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

Q: Good morning,
Time for my wife and I to make our TFSA contribution and in that regard I am wondering if I should stick with splitting between BTE & TRP which are the only two holdings in our accounts from day one or branch out and add another growth equity to the mix.
Thanks.

Q: I am trying to build a portfolio (total size about $110k) finally after 13 years of playing blindly and losing money every year and I am trying to flirt with diversification as well with positions ranging from 1% to 6%(excluding any financials and SIN stocks for religious reasons). I have the following current holdings. Can you let me know if I am diversified by sector and whether I am taking on too much risk. What would you recommend adding should I get rid of and what can I add? You don't have to do a detailed review and a brief answer will suffice. Thanks

Q: In your recent answers to questions you had good things to say about SMCI and NVDA. They look good on my Globe Invest chart. The two I like OPK and MOH (MOLINA) looked good on my Globe Invest chart. Rank them 1-4, as I am looking for growth.

Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Could you please comment on their recent update. I was surprised to see the stock lift over 5% today with their results and with the possibility mentioned of a dividend cut. I understand low oil and Can $ is helping, but is this enough to offset other issues ? I have a small (1.3%) position (smaller now at a 50% loss than it was !) and am trying to decide if there is likely to be much upside in the next year or so. If not, then it may be one I should sell, as I am in the process of trying to reduce the overly large number of equities that I hold. Your comments, as always, would be most helpful.

Q: Re Rick's question/comment to be able to "star" a question for review later.
Perhaps this might work. I know it does for me: I take a screen shot/ picture of the question which then shows up on my desktop. I then drag it into a folder on my desktop simply called "5i" - and then I am able to review these questions whenever I want and do so quite conveniently. Hope this helps.
