Q: I have these 13 stocks at equal weighting of approximately 5 percent each in my RSP, along with 35 percent in fixed income. Stock value of approx 1,300,000. Fixed income is approx 650,000. Cash 50,000. In your valued opinion, is the above stock selection diversified enough?, or are there other sectors I should be in. I am 69 and going to retire in the next year.

Q: I know longer own GUD having sold it over a year ago due to dead money syndrome. However in the G&M today there was an excellent article today on some Canadian biotechs,eg Zyme, etc. that I encourage you to read.

As I've discussed in the past in this column there seemed to be a total vacuum of Biotechs in Canada, but having read this article my eyes are opened.

Are you guys looking into any of these opportunities?

Q: Granted that these companies differ in dividend (only with AD), size (DOO largest, AD smallest) and type of business (sports equipment, fashion products, and equity financing to private companies), how would you rank these four stocks for future growth runway today (highest to lowest) if sector was not a consideration? Thanks for your valued input!

Q: hello 5i Research team, BOS : I know you have been disappointed by this one. Could you comment on the “new valuation” of BOS since THE contract was announced? Is this new valuation only valide while THE contract is being worked-on and that there is a higher level of hope that more contracts will follow due to COVID? How optimistic are you about additional such sizeable follow-up contracts from the US government or other foreign governments, especially since last year’s merger? Are the cash flows generated by THE contract enough to reduce significantly the debt level to induce higher multiples? What maximum weight would you give it in a diversified portfolio? What other Canadian companies offer a similar risk/return profil? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I invested in QSR and TRI which to the best my know is with out a deposit receipt but that something for another day). I hold these in a balance portfolio. Now I see QSR is in the 5IR Income Portfolio. With that, would 5IR hold TRI in a balance or income portfolio?.
The reason I ask this as the weighting of these positions would be different in a balance portfolio than in the income one.
