Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I manage my daughter-in-laws small portfolio, and the sector balances are now out of whack due to her recent cashing out of her TFSA for a major purchase.

She now has almost zero in the Technology sector. After I reallocate some funds from over-exposed sectors in her LIRA and RRSP, I'd appreciate knowing what Technology stock(s) you'd recommend at this time that provide a measure of safety and growth (preferably from the stocks covered by 5i. Thanks as always for your valued insight.

Q: I would like to initiate a position in HON before spin-off. What do you think of the company? Thanks.

Q: If you owned CA Inc. now would you sell? It's a very small weighting in my portfolio.

Thanks,

Q: Hi, I am trying to reduce/consolidate number of stocks in my portfolio and also raise some cash. Except SJ (1.5%), all others mentioned here currently have < 1% position. I am holding YGR and BDI for Energy exposure, as my only other holdings in the sector are ENB (3.5%) and PKI (1.7%). I also like the momentum and prospects, based recent developments and your comments on COV and waiting for an opportunity to add on a pullback. RHT, VB and DOL were purchased in small quantities, at the time of addition to 5i potfolios. I also like SJ, and think, market is not assigning it proper valuation at this time. So, I am considering selling RHT, VB and DOL and use some cash to add to SJ. What is your opinion ? Do you believe, there are any near term catalysts for these 3 companies to hold on for now or it should be fine to liquidate. Thanks

Q: what is the best stock to purchase at this time, from the income portfolio

Q: As a follow up to my previous question. Kwh was previously increasing their dividend by 2% every three months. Have they completely gone of that approach as a dividend growth company. Are they still intending to be a dividend growth company.

Q: Hi !
In the event of a significant market sell-off, which U.S. stocks would be on top of your list for good value with superior growth potential in the short term and in the long term ?

Have a good day,
