Q: I have US$ in a US account and I am looking for how to best allocate the money. I am a little light in industrials, but was thinking about adding NFI and CAE in CAD accounts, or is there a better US company to add to my portfolio.

Other options are:

Healthcare I have about 5% in GUD and CSH, but I could add a US company or ETF

Or just keep it simple and add IWO.

As always thanks for the guidance.

Q: I have some cash to deploy and I want to add to some small or half positions in the following 10 companies: MG, NFI, SIS, MX, SJ, PBH, ZCL, WSP, BCE, ENB. I would like to buy into some of these stocks today and some later, to spread the risk of the market's ups and downs. Which of these would you suggest I buy today, and which should can I hold off on? I am otherwise well diversified, so that is not an issue for how this cash is used.
Please deduct as many credits as you like. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Yesterday I read an article in the Financial Post that was talking about how the Liberal govt was planning on putting aside 25% of the existing total allowable catch of Arctic surf clams to issue a new license that will be open to expressions of interest from “Indigenous entities” from the four Atlantic provinces and Quebec. I hold shares in CLR and I'm concerned that this could be a potentially massive setback to the companies operation. Especially since they have recently been investing heavily in new ships.

Is this old news and already accounted for in the share price? Or do you think this is the time to sell my shares in the company?

Q: I own half position in the 3 financial companies noted as well as some solid banks (BNS as an example). I am down in both CBL and GSY while doing alright in ECN. GSY has been on a move in the right direction lately, is it worth selling cbl with loss and go full position in GSY (I am down some as well)? Should I stay the course. My weighting in financials is at max. A little trimming would be OK too

Q: In these times of rising interest rates, I am wondering if it is better to own rate reset prefs or perpetuals? Also are all REITs better on the back burner for now, or are there some that still look attractive?
Thanks
