Q: A good chunk of my TFSA was chugging along nicely to the tune of KWH and its nice dividend, but ... alas ... no more!

Thinking of redistributing the money into WCP ... or any of the others in the energy sector mentioned above. Your thoughts?

I've also been toying with avoiding the sector altogether in this account (since I hold Enbridge and Algonquin Power in an RSP) ... and stepping over to Savaria?

The crystal ball question (without holding anybody to account is!) ... is ... which is likely to do better ... the energy picks, or Savaria? (I'm looking for a dividend with some growth in this account.)

If I should avoid ALL of these at the moment, any other thoughts on "growth with dividend"?

Thanks, as always!

Q: I am trying to figure out my sector distribution. I think that some stocks could be classified in a couple sectors. Could you please let me know what percentage of the following would you allocate to different sectors? For example, would you consider L to be 90% Cons Staples and 10% Healthcare?

L Cons Staples:Healthcare
CTC.A Cons Staples:Cons Discret
ENB Energy:Utilities
TRP Energy:Utilities
SIS Industrial:Healthcare

Are there any others of note that you can think of?

Thank you,

Fed

Q: Hi 5i,

Looking to rebalance my industrials listed above. Before asking my question a little background info: Sitting at 10% sector weight with each of the listed stocks at equal weight. I would like companies with manageable debt, conservative growth and mid-large cap, with growing dividends. Shareholder friendly companies are also a nice to have. I also have a 10+ investment horizon.

Questions base on above, and please deduct as needed:

1) Would you continue to hold these stocks?
2) Which ones would have major issues if and when a slow down occurs?
3) Given answers to above, which new industrials would you recommend to replace the above?

Thanks,
Chris

Q: Would you have a stop loss on these companies? My worst performers by far -20% and -30% in each. Are insiders selling or have a low position? What is the short position in each company. Thanks

Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Hi 5i and team
I presently own WSP which ran up to 5% of holdings and SIS. I'm considering selling SIS and adding BYD.UN and or CAE. That move could bring me to 10% industrial. Should i trim WSP and keep industrial to a prefered percentage or Let it run which brings Me to my other question if allowed. I get confused with all sectors ie: cyclical, non cyclical, defensive etc...i would prefer having 7 if possible. I'd appreciate your thoughts with this.
Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

Q: Hi Guys,

If one believes that the Canadian dollar is about to strengthen over the coming year, what are good ways to take advantage of that?

Am I correct in that my non-hedged ETFs such as VGRO and XAW would come under pressure? Are there any companies that would meaningfully benefit from a stronger Canadian dollar?
