Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests a need to increase my allocation in utilities, real estate, communication services and consumer defensives. Could you give me your best 3 picks for each category, preferably on the TSX. If you feel the Canadian doesn't have very good choices, suggestions on the US market would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I have several 'Growth' companies which have grown quite large in both Cdn and US markets (Thanks). While I plan to let winners run, I am looking to take some capital out of those, and shift to areas of the market which are trading below their historical averages. Could you suggest some areas of both US and Canada to look for those areas? (Specific companies or ETFs which would target this both welcome)

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank for your previous answer to my question on potential US stocks to look at for potential investment.

Out of the list provided I am interested in potentially investing in: DLR; RTX; LULU

In the event of a "pull-back" in stock valuations that may or may not come, what would you consider to be a good entry point for these stocks. I am long term 5+ year investor and I am ok with high risk.

Thank you,

Greg C.

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Thanks Again

Q: Hello 5i,

This is a sector allocation question. Portfolio Analytics indicates I have about 14% allocated to Real Estate and should only have 4%. My 3 real estate holdings are DLR:US, DIR.UN:CA and GRT.UN:CA. Would you suggest selling one of these 3 or trimming a bit from each?

Thanks

Q: Covid created the Virtual Office with many businesses opting to work from home using Zoom, Google Meet and MS Teams to name a few virtual meeting suppliers. Is there a potential looming on the horizon that office space will have a high vacancy rates and create pressure on REIT's that carry these empty spaces down the road?
