Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm 21 years old and am planning on making a TFSA portfolio of Canaidan companies (Mostly Blue-chip dividend paying stocks, IE, Banks, Telcos etc....) to buy and hold forever. I'm also planning on adding SHOPIFY in my TFSA and placing BABA in my RRSP. I was thinking XAW in RRSP as well top get american/international exposure, Just wondering your thoughts on this and any advice would be great. Also do you think it's a good idea to invest now or wait for a market correction or just avergae in over time in all of these companies.

Q: I'm doing a review of my equity holdings. I note that there are 4 CDN stocks that have each made slow, but consistent gains, since purchase. Also, each pay a dividend. However, as components of my overall portfolio, they now represent less 2% (average is 1.7). (During the same period, my other equities have grown to surpass 5%). My question is whether I should increase those small weightings (all held for 5+ years with no worrisome setbacks)-- or let them go and deploy that capital to other more growth-oriented prospects. Thanks.

Q: On the US side, we've owned TOT, CSCO, MO and PM for some time now and they have languished. Is patience merited or should I sell these positions and replace them with other US stocks? We're retired and want to preserve capital but do like dividend income. thanks

Q: Hello 5i team, I am slowly reducing my exposure to equities for two reasons: position my portfolios ( US + CDN) for a possible recession or slowdown and also, I am 66 year old and my portfolios are 80% equities.
I have taken small positions to above bonds ETFs.. May I have your comments and also, would you recommend short/long or medium bonds and treasuries? As well, do you have other recommendations for someone my age? Thanks CR
