Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team,

My foreign exposure is held in VTI 14% of my portfolio, VEU 9% ( these two are my largest holdings) and SPOT 3.75%. Everything else is held in canadian stocks and etf's.

Since VEU also holds some canadian would you still hold this or look for one that doesn't have any cnd holdinds?

Second, is there one etf that does the same job has VIT and VEU combined?

Tks,
Rino

Q: I sold ARX for a tax loss in late Dec, and put the funds in SIS.
30 days later, part of me wants to buy the ARX back because it was a stable company with a good balance sheet, and because I took the loss.
I look to 5D for sober thought: is ARX a good buy at this price, or should I just count my losses and not double down?

Q: Hello 5i
I hold REI.UN,CAR.UN, & HR.UN each at about 2% of holdings in my accounts. Sold D.UN for tax losses. Would like to increase my REIT exposure to about 10%. I consider BPY.UN and DRG.UN as additions.
Do you consider the five as reasonable choices or would you recommend that I look elsewhere? Is this a good time to increase my allocation this sector?
Thank you,
Werner

Q: Hi 5i Team,
My allocation for TSGI is 6.5% instead of 2.29% as per 5i Balanced model. Would you recommend 4% Sell of TSGI at 49% loss and buy KXS, or COV or TOY, PHO or SIS or something else for faster recovery. Much Thanks in advance for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi

I have about $45000 invested in TD bank, AQN, Northland Power, BEP.UN, SIS, TOS3,and IPL. I have another $45000 I want to invest in long term (5 to 20 years), safe investments that I don't have to worry about, as I don't like checking my stocks everyday. I like dividend growth companies. I want to Invest in TDB972 but with my account set up with CIBC Investors Edge, I can only invest in other TDB mutual funds. Looking into changing this. I was also thinking of putting more money into AQN, SIS, and buying some BNS stocks. Do you think in the long term that these are good choices? Also, what do you think of TDB972? Should I try and change my account parameters to invest in this, or are there other better options with TDB mutual funds? I am open to hear about other good mutual funds to invest in that you think are good, sound, long term investments. Thanks

Q: I would like some recommendations on some companies or ETF's that you like now and going forward. I'm looking for growth as I have a 20year+ time frame and low aversion to risk. I currently hold in my TFSA: CJR.B (down about 5%, should I hold or sell some/all off? -heaviest weighting of portfolio currently), GS, BNS, CPH, CR, KXS, NIF, SIS. Would like to add more companies to TFSA for some more sector diversification and can add to RRSP as well - possibly a growth ETF with US/International exposure? Would appreciate your input, thanks very much.

Q: I initiated a position in both of these companies (<2%) at the beginning of January and am down 7% on NVDA and up 15% in SQ. Both have been under considerable down pressure recently. Would you continue to hold or liquidate at until the dust settles.
Thanks Kindly.

Q: Based on recent Q4 revenue warning and analysts downgrades, Nvidia's stock price continues to drop. How do you feel about it's prospects going forward and if positive, would this be a good time to buy or should I wait out the negative sentiment?

Q: Hello,
Raymond James analyst downgraded SQ to underperform. "In short, we believe organic growth peaked in 3Q18 and growth on the all-important [subscription] and services line will likely materially decelerate in 2Q19. What do you think about this opinion? Do you still think its a buy?
Thanks
Victor

Q: I remember looking at a blog post you guys did a while back on tsx listed companies with large % of revenue from the US. Can you paste the link? Please and thank you
