Q: Good day guys!
Question on weighting in different sector:
I am currently over weight on energy 17% (VET, ENB, ZCL,EFX,PKI,VII) and underweight on industry 4% (on has NFI), if I want to trim it, which stock would you recommend to sale in energy and add in industry? Thanks!

Q: What would be your favourite monthly income stock recommendation?
Thank you.

Q: Hi guys, love the service thanks!
Looking at a long term hold of 15-20 years , growth and dividend , but not really risky. I suspect all 3 are good, do you have a particular favourite? Or perhaps a better recomendation?
Thanks again!

Q: I own 3/4 positions in the above company’s. Rht I’m in at $2.10. The other two are up from my purchase prices. I have some more money to invest. Would you top up the positions? Or could you recommend 2 stocks that you would by for a couple year hold. Thanks

Q: I am transferring funds to a TFSA and an unregistered account.I have picked the above to be put in my TFSA and would like another 10 picks for my unregistered account as well as your opinion on the 10 for TFSA please.Both accounts have 100k to invest with a 10 year time line to retirement.

Q: Hi, Would you please recommend 3 to 5 stocks for a TFSA (80K) , I'm interested in growth and some risk is ok, for a 5 year horizon!
thanks 5i

Q: I sold Enercare in my RIF and was considering TCL.A . I own CCL.B is therean overlap ? what other income plus moderate growth stock should I consider

Q: A while ago you answered a question re. companies with large inside ownership. You gave a list. I am unable to find the answer now can you repeat the list please.
Thank You 5I

Q: Can you please name a few of your favorite conservative, dividend-paying stocks?

Many thanks.

Q: Suggestion for a late start to a TFSA. 72 yrs old, looking to put $20k from RIF withdrawal into a TFSA. No immediate need for the funds so wondering what makes sense... Balanced or income...ETF or individual stocks.

Q: What is your view at this time of Canadian bond proxy stocks versus Cdn dividend growth stocks, and their valuations relative to interest rates?

If you are of the view that dividend growers are more appropriate at this time, can you provide three growers that you recommend, and 3 bond proxy stocks that you would suggest to stay away from, to better understand the types of stocks that fall into this category. Thanks.

Q: Hi, What would be your top five ir six companies in your portfolios with the best balance sheets and strongest management combined, to me this is an ideal combination for picking stocks, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i
I understand I'm comparing apples/potatoes here. For a 3 year horizon which one of these two companies could potentially provide a better returns.
Thank you!

Q: Hi, I am trying to raise some cash and reallocate for buying a new position ( TCL.a).
Most of my holdings have done well ( many same as Balanced and a few from Growth 5i Portfolios) with moderate to sizable gains since inception with the exception of above names ( Negative YTD Only). I like the prospects of some of them with portfolio weights TOY (3.5%), SIS (3.5%)and SJ (2%).
BCE and ENB are fairly old holdings with 3.5% weight each and have not been acting well for a while. Over past few months, I have sold all KWH.un and most of ECI
( reduced to 0.75% weight), due to rising rates and other company specific concerns. DOL (1.25% weight).
Will it be reasonable to eliminate ECI and DOL (small positions) and/or reduce BCE/ENB ( BCE more due to muted growth prospects and ENB due to its high debt and pipeline sector concerns).

Thank you for your valued advice.

Q: I'm opening a new TFSA account. What 5 stocks would you recommend for a 10+ year investment today, emphasis on growth.

Q: I have a question regarding SIS's dividend. Maybe I am mistaken, but most ''growth by acquisitions'' type of companies usually either pay a small dividend or no dividend at all. CSU, ATD or GUD/Paladin come to mind. The logic being that more value is created by investing the money than giving back directly to shareholders. SIS, on the other hand, pays an high dividend that has been growing quite rapidly in the last year. What is your opinion on this? Have you ever asked them why they pay this amount of dividend or have they ever explained it? I understand they usually sound quite confident in the future but still, I am curious.

Thank you!

Q: I bought equal positions of SIS and CCL.B, which are in your balanced portfolio August 2017. Since then SIS is up 24% and CCL.B is up 12%. It seems that there is a lot more growth potential in SIS, so therefore I am considering selling CCL.B and adding proceeds to SIS. Would you agree with this trade? Or would you recommend another stock to add to with my CCL.B proceeds for better growth and momentum?

Q: I've noticed that the CEO and CFO of Savaria have 'direct ownership' of a small number of SIS shares but a very large number as 'indirect ownership'. Can you explain the strategy and implications? Also if their ownership is through a parent company, which one?

Thanks
Dave

Q: TCN,SIS,DRG.UN
Are their earnings good enough .Is it ok to buy more? Thanks

Q: Hi, Could you give 3 small cap and 3 mid cap recommendations for me to look at on the tsx. I'm looking for good management with a good balance sheet. Something with some risk is ok provided the possibility for good growth is there.
Thanks.
