Q: I own all of these in equal weighting (7% each). Down quite a bit on NFI. Just seeing if I should keep it and give it the long term (10 years) to provide a good return or sell because there is a better company to replace it with for a better long term performance at this point. Any other recommendations as I do have some cash side lined at this point (30%).

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined portfolio (RRIF, RRSP, TFSAs, and non-registered account), we are underweight in Information Technology. 5i's latest recommendation for this sector's weighting is 15%, but we are at 13.4%.

We hold these stocks/ETF followed by their weighting:
CSU: 5.67%
ENGH: 2.38%
KXS: 1.09%
OTEX: 2.50%
SYZ: 0.92%
XIT: 0.91% (We use it to park cash as it's a commission-free ETF for us)

My wife has a preference for holding dividend payers (even a small dividend) in her RRSP. In her RRSP, she holds a 1.51 % position in CSU, and the full 2.38% of ENGH. In order to increase the IT weighting to 15%, she needs to invest $19,500. There is sufficient cash in her RRSP for this purchase. What course of action would you suggest? Should she top up her position in ENGH? Or should she start a new position in ET or OTEX?

Please deduct sufficient credits for this rather convoluted question. Your guidance is very valuable to us.

Q: Hi team, I have these companies in my TSFA. Can you rank these stocks based on highest potential gains (catalysts) in the next 12-24 months? They are equal weight and I will need to liquidate 50% of them within the next year or so. I know short term predictions are difficult but best guestimates are appreciated

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service and continued improvements. I find the new Portfolio Analytics section very helpful. Long winded question here so please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

I am overweight in tech, at 40% overall. I have 40% tech in both my RRSP and TFSA.

The biggest names I have are AAPL 9%, TEAM 6%, and NVDA 6%. All of those are held in the US side of my RRSP.

I have a mix of 15 stocks in my TFSA, roughly equal weighting. The tech holdings in there are PHO, KXS, CSU, SYZ, SHOP. Each comprises about 6% of the TFSA but just over 1% of overall holdings.

I am 7-8% underweight in:
consumer defensive,
communication services,
industrials,
utilities.

I feel I should trim back or sell at least one of AAPL, TEAM or NVDA but hard to given they have all been growing and have potential to grow further. Are there any obvious choices to cut or pull back here? Can you please suggest at least one name from each of the following sectors:
consumer defensive,
communication services,
industrials,
utilities.

thanks !
Mark

Q: Hi 5i I was stopped out kxs this morning when it dropped to $76.13 and $.02 below my stop and then recovered to to over $77. My question is should I be selling at some point close to the stop and if so how would you determine when. I know you are all about buy and hold but in a time of uncertainty I would rather limit my losses. That said I do suspect that the market makers are manipulating the price to take the little guys stops out and profit at their expense. To frame this as a clear question can you recommend a strategy to minimize needless losses or suggested reading on the subject.
thanks
