Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: LNF is held in a portfolio whose mandate is income and capital preservation. There are a total of 12 equity positions. LNF seems to have some concerns about imported furniture and recently had a small downgrade from an analyst. I am wondering about switching to, say, TRI. Would such a switch be good, this portfolio with its mandate. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Further to you explaining your investment philosophy in your July 9/21 answer to Todd.

Regarding not "averaging down".....how about the situation where you are slowly building a position over time, as funds become available? For example, I am in the process of building a position in Leon's (LNF). I bought in Jan '21-$21.60, Apr '21-$21.95, June '21-$21.65 and plan to buy my last portion when the monies become available in August or September. Each time I review various LNF metrics, as well as recent 5IR questions, and then decide whether adding is appropriate. If I continue to like the metrics/answers and LNF happens to be lower in price, I then feel like I am getting it on sale. Does this rationale make sense to you?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: I want to maximize my total return over the next 5 years without taking on excessive risk. Would switching LNF for TOI set me up to accomplish this goal? If the switch will increase risk beyond my expectation, can you suggest another company? Thank you
