Q: Hello 5i

Our portfolios are low on materials. We own LIT and MP @2% each. Which stocks or ETF's would you add at this time?

Cheers,

Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide a summary of a company called Clean Air Metals, symbol AIR on the TSXV including its fundamentals, cash on hand, debt and any opinion you may have on its growth prospects. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5I,
I have one spot open in my portfolio for a high growth stock. I bought a bunch in the pullback but have $$$ to add ideally a long term core holding. The question is do I jump in now after so much has ran so much so quick? Or wait for volatility to create more opportunities. I am looking for a screaming buy in order to spend this money if that gives you any context.
Thanks

Q: I know you are not tax experts but you probably have a decent understanding of the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption. I just wanted to clarify one thing. If the company you owned qualifies, and the amount of capital gains is within the limit (lets say 250K), does that mean you pay ZERO tax on those profits? Or is it some sort of a reduced rate? Seems too good to be true. Thx

Q: Hello,
In the same vein as my question about BCE/T/RCI.B....
I own BIP.UN, BEP.UN and AQN in the same income-generating portfolio, around 16% of the total.
Does owning AQN simply duplicate the same space that BEP.UN does better, or is there some value to owning both?
Thanks again.

Q: What would your best guess as to the price of Google after the 20-1 split? I have been reluctant to buy Google due to high price per share and am now interested, would it be best to buy now at fewer shares or wait until the split and buy more shares? Do you think now or post split?
Cheers, Doug

Q: Hi,
If I already own SLF, would it be too much overlap to also buy some TSU? I know they are both insurance but somewhat different? If I wanted more growth, would I lean towards TSU and if I wanted less growth and more stability, lean towards SLF? How does the valuation and growth prospects compare to each other going forward? Thanks!

Q: Hello,
I have a general question regarding Portfolio Analytics.
At what point or range should one proceed with a rebalance either for the geographical weightings and/or the sector weightings?
For example, my geographical weightings show the following:

Increase Canada by 0.85%
Decrease U.S. by 0.65%
Increase International by 0.35%

Similarly for sector, i.e.:

Increase Technology by 0.21%
Reduce Real Estate by 0.49%
Increase Utilities by 1.64%
Reduce Health Care by 1.37%

All other sectors fall within the ranges shown above to one degree or another - only Consumer Cyclical at an increase of 0.07% is really close.
So, as a "Rule of Thumb". what kind of range should we accept as being close enough to not worry about? 0.25%, 0.50%, etc.?
For what it is worth, the portfolio is large enough that a 0.0015% adjustment would be acceptable in terms of keeping the trading cost at an acceptable level as per previous comments you have made pertaining to that aspect of the process - if that makes any sense ....
Many thanks as always!!
Cheers,
Mike
