Good morning5i.
I need to sell or trim one of the following position in my RRIF. Which position would you sell at this time? I would have to sell all BCE or part of ENB or BNS to get the withdrawal amount needed.
