Q: Time to rebalance my portfolio. BCE has increased to almost 7% of my portfolio (4% in RRSP and 3% in Investment accounts). Is this too overweight and should I trim back? Which account, or both, and by how much? Can you suggest another communications/telecom stock to redeploy the funds? I also own Verizon at about a 1% of portfolio holding.

I am primarily a conservative investor, a few years from retirement, with a tilt to growing dividends.

Many thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking for your advice on what to buy for a new TFSA (full $63,500 deposit) at this time. The funds in this account will be required in the next 3 to 5 years. Income and growth are the objectives, within the requirement to preserve capital. Would you allocate your recommendations equally or ? Thanks!
