Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My portfolio is a combination of the Balanced and Growth model portfolios. I'm torn between your advice to "let winners run" and your advice on keeping sectors reasonably balanced. Tech is up and energy is down....so in theory, I should be selling some Shopify and Kinaxis and buying more Whitecap and Raging River. SHOP and KXS are not yet over 5% of my portfolio so I don't need to sell them to reduce risk. My instincts tell me to let the winners keep running until I see some life in the energy stocks, even if that means being very light in that sector. Your advice, please. Thanks!

Q: Not so much a question but rather a statement. I know you mentioned before that you didn't think your subscription was big enough to considerably impact share price following buy/sell advice. But I would think that yesterdays share price movement for DBO following their removal from coverage was possibly due to a mass exodus by subscribers.It dropped 10% (52 week low) first thing in the morning and bounced back 12% today. For the super small caps it may sometimes be better for us subscribers to wait out the panic selling the next morning. Thanks!

Q: Currently building the BE portfolio. In Technology, I only own CSU, looking for a second name to add. Which company would you add for diversification? If you think I should add two half positions that would be OK too. Thanks!

Q: The accelerating economic trend towards online commerce is one I feel is woefully underrepresented in my current portfolio. How would you suggest I address this today? Buy AMZN? Buy SHOP? Would half positions make sense given the strong runs these stocks have had?

Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you
