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

Q: Hello 5i team, I am slowly reducing my exposure to equities for two reasons: position my portfolios ( US + CDN) for a possible recession or slowdown and also, I am 66 year old and my portfolios are 80% equities.
I have taken small positions to above bonds ETFs.. May I have your comments and also, would you recommend short/long or medium bonds and treasuries? As well, do you have other recommendations for someone my age? Thanks CR

Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests we increase our US and International allocation to 35% and 25% (Currently much lower in both) and also decrease our equities and increase our fixed income to achieve a 60/40% split . (Currently we are at 85/15%). Looking at XBAL as a simple way to help achieve this, using some cash and proceeds of TSGI which I plan on selling soon. Any concerns or other suggestions ?
Thanks as always.

Q: Have $20,000.00 sitting in a LIRA account. Please recommend 3-4 ETFs that I can hold for the next twenty years. and drip (no bonds) would like to double every 10 years. Would Dividend Growth ETFs a good choice over that time frame or just growth stock ETFs?
Thanks Cec

Q: Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP.UN) now forms just over 9% of our joint registered investments and although that is much higher percentage than any other holding (and may be inadvisable), I am somewhat reluctant to sell any, because it is one that has been a winner from the day I bought it. That is in stark contrast to quite a few other stocks that I apparently bought at their height which have since plummeted.

I need a trimming strategy and would like you to give a detailed description of how best to maintain the number of shares held as long as possible, but sell some if the price starts to drop. Perhaps there is a link that you would prefer to send to me.

I have read your opinions on Limit and Stop Limit sales at one stage or other and have also tried this, but it hasn't always worked as I thought it would.

What would you suggest is the best way to address this?

Q: Hi 5i
I believe NMX will be reporting Fri nov 15...,what are your expectations for results? Given recent uncertainty over financing and continual decline in NMX share price to 0.18, in your opinion does this project have any chance of completion. Is it worth any consideration at this point or is it destined for bankruptcy?
Thx for any insights.

Thx
