Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am setting up a TFSA for my wife. I have been managing my own TFSA for 7 years but my wife has maintained her account with a BMO investment advisor. We also both have RIFs managed by the same advisor. My TFSA has far outperformed the accounnts managed by the professional (thanks to your advice) but my wife is very risk adverse. She has about $100 K to invest. We are both in our 70s and don't have pressing needs for the cash. Could you. suggest a basket of Canadian/US stocks/etfs that would provide some low risk growth with a 10 year horizon.

Q: Hello 5i,

NVDA is our largest position. GOOGL is 2nd and AAPL is 5th . With potential headwinds for GOOGL (except for Waymo) and AAPL (lower sales and China bs), would it be prudent to trim a full position of GOOGL and/or AAPL to a ¾ or ½ position and reallocate funds to other stocks?

We have a few options for those funds. Sector allocation is not important.

Increase positions in 1 or 2 of: CROX, ASPN, TMDX, CLBT, UBER, AMD, AVGO
Add new positions in 1 or 2 of: CECO, CRM, SMCI, VRT, SNOW, AAON, BKNG


Thank you

D&J

Q: Hello 5I
I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and Thank you for all you do for us.
I recently bought some Honeywell (HON)shares thinking that the spinout that they announced was a good move. I was comparing them to Fortive (FTV) (Not many past questions on this company) and now I am not sure if they are the better vehicle. Could you please weigh in on this and if needed, add any other name thar you may like more. I am not worried about tax implications of selling. Which direction would you take if it was your portfolio?
Once again, Thank you
Jeremy
