Q: Sitting on a fairly significant position and loss with CPG in an RRSP. Wondering if it is time to take the loss if there is no foreseeable upside and potential asset write downs or to ride out an eventual recovery with oil prices. Able to hold for at least another 10 years.

Q: Hi,
I am an income investor whose portfolio is currently 25% fixed income and 65% in equities. With the money I made on the sale of Enercare I would like to invest in a bond fund to keep it safe in these time of market uncertainty. Which do you prefer? Would I be better to divide equally between both funds or all in one fund? Is there a better fund I should consider?

Thank you for your time.
Leigh

Q: In addition to some individual stocks, I'm invested in the above ETFs in a (hopefully not foolish) attempt to diversify my portfolio but also increase my exposure to the US tech market; in particular tech companies involved in cloud computing. Generally, I've been splitting my funds about equally between these four ETFs. Can you give me your thoughts on this strategy and in particular, the weighting of these ETFs (investing roughly equally between these 4 ETFs)?

Q: Do you think there is a possibility that ALA could go bankrupt? Based on all the negative decisions that have eroded share value, it would appear to me that a wholesale change of the Board of Directors could be welcome news for this company. Who could make this happen?

Q: Hi 5i,

I would be interested in your comments on XERO Technologies. Located in Victoria and developing innovative electric motor technology. General comments + I assume it is a micro-cap and I assume it is high risk and suitable for a very small part of an investment portfolio.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: I bought some shares in Honeywell back in January and I have noticed recently 2 new stocks that have appeared in my investment account: GTX (Garret Motion) and REZI (Resideo Technologies) which apparently are spin-offs from HON. Are you able to provide any comments on these 2 new companies? I'm inclined to just sell them (small number of shares). Thanks.
