Q: Good Afternoon,
I am a very diversified investor. having stock in almost every sector and not over invested in each sector. In the sector of real estate I am only 5% invested and I am looking to add one stock out the 5 that I have mentioned. I understand that BRE is more of a service company in real estate but it is still class in the real estate sector. Can you recommend me which one of the 5 should I invest in?
Thank You.

Paul

Q: Hello 5I team,
Thanks for the great service.

In my TFSA, I hold the following:
AW.UN (15.2%); BPY.UN (4.4%); BYD.UN (15%); DSG (5.3%), EMA (5/5%); ENB (10.3%); GC (4.2%); GUD (0.7%); JWEL (1.9%); KXS (7.5%); PEW.VN (1.6%); SAP (4.5%); SHOP (17.1%); SLF (4.1%); TSGI (2.6%).

I have about 12k to add to the above and I would like your thoughts on which 2 stock I should select from the above and/or any of 2 alternate selections you might suggest, I am interested in positions that would include some dividend growth, some capital appreciation, lower volatility and improved diversification. I note that my weighting in financial and healthcare are least represented currently.

Your suggestions and details for your selections are very much appreciated.

Q: Good day,
What are your thoughts on CPG. My avg price is in the low teens, do you suggest that I buy at these levels to avg down? I have a longer term time horizon ahead of me and can wait this out. Likely missing out on better opportunities by doing so.
Thoughts?

Q: I am retired and currently own both companies for the long term. Bip at 3% and Bam at 5%. I want to raise my exposure to the Brookfield companies. Looking for a stable dividend and some growth. I also like BPY. Would you rather raise BIP, to 5% add to Bam or add a chunk of BPY. say at 3% for a first piece of it. Is there an overlap problem owning various Brookfield companies ?

Q: Good day,
I have positions in both of these Canadian banks. I do have a long term investment timeframe ahead of me. I am sitting on cash in my portfolio. Do you recommend continue buying at these levels? Or should I wait until the market uncertainty clears, or buy into another sector?
thank you.

Q: I know that you like Chartwell, but I am not certain why your strong endorsement.. Looking at the share price performance the shares currently sell at the same price as 3 years ago; so other than the dividend there has been no growth over the past 3 years. Not looking for a lot but some small token growth would be nice to instill some confidence in the company's management team. I own the shares, have done so for some time, but am now thinking that there are better income opportunities out there. Can you provide me with some rationale for not parting with my shares in Chartwell?
