Investment Q&A

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

Q: Regarding the above companies, do you see any short term catalysts or is a modicum patience required? I know I Just answered the question.

I deployed my available cash on the dips and am hopeful of a return back to the prices before the dips.

While I know averaging down is not the smartest strategy, it was too hard to resist.

I took a chance on ATD on the dip and it went well. Now I think I am brilliant. Will one ever learn not to try and outguess the market?

Thanks for the sage advise over the last two years!

I eagerly await the new selections for the growth portfolio!

Finall, my wife has just retired and has a LIRA setup. The Company that is handling it scrapes off approximately $600 a month to administer it. She is not drawing on it until we are both retired. I would like to invest it based on the recommendations from 5i. We have a 5 year timeline until I am retired with a DB pension. Do you recommend the income portfolio, or a blend of all three folio’s, or to remain in the global balanced fund paying fees?

Beat Regards,

KC

Q: I have an RESP for my two year old granddaughter that is diversified into 6 TSX stocks and one US ETF. Each TSX stock is currently a small holding because of the limited RESP donations to date. My question is - when the RESP is liquidated many years from now, is there a minimum number of shares I should have in each stock to facilitate selling the position?

Q: I admit that I have not read many investment reports on this company and Constellation Brands has their reasons for their recent purchase . Given that, I suggest that by any metric/measure/ fundamental analysis these shares are way overpriced. For my mind, the only ( in bold) reason to purchase these shares is to join the momentum party. That is never a good reason to buy shares of a company. That is just gambling, not investing and I do not think it has a place in a serious successful investor's portfolio. Even so called pros get burned by these types of buys ( think Nortel, Bre-Ex to name just two of many many such companies).

Q: Hi,

In a diversified portfolio, what is a prudent allocation to REITs? If I wanted to be more aggressive, what would be the maximum exposure you would recommend? Finally, is it okay to focus this exposure on what sector in the REIT space, i.e. multi-family properties?

Thank you,
Jason
