Q: I am looking at taking some profits and rebalancing my portfolio heading into the end of year, I have historic tax losses that will allow this without issue…
I am currently at approximately 70/30 (Stocks/Fixed Income, Cash) , looking to move closer to 60/40. Do you think this is being too conservative heading into the end of the year?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Back in the spring I bought into WCP at about a 1% position, which worked out well (so far). I am considering bumping this up to about a 2% position. Do you have any information about their payout percentage and how low oil could go before the dividend is at risk? I would appreciate any other general comments about WCP, and in particular, would you buy today.
Thank-you

Q: I believe it's tax loss season. I understand that people will dump their losing stocks to utilize the losses against gains. I wonder are most of these stocks sold no longer worth holding or are they likely losers for a good reason and their future is bleak?

Please name a handful or two of names you believe are tax loss stocks this year.

Thanks

Q: Why is Celestica so volatile? Having just lost money on a stock, I'm gun shy to lose more on another one that I might be buying at a high. Do you have confidence buying here at this level? I know we can't be certain but do you think it's one of the better tech stocks to buy into today? Thanks.

Q: Down 30% on MDA, its been frustrating with the news of contract losses in the last few months, etc... Can you compare MDA vs TSAT. Would look to either fully sell MDA or trim MDA and buy some TSAT as a tax loss proxy. MDA still has good rev growth and backlog and you seem to like TSAT as you recently added more. What would you do? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.

Q: Hello 5i,

I tend to not ask questions as the database of Q/A is such a rich resource. One small gold company, ABI:ca. has only has one question, asked by uhhh, me in 2023. It has been a few years and I do still hold my small "risk on" position. But recently, with the soaring price or GOLD, it has taken off. Just curious if you could have a quick peek at it and provide any insights you feel are valuable. I love the fact that it is Canadian, has potential leverage with proven and probables, and could have it's following increase due to the present sector interest. Love your service.
