Q: Hi guys, I own the following with the respective total portfolio weightings. My TFSA is all CDN and RRSP is a mix of USD/CDN. When I rebalance, should I try and rebalance with respect to % of TFSA and % of RRSP or rebalance each holding as a percent of overall portfolio? If the latter, I would consolidate some of the holdings in my TFSA to bump up the individual weightings. Are there any obvious adjustments that I should make? I’m heavy on AAPL but have sold so much of it over the years I’m very tempted to let the remaining shares ride.
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit and many thanks for the excellent service you provide. The Q/A is invaluable as are the periodic market summaries. You’ve pulled me away from the panic button many, many times.

Q: With the diversification that the newly producing Oskut mine now provides Centerra together with their 2020 production/aisc guidance would you consider this company a reasonable play? It seems that free cash flow generation could be significant, not something that appears to be reflected in the current valuation.

Q: Hi 5i Team. Thanks for your great service.
With all the renewed hype with regards to green/ESG companies, is there a need to own all of the above companies or do their services overlap? Which ones would you own?

Thanks

Dave.

Q: Western Forest reported on February 12th. Revenue was $80 million, well above the $46 million projected. Now that the strike has been resolved, do you see any upside to the stock. The dividend is good. I own it at double the price (many shares) and it is now and I know, I know, don't average down but it seems things are looking up with the strike over and the price has moved up since the announcement. So I am leaning towards buying more or getting out. I know you are not a financial advisor.
Would they make a good buy out candidate for a US lumber company? They use to have a good balance sheet but do they have one now?

Q: Hi, great job my portfolio is up, thanks.
I bought GUD for sector, management, cash position, growth (safety) etc.
They finally made an acquisition which looks ok.(no homerun?) still down ,bought at $8.50
Looks like an important quarter in March,if it is good all should be ok, if not ,it will not have the big cash backstop that it did in the past. Won’t this be a problem?
Getting a little impatient, if it is only a so-so or down quarter, is it not time to seriously consider an alternative? Or would you give it “another”3-5 years?
Thanks,

Q: Hi,
Prediction : PWF preferred series I and G will be redeemed. POW put aside 350MM to redeem preferred shares in the latest reorg. These 2 perpetual issues are down significantly since mid-Dec, have the highest coupons and total about 350MM …POW has also perpetuals with high rates but they seem pretty stable. Your guess? Could they be redeemed as soon as this quarter? Thanks.

Q: Greetings!
I am looking to add some solid industrials weighting to my TFSA. 5 yr plus time frame. Can you offer your top 5 stocks , and top 5 Canadian focused ETFs please with rationale? Also, interested in any Canadian based ETFs that focus on US industrials. I could use some additional US focus, so how would your top picks in each ETF category compare with each other in terms of geographic region?
