Q: I purchased a small non registered portfolio for my 16 yr old son in Dec 2014. It consisted of equal holdings of BTE (-30%), COS (-51%), CPG (-20%) and WJX (-32%). It started with $4000, the present day value of this portfolio is $2700. The goal for this portfolio is long term growth.
My question is do I hold and wait for an oil recovery or is it better to sell all or some to create a portfolio which hopefully will produce superior long term results. We were being greedy jumping on the oil bandwagon looking for the large gains with big dividends - seems it was a mistake.
I have learned from your service the benefits of diversification and would greatly appreciate your advice on how to fix this for my son.
Also, I would like to know is it better to put your new growth portfolio in a non-registered or a registered account.
Thanks,
Michele

Q: I like each of the Brookfield group of companies but am unsure the "best way" to own them. Should I buy shares in all the companies - Property, Renewable, Infrastructure and BAM or is BAM the best way to participate in the group? Or is this more of a sector decision?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: hello 5i,
Thanks for the quick response on my earlier question about Buffet's suggestion of 10 per cent fixed income. I neglected to ask in that question what would be the best choices for fixed income in the situation you described, i.e. having some money to take advantage of opportunities and in case of need. Anything that I can think of, except for cash, would seem to have 'a wait time' before you could get at it. GIC's for instance would be in possibly a 1-5 year ladder; a bond etf, although it could be sold, might be sold at a loss if you didn't wait long enough. I know that you can get GIC's that could be immediatly cashable, but you get less of a yield. High interest savings accounts don't give much these days, either.
any suggestions appreciated
thanks
