Your thought above trim them down all by half, reduce risk: keep some cash, buy some medical names: MDT/SYK ,other fang names: FB/GOOG, industrials: looking at Carrier/Trane/Raytheon.

Thanks you!

Q: Hello Peter,
I have GDI in my TFSA account and have done well so far.
Thank you.
However, I feel there is not much growth in the future and am considering replacing it with either EGLX or AT. The hesitancy stems due to the old adage - don't fix if it ain't broken. From a reward perspective, is the increase in risk justified ? I would appreciate your selection amongst the three for the TFSA. Subsequently , a preference amongst the remaining two for a margin account.
Do you consider GDI a growthy stock with a dividend yield?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: If these two exchange-traded funds (ZDV and ZWC) have essentially the same holdings, but ZWC is a covered call, then can you please explain the difference in the dividend? ZDV has an annual dividend of 4%, while ZWC has an annual dividend of 7%. Can you also explain how the covered call feature works? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm hoping you can 'unconfuse' me.
In answer to Bob's question about LUCK on June 25 you said you prefer EGLX and in answer to a question about BRAG on June 8 you discussed SCR. All the questions had to do with the recent change allowing single game betting. I had thought that EGLX and BRAG are gaming platforms and SCR and LUCK are betting platforms, and therefore serve totally different markets, so I don't understand why they are discussed in the same breath, and I also don't understand how the recent legislative change might benefit EGLX and BRAG, although I can readily see how it might be positive for SCR and LUCK.
Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: hi there - just a follow question on your recent answer to the question on CM and the note you included on uninsured mortgages. Correct me if i am wrong, but uninsured mortgages are those where the borrower puts down more than 20% of the value of the home and therefore does not require insurance. How is this more risky than insured mortgages where the lender is putting less than 20% down. This seems a bit backward in terms of interpretation. For example, i have an uninsured mortgage and own 95% of the value of the home. How is this more risk to the bank?

Q: if the reinsurance business is successful will the future share price of BAMR be higher than BAM.A? will the dividend of BAMR.always be the same as BAM.A? since the shares of BAMR are exchangeable 1 for1 for shares of BAM.A is this then a floor price for BAMR? I am still confused by the answers you have provided and request your patience and further clarification.as I want to invest in the reinsurance industry not BAM.A which I already hold thanks Richard
