am up 51%. with everything going on in Iraq and the rising oil price, do you have a sense where we might see RE going in the next 3 - 6 months?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi,

Happily , for the moment I have positions in AYA, ACQ, & CSU
spread over 4 accts(cash, RLIF, RRSP, TFSA). They currently
represent abut 17.5 % of the total of the 4 investment accounts
of my overall portfolio. ACQ 8.4 % AYA 6.3% CSU 2.25%

My main concern is that all 3 investments are similar in nature as they are all "rollups" .

Do I have to worry about having a significant portion of my portfolio in this type of investment ?

I know that I need to worry about individual positions exceeding
10 %

MY second question is about a trimming strategy I try to use.
I have been selling 25% of an investment the first time it doubles and 25% each time it increase by 100% of the original investment. Is this a reasonable thing to do ?

I am considering taking only 25% of my profit instead on subsequent increases of 100%. and taking as much as necessary
to stay under 10 %.

I would appreciate your comments on this situation.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i team, I have a small position in BRP ( Brookfield Residential Properties) with a 37% capital gain in a registered account. The shares have trended down in the last 6 months. Should I be patient and hold or look for a replacement. If I were to sell what would you suggest I replace it with? Thanks as allways.

Q: This is a follow-up to the question asked by Mike as to when to sell a stock.

How does paying attention to the five parameters mentioned apply to commodities? I am thinking specifically about oil, which is rising in price primarily (it seems) to unrest in Iraq. If, and when, that situation is resolved or at least quieted, should we expect the price of oil to decline? If so, does one look at trimming holdings in oil companies now as the price rises and portfolios unbalance or should we as investors wait and not adhere as strongly as we might normally do to portfolio weightings?

Thanks for the in-sight.

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I'm thinking of adding some exposure to the energy field services sector. Hesitating between CEU and HWO. The latter seems to be at a good entry point after its recent drop.
Thanks

the portfolios is
1.all five can. banks

should I cut back on say banks and broaden the sectors that I am in? I am 71, medium risk tolerant and the fortunate recipient of a defined pension so rif is not ultra critical.

Q: great great stuff on Amaya, great article by ryan modesto. I had 15000 shares at 5.25 and rode it to 10. sold half when stocked dropped to 6.00, and bought it all back plus another 5000 at 9.00 when stock started moving quickly again, no complaints from me. last year paladin made my year and this year Amaya made my year all due to 5i research, unbelievable.only one caveat is for those of us who follow stocks hourly like me Amaya was a give away, news was leaked etc.etc., I wonder if the authorities will get on this one. dave

Q: The 5i team: First of all Peter many thanks for the AYA suggestion a long time ago. I would like to follow-up on your statement “We think the stock goes much higher from here”. Would you please elaborate on that. Thanks.

If a similar question is asked, please don't publish and clog up the Question and Answer section as it is a valuable investment tool.

As always, thanks to everyone at 5i for your valuable service.
