Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This morning I asked a question regarding MG where I stated that I had a 1/4 position. I believe your interpretation was that MG comprises 25% of my portfolio, whereas I meant that I have 1/4 of a "full" position. I consider a full position to be 5% of my portfolio. So MG comprises only 1.25% of my total portfolio. So I am interested in your opinion on selling all my MG shares now and employing the funds to good use elsewhere.
Also, I want to compliment you on your very quick response to my question.

Q: Although Magna is well up on the year, share price has fallen significantly since June. I do not like to sell when RSI is 26, however given the recent direction of the share price and uncertainty of NAFTA, I am considering selling my shares while I am still in a positive position. MG comprises a 1/4 position in my portfolio. I would appreciate your assessment of MG. Thank you.

Q: Hi all at 5i, I have about 45k invested with only 5k in cash. I own all of the above names and was wondering if you were to free up some cash which of these stocks would you trim. If you think 5k in cash is enough, do you think any of these names would be good to trade for another name? Do you have any concerns over any of these names at this moment in time.

Feel free to deduct as many points as necessary.

Thanks,
Dan

Q: Should I add to MG on the sell off?
Is there another in your BE portfolio you think is a better opportunity right now instead?
I am well diversified with your BE stocks, although probably don’t need to add any financials at this point.
Thx
John

Q: Hi 5I team
Will you be continuing to hold Magna in the balanced equity portfolio or are there better options to replace it given the companies comments or reduced expectations? It is a time like this I will ask the question you taught me "Has something changed?", I think it has but it is surrounding trade which is temporary. How do you value the company going forward?
Thank you
Jeremy

Q: I have a well diversified portfolio using a passive index strategy. I have the above stocks in my TFSA to boost the total portfolio return. Thanks to 5i that has worked well. My current TFSA holdings are listed and I am up at least 15% on the first 5 stocks listed and plus / minus 5% on the last 5 stocks listed. I am in my early 70's and feel I don't want to spend as much time on the TFSA investments. Can you give me up to 10 buy and forget growth names for the TFSA and if some of the listed stocks are included in your list then so much the better. Thanks

Q: I'm thinking the sell off of these two stocks is overdone due primarily to all the uncertainty around trade and tariffs.
For a longer term hold (3-5 years) would consider this to be a good time to step in (perhaps a half position) or should I wait for these matters to be clarified/resolved?
Thanks, Rick
