Q: One of your recent articles stated that you favour tech stocks now. I hold CSU, OTEX, ENGH, SYZ, and KXS. What is your recommended weighting of tech stocks now? I was thinking of going to 15% across my portfolios. I believe you favour industrials as well, I hold CCL.B, WPK, CNR, SJ, MG, MAL, and KBL - are they considered to be industrials?
Q: I am looking for a mid cap silver miner/producer but the only ones I know of are Fortuna, Tahoe and Endeavour. Do you have other suggestions that I may compare to these three. Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i!!! I would like your advice. I would like to design a fixed , very, very (did I mention very?) conservative portfolio which will preserve my principle and earn me 4-5% income. This money will be held outside of a registered account. I own enough stocks, and do not want to add any more if I can help it. I own a good portion of the dividend aristocrats already. I understand that the taxation is not favorable outside of a registered account for fixed income and this may be a tall order considering how low interest rates are. Do you have any tools in your investment tool box to help me with this, and what would they be? Kind Regards, Tamara
Q: Hello,
Question about bonds, trying to figure out if buying bonds with ratings like BB or BBB would be a godod addition to my portfolio ( risk / return). Are there a lot of options for canadian companies ? What kind of yield should we expect for 3 / 5 year term ? Is it available through discount broker ? Is there a minimum amount per company and what kind of trading fee should we expect ? Any recommendations or sector suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Q: In relation to Jean's question concerning pref shares with reset floors, please note that bank shares do not have such floors for regulatory reasons (in order to be considered as Tier 1 capital).
Q: Due to recent bank stock valuation gains, I am over-weight in financials. My finance sector contains SLF and three banks; TD, BNS, and RY at 6.3%, 5.8% and 5.2% of my portfolio, respectively. I would like to reduce my bank ownership for portfolio balance and I am considering two options; bringing each of the stocks down to 4% each or selling one of the banks, say RY, outright. As background, a full position for me is around 5%. My question, which of the two options would you prefer? And if it is option 2, which bank should I sell? Thanks.
Q: There is a rumor that capital gains taxes are going up ib the next budget. Should I be selling some of my big winners before the budget? Thanks, Mark
Q: If the government increases the capital gains tax, like it did in the past, does it affect the gains executed prior to March 22? If it doesn't apply to them, is there a reason NOT to sell my portfolio now and buy it back the same day? In my corporate account, I always will pay a 25% tax, whether I'm retired or not.
Q: Hi 5i,great information. Only wish I had found you sooner. I am a 60yr DYI investor, I inherited 100,000 and decided to invest with a CIBC financial advisor in a balanced ETF.
Now seeing your great site I am thinking to move my money, into one of your suggested model portfolio's (save on fees & diversify).
My personal investments are both ETF & stocks I am heavy in financials & precious metals. I have just recently started the google app which is helping me to identify where I am heavily weighted.
What are your thoughts to have mixed investments? Or move ahead doing all investments on my own? Looks like a lot of work to initiate but once engaged perhaps not so much work?
Thanks

Q: Do you ever give any advice on market timing? For example, if you thought the market was at risk of a 5-10% correction, would you advise subscribers?
Q: Good Day. Just curious what would be some good diversified stocks to put in a TFSA. My friend has $10,000 to invest. His health is not good and he is near 60. His TFSA will only have this $10,000 till at least 2018.
Q: I just submitted a question on 3TL (ttm) but see I should have added the company to the text.
I would like your opinion about the lack of share price appreciation although it has upgraded shorter term contracts to yearly saas contracts with Toro, subs of MARS, I think Arm and Hammer, and now a sub of a large American media conglomerate. All of these deals are with multibillion dollar companies, although I would be the first to admit their deals are nowhere near that large.
Do you think it is because they don't mention the value of the contracts, a lack of promotion or am I overly excited because of the names?

Q: Can you comment on an article posted on Yahoo Finance by a so called Crash Guru Sandy Jadeja who says the Dow could plunge by 30 percent this year. The dates to watch for are Marc 13 and May 11. How should small investors react to articles like this. Thank you.
