Q: Looking at reallocating some cash in my RRSP to stocks in the Model portfolio. Was wondering if you expect some downward pressure simply due to the "sell in May" phenonema. i know over the long term it probably doesnt matter but short term Would I be better of waiting a month or two for a better entry point.

Q: Fantastic resource, glad to have found you! I have sat in cash for a long time save for about 30% in bonds. This year finally getting back in so to speak. Have utilized your portfolio targeting growth potential with strong dividends, 11% in so far. Wanting to keep it simple and given valuations today, is an entry point allocating 5% BCE 48.16, 5% bep.un 32.23 and 5% wcp 13.55 a reasonably safe bet for their dividends and still respectable 5 year growth? Thank you!

Q: Could I please have your thoughts on the deal with Crew energy? I have held LRE since the Westfire days and it has never really recovered. It has increased its dividend but the market is still not impressed. Is this still worth holding or if it's time to move on, what to replace it with.

Providing information to help me make these types of decisions is so valuable , thank you

Q: Good morning,

I have been watching both the Baytex common and receipt, where the price differential seems to increasingly favour purchase of the receipt given the discount as well as the accrual of dividends.( assuming closure of the Aurora acquisition by June) Looking for your insights this observation.

Many thanks

Q: Good Morning 5i Team and thanks for such a great product. I am learning a lot from member questions and your responses.

Weighting of a portfolio is very important and in your model portfolio you keep the weightings around the 5% mark. For those who might have less than $100,000 such as in a TFSA account it seems almost pointless to purchase less than a board lot as any gains, while maybe nice on a percentage basis, may not add much in terms of value when trading fees are calculated in. In a smaller account one may only have 2 or 3 stocks and this would distort the 5% weighting practice.

My question is, at what portfolio dollar level would you consider moving closer to the 5% weighting recommendation?

Q: Crew(CR) released information after the close that it had both sold assets and purchased additional (fill in) Montney assets. It has been argued that it's balance sheet had become somewhat stretched. Do you like these transactions? The stock has been very strong of late, do you think it can continue to rise from here?
