Investment Q&A

Q: You have been extremely kind to help us with US Stocks and we have extremely benefited from it, but would prefer answer to Canadian stocks
First as sometimes there are too many US stocks answered and I read all before getting into Canadian Stocks.(

Q: good afternoon - I have positions in both AMZN and GOOG, with modest gains in GOOG and good gains in AMZN. I'm looking at the respective P/E's and wondering if this is a good time to sell AMZN and increase GOOG. Taxes not an issue for two thirds of my AMZN. Do you think that GOOG will increase in value at a greater rate than AMZN in the coming years? I like both companies but this looks like an opportunity to high grade a portion of my portfolio. Thanks. Al

Many thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

We have decided to trim equity positions by 15%-20% and replace those stocks with less risky investments. This move is to retain capital investments for the near term due to leveraged market evaluations and the Narcissist who is making a serious attempt to change the US from a democracy to a Totalitarian state.

Can you please provide a list of safe havens to shelter against some of the potential risks?

Thank you

Q: Good day,

I purchased UCTT a while ago and am now down by 55%. It is a minor portion of my portfolio and so I am ok leaving it as is IF it shows promise in the near to mid term. If not, I can sell at a loss and redeploy the funds elsewhere.

c'est la vie!

Thank you for the great service, as always.

Q: Hi,
I added this one a while back in a TFSA, but find for a stock I though would be fairly consistent, it has some higher than expected drops - such as todays roughly 3% and a similar one about a week ago. Any thoughts on what might be prompting this? I also note the technical indicators of OBV and Accum/Dist continue to rise with price, leaving me think these drops aren't overly concerning, that this isn't the case with IBM since it's earnings drop. Do you think there is a 'caution' flag out on IBM? It doesn't seem to be holding up all that well post earnings, and I thought the earnings were OK. I'd welcome your thoughts on it as well. Feel free to consider this two questions - and thanks for your continued work on our behalf!

Q: I'm looking to reduce the beta in my portfolio and considering one of the 3 companies. Which one looks the most attractive today as a long term hold and why?

Thank You

Q: I am looking for a position in my income portfolio and would like to choose from CPX, CM and TD.
It would seem that Canada is heading into a recession and that would affect the bank earnings, more significantly CIBC than the others.
CPX on the other hand has missed earnings, maintained guidance and has dropped and likely to recover?
Which one would you choose to add?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Any thoughts on BNT.TO. ? Is it a buy for long term.
