Q: Hello 5i,
I’ve changed my investment goals for my children’s resp. It will be spent within the next 6 years, so after the December correction I plan to liquidate. At this point, I have $5 k more than I promised them. The stocks listed above are those that remain in the account.
Going forward should I:
1) sell all the stocks and buy an etf for 5k?
2) if an etf, which one for max growth?
3) if one were to keep only one or two stocks, which would be kept for most potential for gains? (This would be instead of the etf).

I would not have grown the resp to its current value had it not been for 5i. Thank you for helping me fund my kids education!

Q: Right now all of my stocks are up expect for three which I am down significantly in: TFII. TSGI, PBH. I am thinking of taking my losses on these three. I realize that not all stocks in a portfolio will be up at the same time, but the market has been on fire lately with even boring stocks soaring, which makes me concerned that these stocks are down for a reason and will fall even more if we have a recession. What are your thoughts?

Q: Good afternoon 5I.

When I bought CPD I thought it would hold its value better then it has. I did feel better when I looked at your income portfolio I see its down 20% and you still hold it.
What will it take to make CPD change direction?
Do you still feel like its a good position to have in a income account?

Thanks

Q: In response to your answer to my question. A capital gain cost on an interest vehicle removes any benefit of investing in the mutual fund (TDB8152), when the Canadian dollar is falling, as it surely is. It would be better to leave the money in cash. Is there a better alternative?
