Looking for an industrial sector stock and I am looking at TFII. Would it be a good buy right now?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i, My financial advisor for my RRSP is with Scotia Wealth Management and I'm not happy with him. If I want to take control of my account do you know what the procedure is? Also are there certain types of investments that can't be in a self directed account?

Q: I thought I was reasonably patient and comfortable with a reasonable amount of volatility . . . but it is still disconcerting to see a 12% drop in both KXS & SIS in the first two months after adding them to my TFSA! And KXS looks to be even more in free-fall this morning.
They are each only 2.3% of our (my/spouse's) total portfolios, but a significant % of my TFSA.
Please tell to whether to hang in there or what might be at play here?

Q: Funny how this company makes elevators and its address is on Walker Dr.

Q: I will appreciate your comments on IPL. The price keeps dropping although according to my broker's records there is no insider selling. Would you reccomend holding, selling or buying at these prices. Is the dividend sustainable?
Thanks

Q: Wondering if I can get your assessment of their earnings? Looks positive
Thanks

Q: I am going through my portfolio and finally looked at my balances per sector. Overall it isn't terrible, but I do have to make some changes. I have some Tech positions that I can lighten up and get down to 20% and I have some cash I can add. I have quite a few questions, so please take the credits needed.

Sector Percentage
Consumer Disc 11.75
Consumer Stap 6.41
Energy 7.28
Financial 16.16
Healthcare 5.12
Industrial 7.74
Tech 24.16
Materials 6.3
Telecom 3.69
Utilities 4.54
ETF's/Cash ~7


Should I consider Enbridge a Utility or Energy? Below i have it as a Utility. My other utility is BEP.UN. Should I add to one of these or add another position. They are ~2% each so I could go up on both, or add a third.

I see Magna and CCL are Consumer Disc, but can they also be considered Industrials?
For Industrial I have SIS, WSP, and QST. I was thinking of New Flyer and something else to get my industrial weighting closer to 15 %. Maybe ZCL or is that considered Energy? Or a US industrial?

Do you consider Chartwell Healthcare?(it is above)

Which sector should I focus on first and do you see anything that should be addressed right away. I know tech is heavy and the money should go to other sectors, but which area is lacking the most, Industrial, Utilities or International?

I have approx. 22% in US stocks, but I only have 1.75% IN TDB911 and about 5% in a few US ADR's for international exposure.
What ETFs should I look at to get international and emerging markets exposure?

How much of ones portfolio should go towards stocks Outside of of North America?

A lot of the companies I do own have international exposure such as CSU,MG,TOY,CCL,MX ect;

I am 39 and have fairly high risk tolerance if that makes a difference.

Thanks again for your great service and advice.
