Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and team,

My wife's TFSA consists of the above holdings. NFI is down 73.4%, and XMA is a tiny holding where we park cash (no commission with iTrade). The others are doing well, but perhaps they're not the best when held in a TFSA. Are there any outright sells, and what suggestions do you have to employ the possible cash? We'd like a bit more oomph from this account. Your advice is very valuable.

Q: Re Marijuana Stocks..
Each State in the USA needs money. Do you think the need for money will encourage a State to legalize marijuana. How many States have legalized it and how many are looking to legalize it. Green Thumb had a good quarter. What are your thoughts and which Companies do you recommend. What about TLRY & HEXO. Biden's running mate is Pro marijuana.

Looks like USA will have to implement a Sales Tax like we have in Canada to pay for their deficit. RAK

Q: What do you think of Twitter? The platform, for better or worse, has become one of the main ways in which people get their news. Trump can't seem to leave the app despite publicly criticizing it and its founder. Despite this, the stock hasn't exploded in price like other social media platforms e.g. Facebook. I assume this is because a lack of profitability. What do you think of the long term prospects? Good buy for exposure into social media and technology? Bad idea if you already have a lot in Facebook?

Q: I am looking for some guidelines on when one should trim a position exceeding 5% of your holdings. I have a 7.3% a 6.3%, a 5.6%, a 7.0%, a 7.5%, and a 6.2%. 4 of these I have already trimmed some time ago. Is trimming more of a gut reaction or do you have something more concrete to guide you? Combined with this problem, when you do decide to trim, what (and why) % do you trim down to?
I have this problem, mainly, by following your excellent advice.
Your thoughts will be much appreciated. ram
