Q: I noticed that in one of your replies you said that most 5i staff have been buying during this downturn. I have bought through other downturns. But, Trump has me spooked. You never know what he might do. You feel that this time it may be different. If you feel free to share it, I would be interested to know what gives you this confidence, what your buying strategy is and finally, wha stocks do you see as particularly interesting at this time
Thanks

Q: I am a 64 year old IT professional, planning to retire next year and live off investment income. What do you think about my current sector allocation: Energy 7.00%, Health 7.00%, Finance 22.50%, Industrials 10.00%, Tech 22.50%, Telco 4.00%, Utility 5.00%, Materials 5.50%, Cons.Def 7.50%, Cons.Cycl. 8.00%, Real Estate 1.00%? I have moderate risk tolerance, the portfolio size is over 5mln, most of it is US and Canadian ETFs, and the low real estate allocation is due to the fact that I own some investment real estate. No crypto, gold, or bonds - I don't want any. I have paid out house, no liabilities, and no dependents. I am wondering if my sector allocation is too aggressive..? If yes, what are your suggestions for the perfect allocation specific for my case? Thanks!

Q: Hello Team,

I'm reviewing 2 of my holdings.

WGX - Do you still like this name as a long term gold hold or are there any other companies you would swap with. I hold LUCA as my only other gold stock.

ATH - Same question, do you still like this stock or any other names you would switch with. I hold CJ as my only other resource stock.

I'm okay with high risk high reward stocks.

Thanks

Q: With the announcement today of a 24% cut in NASA's budget, including scrapping Gateway, the lunar space station, does this affect MDA enough that it is no longer a desirable stock to hold? The Canadian Space Agency had awarded MDA a $1 billion contract to build Canadarm3 for Gateway, so they have lost a major contract there.
