Q: Good morning
Over the next few months I would like to invest in a long-term portfolio [10 years] of 10 Canadian and 10 USD stocks/ ETFs/ Funds based on Growth at a Reasonable Price [not interest]. I have reviewed your answers about stocks characterized as "forever" well-diversified", "top growth pick", "5 year top growth", "top US most growth" "most long-term potential" - maybe that is closest.
From these answers I tried to cull the list, but would like your confirmation.
Financials: I am leaning to TD vs BNS - Long-term results, mgt, US; BAM, VISA, and have added SYF [both Buffet and Seth Klarman own]
Industrials: CNR, ITA ETF, CCL and maybe BBU [but currently overvalued];
Consumer Defensive: PBH;
Consumer Cyclical: AMZN, TD Enternment & Communications, TSGI, MG [wait];
Technology: CSU, KXS, ARKW ETF, MSFT, SNPS?, GIB-A
Health: COV, ISRG,
Global: IJR or Mawer Global Sm-Cap
CYB or Edgepoint Global Portfolio

I have no doubt missed a few or priorities have changed.
Thank you,
Sam

P.S. I should have added "capital allocators" to my criteria for a 10 CAD + CAD USD L/T portfolio question.
Thx

Sam

Q: I have been holding WCP (-35%) (4% of Corp Port. and 2% of total holdings) and SGY (-40%) (6% of Corp Port. and 3% of total holdings) since 2015.
These are in an unregistered corporate account so a capital loss can be carried forward. I am going to either sell both holdings outright and purchase VET.
Or trim each of WCP and SGY by half and use the proceeds to purchase a smaller position in VET and end up with all three holdings.
The negatives I see with the first option would be increased concentration risk (2 holdings for 1) and I would expect that WCP and SGY would outperform VET if the price of oil continues to increase long term. Your thoughts please?

Q: Good afternoon,
With the spin out of Equinox's copper assets "Solaris Copper Inc. I received a letter from my brokerage firm informing me the shares of Solaris have been deemed to be a non-qualified investment for registered plans under the income tax act. Without getting into the penalties that may be incurred, can I forget the letter since my shares are in my TFSA.
Thanks,
Charlie
