Q: I am a 74-year-old, retired, conservative investor. Please advise if investing new money into REITS and Preferreds would be advisable at this time when it is likely that interest rates will be rising in the near term. My portfolio is currently balanced with 50% in 5-year laddered GICs, 10% in corporate bonds, and 40% in income generating ETFs; 51% Canada, 32% U.S., 15% Europe, and 2% Asia. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,

Can you please explain to me the difference between the following selling techniques:

Stop market, stop limit, trailing stop market and trailing stop limit. I am a new investor and would appreciate some concrete examples. Also feel free to supplement your explanations with links to any good videos. I find this tricky...I hate being stuck holding a stock for years before it bounces back.

Q: I've been watching ATZ with interest, and fear. Do you have any information on the present shipping chain tangles that are affecting so many shipments from Asia? If ATZ suddenly finds itself waiting for stock to arrive, quaterly figures could quickly deteriorate and stock prices could tumble. Or am I just seeing imaginary problems? Does ATZ have a Plan B if shipments of stock are delayed at point of shipment? To open a partial position now or wait for shipment problems to be resoved ... that is the question? Thanks for your continued help, Elmer.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for your great service over the last two years. I’m very happy with how I’m doing based on your insights.

My portfolio analytics suggest I am underweight in consumer cyclicals and consumer defensive.

Please recommend your top 3 US buys in each area.

Also, please suggest your top 3 US buys right now regardless of sector.
