Investment Q&A

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

Q: I just sold about $5,000.00 in stocks inside my TFSA, with a little profit of $500.00 over the period of 8 months. I did it so I can add it to my self directed RRSP account to lower my taxes this year. In my RRSP I own approx 20% oil,15% financial, 10% utilities, 10% auto, 5% marijuana and the rest is in CDZ. I want to diversify this portfolio. It accounts for 75% of my investments. I am considering a REIT and some technology. What do you recommend?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I have Nxpi semiconductor stock in both registered and non-registered accounts both with positive gains. With the news of a take over what would be the best approach going forward. How do I know when to sell, do I wait for a formal offer as the news appears that they are only in talks with qcom at this point in time. I am thinking of putting the non registered US dollars into Oclaro Oclr-q.

Thank you
Mike

Q: Hi, As part of a portfolio cleanup I am considering replacing <1% positions in DSG and ESL, and adding some more cash and add a full position in OTC. Does this make sense? With the new purchase of DELL EMC enterprise..I think OTC has positioned itself for growth. Are the liabilities increasing due to this purchase? How does it plan to fund this purchase? Do you think it would be better idea to wait for the benefits/issues due to this purchase to sink in?

Q: Self driving cars appear to be in our future. Which companies are involved in developing the control systems for such vehicles? If we believe in the concept, are there stocks that you would recommend? I assume Magna (which you seem to like) will certainly be involved in general parts supply. Do you know if they are involved in the controls as well.

Thanks for all you do.
