Investment Q&A

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

Q: Questions and answers often refer to "positions" half or full. Can you define that please.
Also what ETF's would you recommend for muscular gains. I see some resource units have year performances of over 60%

Q: Hi team,

Just happily renewed my 5i membership. Thanks for all that you guys do.

I'd like (and value) your opinion on the best portfolio-tracking websites, that also have intelligent and independent analysis (market and individual stocks), current stock news (not spam), and strong stock screening/filters etc. Would need to track both US and Canadian stocks of course. Was thinking Morningstar. Is it worth paying for their premium service ($325/3 years)? Any other sites I should be considering? I use Google Finance now and, other than the ability to download my portfolios and view all lists on one page, am not happy with the stock "news" they push. Lots of crap.

Thanks,

Q: Not all REITs are equal; so, would you say that HOT.UN is more sensitive to the economy than some others - say 50% interest rate- and 50% economy- sensitive? And what about REI.UN? Thanks again.

Q: Honeywell spun off ASIX to owners of their stock. I expanded my position to 1/3 and the stock has shown strength in recent weeks. i am debating whether to buy, sell or just continue to hold ASIX. Honeywell has been a good holding. Will ASIX perform well going ahead? Do you have any insight on the company?

Q: Hi 5I team
My question is on a US stock. I've been holding Biogen BIIB for nearly two years and I'm down 32%. It does not look very promising under trump. I'm thinking of selling and moving the rest of the money in finacials like JPM or Bank of America. Could I get your insite. Thanks Maurice

Q: I keep reading that there has been a great rotation away from income/dividend stocks into growth though I dont see much evidence of it. My TD, RB and Telus are not down at all.

Can you explain this belief and if there are examples of beaten up dividend stocks, CDN or US, can you recommend a few for long term holds?

Q: Your response to Brian on Dec 15 included the following comment: "if you own 85% of your portfolio in high dividend stocks, then this is more of a concern".

I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor, with a pension, CPP, annuities, the above listed stocks and 3 income producing MFs (RBC Cdn Equity Income, Sentry Cdn Income, Sentry Global REIT).

I fit the 85% easily. I believe my portfolio is diversified by sector and by security. I also believe the securities have, for the most part, sustainable and growing dividends. I am a "buy-and-hold investor with reasonable tolerance for volatility.

Your comments and concerns please, along with any recommended improvements. Thanks...Steve

Q: I'm currently holding positions of about $1000 each in my 16 month old daughters RESP for SHOP, GUD, PBH, and TOY.

I'll have enough to purchase a couple new positions shortly. I was thinking about KXS, and SIS, but wanted input as to whether this is a good plan with regards to sector weighting etc.

Thanks!
