Q: Good Morning
The yield on this stock is almost 10%. I am down quite a bit on this stock. Should I sell at this price or buy more. Is the yield sustainable?
Thanks

Q: I currently own:

5i balanced equity except for goldcorp
6 Blue chips - TRI, BIP.UN, TD, L, BCE,FTS
10 stocks from the growth portfolio

I would like to take advantage of the market pull back. But I can't top up everything. Should I focus on the blue chips because we are entering a bear market, the 5i portfolio or would the riskier stocks be better because they've been hit harder?

Q: The first reaction, for so many of us not well versed in a difficult market, is to panic. And then, this morning, I read this suggestion in one of your replies.

"But if you are not withdrawing capital from your portfolio, this is just another week in the markets."

Those words, more than anything I've read anywhere else, made the most sense to me, and put everything in perspective. Thank you!

Q: Just to add I do not recall the HORIZONS BETAPRO S&P/TSX 60 INVERSE ETF (TSE:HIX) being mentioned for us Canucks on the TSX.

It is an ETF.

It is an inverse meaning it rises when the S&P/TSX 60 falls and coversely it falls when the S&P/TSX 60 rises. Similar to the U.S's VXX.

Q: The stock is 19.40. Even if it seems 'on sale' considering recency history (last year), when oil was last at this level, the stock went as low as 8.50. Was it purely a crisis of confidence? Or, did vacancy rates increase quite a bit? Even though the yield of 6.5% looks good, the 30% exposition to Alberta is bound to show increasing vacancy rates over the the next 2 years. The chart also doesn't show much support from here. What do you think? Waiting for a few weeks shouldn't hurt right?

Q: Hi, thanks for your recent response. Although, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I understand my APPL weight is a little high, but I was really looking for a view of selling COO to buy DIS. Where do you see more upside potential in the next year or 2? Thanks
