Q: Hi 5i,
Looking to reduce some of the risk with the above Consumer Cyclical stocks, I'm currently at 14% portfolio weight with each of the stocks equal in sector weight.

How many would you keep, consolidate and/or replace with new to be sector diversified with less risk?

Thanks,
Chris M.

Q: I own the ETF CGL.C and AEM and just wondering if I really need to own CGL.C.?Looking at the history of this ETF it has not done too much in return and wonder if it would be better to just sell CGL.C and put the proceed into AEM as my weight is not very high in AEM. Both are in a non -registered account. Your thoughts?
Thanks

Q: ESM has been performing very well in the past month. I am up over 70% in the matter of weeks. I almost begin to worry it is too good to be true. What can you say about such a rapid growth and what news releases should I pay attention to?
Also ESM had two major drops in the past (Nov 2008 and end of 2013), what happened then and what signs to be on the lookout for this time?

Q: Hello 5i

I am a retired cautious investor who is slowly moving from individual stocks in both my registered and non-registered accounts to Mawer 105.

I do, however, believe in diversification. As I slowly unwind my accounts with their individual diversified holdings would it be wiser to spread my future investments between such products as Mawer 105 and VBal or simply go “all in” with one or the other ... or any other product you would suggest?

Thank you

Peter

Q: The one-year returns of Canadian life insurance companies over the last 52 weeks have been rather unexciting, but over the last quarter they have suddenly blossomed. What has caused this revival, and can we safely invest in them for the next two to three years? Thank you. Walter

Q: Just a comment

I am very impressed.
Being in my mid 60's I now have reduced my holdings to under 20 from 80.
Makes life easy and now I can retire.
I was 100% Canadian, I have now covered all areas Canada, US and International.
Money well spent
Cheers

Mike
