Investment Q&A

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

Q: These 9 stocks were approximately equally weighted in unregistered dividend account before NPI and BCE took a big dive. The overall yield of the account is around 4.8% which I have been happy with, but the loss of capital in the 2 mentioned is troubling.

Objective of the account is to generate retirement dividend income for the next 5 to 10 years.
Other accounts provide pretty decent diversification by sector / geography / growth etc.


Question 1. Should I take the loss on these two and redeploy into the other holdings?

Question 2. Any glaring omissions in this account which you think I should add in here?

Q: Thanks for your reply on the effects of Trump tariffs on various stocks I own . I will be doing a little re-balancing based on your answers . However you didn't opine on two on the list . ENB which I would suspect may be affected by a tariff on oil and AND which has both Canadian and American operations though I'm not sure of how much of each they have. Thanks again for your terrific service ......

Q: Hi!

Regarding these 2 companies which one has more growth prospects, better value for 2025? Are they overlapping businesses or complimentary to each other? I have a nice gain in MS thinking about trimming and buying some GS.

Ok thanks!

Q: You have remained quite positive on Hammond.
Can you advise where their products are produced (I suspect most products for NA are produced in Mexico, therefore subject to any Trump tarries on Mexico, but I may be wrong).
Also do they have the capability of doing some manufacturing in the US

Q: Hello 5i
Since last earnings and most recent Q&A in 5i (Nov 7) this share price has been falling.

Is the price action related to the previous earnings miss or earnings growth expectations changing due to business or Tariff concerns?

With a 5 year view on this name, does one just continue to hold through the downside volatility with anticipation for better future earnings and share price?

Thank

Q: I have a small position in Element Solutions and am thinking of adding to it but can't find any previous questions. I'm also thinking of adding to Amphenol and starting a new position Roblox, Meta and Costco.. This would be in the growth portion of my portfolio. Or I could add to Vertiv and Axon. I have about 70k USD to deploy.

Thanks
