Q: Hi 5i, I have a family member who has retired and is interested in buying a growth portfolio of ETFs that is US currency based. They have bought an annuity that will support their lifestyle for 10yrs. If you were building this portfolio what ETFs would you chose and what percentages would you allocate to them?

Q: Could you provide some insight on what TRI & DSG are saying about their future prospects and is their moat real and believeable? In the case of CNR, whenever the political tiddlywinks ends, they will eventually be filling freight cars. TRI & DSG seem to be more exposed to sentiment, which is a bit like guessing which way the cat will jump. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I manage my son’s TFSA. One of his holdings is Kinaxis KXS, which has been held for a long time. The average cost per share is $49.56, and the last time I looked, KXS is trading at $136.59.

Noticing that, based on answers to other members, 5i is becoming more frustrated with this company, so I’m wondering if any action should be taken.

Please advise if there are any other TSX-listed companies or ETFs (other than the CSU family) that have better prospects than KXS going forward, or would be wiser to “stay the course”?

Thanks for your insight.

Q: "Trade Rationale - We continue to like KXS over a long-term holding, but amid the sell-off in software names, KXS has been hit, and while we think it can eventually recover, it may take some time. At this time, we are looking to reduce the size of the position in favour of adding to other names which we think have better secular tailwinds. "

is what 5i said in your recent market rundown piece. Just wondering what stocks or sectors you would be thinking of in particular, US and Canadian?

thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i,

In the event of a sharp pullback in the markets, what would be your top 5 stocks that would be on your radar to purchase?

Putting aside sector/industry/US or CAD markets and with the mindset of a 5+ year hold.

Thank you,

Greg C.
