Q: Hi 5i,
Without concern for diversification, if both owned but at relatively small weights, would you shift out of one to top up the other? My PF suffers from extreme weightings ranging from 20% positions to approx 1% positions. I expect I would benefit from addressing the lower end ie buy more or sell decisions.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
Of the mag 7, I hold MSFT, GOOGL, and META. Please suggest the next mag 7 to hold or just add to those that I already have. This is for 7 to 10 years. My portfolio is balanced in all sectors as a blue chip, dividend, value investor with some growth. Eighty years old.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: This weekend's Barrons magazine mentnioned Fairfax as a successful company that emulate's Berkshire's strategy and secret to success—and investor returns—combining investments and aquiring insurance businesses.
“It’s a three-engine strategy,” says TD Cowen analyst Andrew Kligerman, commenting on what Berkshire has done right. He ticks off insurance, investments, and wholly owned businesses. “You need to fire on each cylinder to make it work.”

Q: Greetings 5i,

Looking for diversification for the wife's portfolio. We hold within the TD platform, TD WebBroker. Specifically regarding TDs ETFs I had thought that some of their ETFs had no transaction fees associated with purchases. Usually within TD WebBroker there is a $9.99 fee for most transactions and I am trying to get around that for the ETFs we are considering. I thought 5i may have this information available and could you list the ETFs that have no transaction/trading fee through the TD WebBroker.

Cheers!

Q: Greetings 5i,

Made a killing on Oklo and sold with the last pop. 114% thank you, Ill take that and run. Possibly will revisit Oklo if there is significant pull back from its highs.

All the same selling Oklo has left a spot in my portfolio where I would have liked to keep something related to the energy needed for all the new AI data centers. My main question is regarding GE Vernova, which I think trades both in CAD and USD. I see that GEV has started construction on a SMR near Toronto with at least 3 others approved. Is this a fair play on the need/push/development of SMRs for Ai and datacenter needs?

Cheers!
