Investment Q&A

Q: I have a position in LMT. It's had a nice bump up in price although off it's recent highs. Considering the current market volatility, would you be taking profits or continuing to hold? Is it speculation due to the war, or fundamentals?

Q: Related to Kevin's question... I own U, CRWD and NVDA in a TFSA and can't capture a tax loss if I were to sell U (I'm down significantly on the position). Would you suggest continuing to hold U in a registered account or selling and moving on to something else (likely increase NVDA holdings)?

Q: Could you please clarify your recent response to Greg on Unity. When you say
"A better market would see this stock rise sharply, but we would be more inclined to be on the sidelines after this report. It was just not good. "
Is this a suggestion to sell an existing position ( registered or non-registered account) ? Or, are you merely suggesting not to buy or add to an existing position at this point ?
Thank you.

Q: If you had a bit of money today to buy a small basket of 5 stocks you consider to have the most potential for growth in the next four to five years, what would you buy?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am looking for income and found these two. I am up with BAC and PRMW and would sell these and buy ICHR and IEP. I know there is no comparison but would be fine with the change for income. I am 76 with a good pension and a balanced portfolio value investor in all sectors. I also have covered call ETF's ZWC, ZWE, ZWH, ZWT, HDIV AND HYLD. The other forty-two stocks are blue chip equities in all 11 sectors with ten ETF's doing well with ZAG to balance it all. I am not using the principal and reinvesting excess dividends and using some for travel. Is there a downside to selling BAC and PRMW and buying ICHR and IEP or is that too excessive with the covered call ETF's now in play? Please take as many credits as needed.
Stanley

Q: Hello 5i

Could I have your current thoughts on CGNX please ?
Are increasing costs and inventory an issue (considering recent price action) or more likely just general market malaise / sell on news ?

Would adding to an existing holding seem premature at this stage ?

Thanks
