Q: Greetings 5i

I presently hold BAM in my TFSA account with a 5% weighting. I am thinking of adding BIP.UN at a 5% weighting as well, mainly for the dividend and potential for some capital gain. Would this make too much overlap or concentration?

I want to ease back on the throttle of riskier stocks in my TFSA as I am now retired. Weightings within the TFSA account are taken into account in my question.
Your thoughts?
Thanks.

Q: Hi, would like to lighten up or sell two of these companies to raise cash. Which of these do you least like? I like dividends and good management ,but not fond of debt, as they always get hit harder in any down turn.
Thanks for your advise

Q: I currently hold the above 3 stocks at around 2.5% positions and am wondering if there are better options in the industrial sector or should I hold tight. CAE is up over 30% but AFN is down 25% and TFII is down 8%. I’m a retired income investor.
Thanks

Q: Could I get your take on Keyera - payout percentage, dividend sustainability, debt levels, industry positioning/competition and how tied-in to gas prices they might be. I am a retired, income-oriented investor, looking for something that has been beat up a bit and might be more apt to up than down further over the next few years(!).
Thanks

Q: Good morning, I am noticing more recommendations lately for longer term bond ETFs i.e XLB and TLT. I have traditionally been using CBO, XBB along with some preferreds (regrettably) and a small amount of XHY. Should this old retiree consider any change in fixed income holdings? Thanks for your service.

Q: The Analytics tool suggests I am significantly overweight geographically (Canada). The tool also suggests I downsize my financial holdings and increase Consumer Defensive, Tech, Healthcare, and Industrials. Which sectors would you tackle first to increase? Please provide 2 or 3 stocks/ETFs that you would recommend to begin re-balancing my portfolio geographically and by sector?

I am a long term investor and I have evolved over the years towards buying more of the larger cap companies.

Thank you!

Q: This was issued Oct 3, 2016 at $12.75 and has a barrier price of $8.93 and is tied to the i shares Capped energy price. It is within a dollar of the recall price. It missed the first recall Sept 27, 2018 and the final recall is Sept 27, 2019. It is now showing a loss of $3,219 on a $10,000 investment. I have held it this long would it be advisable to hold it until maturity and recover my initial investment if it does not reach the recall price? The lure is the redemption amount.

Thank you

Donald
