Q: Hi 5i Research Team:

I have traded Forex before and am new to stock trading. 90% of my RRSP, RESP and TFSA is in cash and I'd like to avail the current market conditions by "gradually" buying the dips.. and holding it over the long term, 5 to 10 years. I understand that no one can time the market or its bottom.

After exploring the reports and questions on your site, I have identified the enclosed 29 stocks based on following criteria:
- Current Retracements of > 75% over 52 week high & low
- Dividend Yield > 5% (in some cases, like WEED, which is a bit risky, I understand there's no dividend in the near term.. and I am simply going for the upside swing over the next 2 years... same for CRON and Air Canada)

Considering my 90% cash position and strategy to partially buy in on dips over the next few weeks, can you please advise if my stock selection is sound. In addition to my stock picks, please advise anything else that I should keep in mind.

Thanks for everything you do. Much appreciate.

Q: I own Pason Systems in my RRSP and am now down 50%. I know that you have sold it out of your Income Portfolio because of what is going on in the industry. I consider Pason has strong management ( will adjust to the changes affecting the company) and a solid balance sheet. I think I should continue to hold as I have the time especially considering the dire situation that the oil industry is in. What is your view. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold NFI, PSI and CCL.A as tax losses on October 25. Should I buy them back now, just add to the positions I now have or are there other equity opportunities to consider in replacement. I am a retire, value, dividend investor, 60/40, evenly distributed with many from the INCOME MODEL PORTFOLIO.
