Q: I am just getting started in DIY investing and have been introduced to 5i by family members who have had great success. I am looking for five-ten really solid Canadian dividend paying stocks to form the core of a balanced portfolio. In my TFSA, I have BCE, TD, ENB, BNS, SLF. Should I be looking elsewhere? Thank you!

Q: Good Morning
I’m in the process of some year end house cleaning with the idea to reduce the number of holdings and adding some more upside potential. Considering selling partial positions in GUD and ATA and with the proceeds topping up two of either TRI,ECN TFII or AD. Would you firstly endorse the sells and which two would top up at this time.
Thank you for your continued guidance and support.

Q: There is one thing I don't understand. GUD bought Biotoscana one year ago I believe for almost $200M. The stock ran up 20% on that announcement to nearly $9 and now it is $5.50's. The thing I do not understand is didn't that acquisition do anything for the top or bottom line and hence give a positive light on the stock? You have said the last few months that investors are bored and waiting for an acquisition.
Isn't Biotoscana the acquisition? Thanks

Q: I am underweight consumer discretionary stocks (also underweight US stocks). I only own AMZN and REAL in this space. Considering ATZ or GRMN. Are there any others I should consider. What would be your suggestion to add? My portfolio has a mix of about 25 US and Canadian stocks based on reading your question section daily. Thanks for all you do for the independent investor!

I'd like long term hold of five years, preferably without too much volatility. Which 2 or 3 stocks would be your best bet and why?

Q: I'm still holding shares in GuestLogix and noticed that there's been some trading activity the last week or so. Any idea what's happening? They're still worthless, but they bounced 1000% from the bottom of worthless.

Q: First, thanks for the great service you provide, it is much appreciated!

I would like your thoughts on this Company for a long term hold. It looks like management has quite a bit of experience in the cannabis industry, and they have a number of offices in major N. American. Any insight into the financials and your thoughts on how the psychedelics and psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy market will evolve would be appreciated.

Q: Another question regarding sector allocation. I am overweight in Financials (20%), but would like to add either SLF or TRI. The Financials I currently hold are: BAM, BIPC, X and VISA. Are the economic drivers sufficiently different for either SLF or TRI that I could justify further overweighting this sector? Thank you.
