Investment Q&A

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

Q: Given that most, if not all of your highly rated IT co's are software business solutions co's and diversified across many sectors, is there any need to apply a 'sector' limit to them. I know they may all move with the IT sector during rotations, but not on fundamental issues that affect all co's in some sectors e.g. resources. Applying a sector limit seems to be excluding many fine growth co's from a portfolio, at the expense of including less attractive co's in the quest to diversify sectors, but is this necessary? Why have a sector limit at all when the co's in question are themselves diversified?
Thanks, Peter.

Q: For the most part we (subscribers) seem to ask you questions on the same stocks in some sort of rotation that I have not quite figured out. So it must be time again to ask, what stocks are we not asking about (very frequently perhaps)that we should be considering for our portfolios?

As always, I appreciate your insights - my best performing stocks are generally ideas I've picked up here!

Q: With gold producers tightly a liked to the process of gold, there seems to be a 1 to 5 ratio of impact (gold increases 1%, producers increase 5 or more %). Over the past few days we see spot increase or decrease without a symmetrical impact to producers. Can you comment on what else impacts the general sector or are the more sensitive to factors and in fact spot prices are trailing?

Thanks,

Eric

Q: Hello 5I crew. I would like to say that I really enjoyed the Money show this year. I am assuming you lined up all the speakers on Saturday in the main hall...Good work, excellent topics. While I was there I had asked at the Money Saver Booth if it was a better cost to purchase the online magazine there or through 5I. 5I was suggested but I can not find the proper link to do this without renewing my 5I membership. Can you please direct me to the website area I need to go to? Thank You

Q: Hey team, I've decided to add these two stocks to my portfolio as long-term investments. My one hesitation is with timing. As both are sitting around all time highs right now, would you suggest holding off for a couple months to see if they decline, or would you go ahead and pull the trigger? In a perfect world I'd like to pick these up around $700/share.

Q: OK the Trump effect ... would it be prudent to turn all investments into cash lets say a week ahead of the US election (50 stocks X $10/transaction =$500) and if Trump wins ride out the wave of volatility and then buy back into the portfolios for another $500 hit possibly avoiding the chaos that would follow the Donald into his presidency? If Hillary wins would you expect a positive response from the markets?

Q: I move in and out of gold depending on my fear level and currently have no exposure. Trump is managing to change my perception, however, and am currently looking for ideas. GLDI seems to have a screaming nice yield, but share depreciation has eaten away any gains over the past year. What would need to happen to the gold price to reverse this trend. Any thoughts or other ideas (excluding GLD and XGD).
Thanks in advance
