Q: In response to a question about a subscriber's portfolio you said “KO and JNJ we would consider less attractive for various reasons. We might add VZ and PFE instead.”. I am holding JNJ in a non-registered account with a cost base of $58.36/share. JNJ is 2.5% of a diversified portfolio. Is it still worth making the switch for PFE? Over the years, JNJ seemed to be a much better managed company than PFE. What has changed?

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and 5i Team:
Would you recommend to hang on to my half position in AAPL OR switch to one of the following: NVDA, XLNX or OLED for a 6-12 month hold? If the latter which one is your favourite given current market place environment and cap appreciation prospects?

Thank you kindly,
Romeo

Q: I have owned JPM, TD and BNS for a few years. The thinking was it would enable me to spread my investments outside of Canada. Given the lacklustre performance of JPM and the fact that TD has significant US assets and BNS is international, I am thinking of swapping JPM for VISA (or MC if you think that is better) to get financial assets that may act just a bit differently than the banks. Does this thesis make sense?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i, I need some guidance, I need to sell some of my stocks.
In my cash account I have 25 stocks , 15 of them are doing OK (some are doing great), and around 10 are in the red (with 3 or 4 bad -at least temporarily ) , the question is, would you sell the top ones, would you shave off some from the top stocks, would you sell the ones that are not doing so well. I understand your respond would be a suggestion only. I'm inclined to shave from my top gainers and sell the bottom ones.
Thanks

Q: Hello, 5i's sector classification for NFI is Industrials. However, when I look at either the TSX classification or the Company profile (5i Research) or Yahoo Finance, etc., all of these put NFI as Consumer Cyclical. I understand it could be difficult to classify, in that case would you advise to defer to the TSX classification? Thanks, Gervais
