Investment Q&A

Q: Gentlemen,
I want to sell AMZN
Please suggest for one or two defensive stock (any sector except Tech, low or no dividend) ?
Thanks
Regards

Q: We have held STZ for some time, thinking that with the legalization of cannabis, this would be an attractive stock to hold. However, we have been very disappointed with the results. What action would be recommend at this point?

Q: Sorry !
My question was about SAM Boston Beer, not Starcore International Mines. I should have been more explicit.
Your views on Boston Beer would be appreciated, together as your best buy in the sector.
Have a good day,
Jacques

Q: With the Asset allocator suggesting 35% international and 40% in US stocks, my current stocks in those regions include AYX, HOLX, NVDA, and TEAM, what would be other growth stocks in the US and international for 5-10 year holds?

Q: thanks for reply on STZ, instead of adding to STZ, at x18, already over 3% of total portfolio, would CSU at x40 , your glorious report, be better since I have little equity in Canadian firms, except TD and a helluva lot in CA energy. Somehow I doubt it ...but want to hear your view.

Q: I have made very good returns in 2018 on Canopy Growth and HMMJ and have since sold all positions. I am considering a base position totaling 3 to 5% for a long term hold. As clarity evolves over long term performance I can adjust my holdings. How would you rank the three names given or would it be most prudent to diversify across all three initially?

Q: Hi 5i,

What would be your top 10 names for a U.S. growthy balanced portfolio?

TIA

Q: What would you say is driving STZ lower? Would you step in here and buy it or wait for it to settle down?
Thank you.

Q: salut 5i! I have just sold my WEED holdings (at a nice profit .. also own small amounts of APHA and HEXO) and am contemplating buying either STZ or VOO .. with the general objective of further diversifying an already quite well diversified portfolio (stocks and etfs) .. I also hold VGG, VDU, FDN, XHY, and ZUH .. your thoughts? thanks!

Q: Hello, my question is regarding WEED, can you shed some light on Constellation brands investment and warrants it has that can potentially allow them to become over 50% owner and what affect that could have on the stock if they exercised them. Their most recent investment August 15th was at $48.60/share, when I see this stock drop below that price I feel as though I should buy it... would that large investment at that share price technically limit the downside of WEED? Do the warrants to purchase more shares limit the upside? Thanks for your guidance.

Q: I am looking to buy 3 or 4 American large caps, dividend paying, with at least moderate growth. I already own MCFT, DWDP, UTX, GLW, INTC. Any suggestions?? Thanks Jim

Q: Constellation Brands made a heavy investment in Canopy Growth and the stock drops significantly. What's the deal with the market reaction? Do you still consider this a buy?

Q: STZ is getting punished for their earnings miss. How often do they miss earnings? Are there any significant concerns that would be enough to indicate that I should sell? I hold it as my only US staples stock to compliment your balanced portfolio.

Q: What is happenings with STZ this morning June 29, 2018? It is down over $15.00, that is big. Is in time to step-in and buy now? Thank you, Herbert

Q: I would like to sell Starbucks while I am still up a bit. Can you suggest a replacement?

Q: I hold these in my us tfsa and each are weighted to about 4% of my total portfolio except nvda which grew to a nice 7%. I have some cash to add and wondering which I should top off first?

Q: Given the weakness in consumer staples in the US, if you were looking in this sector what are some names that'd be on your watch list?

Q: Please deduct number of credits that you deem appropriate. I essentially follow and hold your balanced equity portfolio. It is supplemented with the following US stocks. JPM, STZ, SPOT, NVDA, GOOG, TEAM, UTX, HXL, BIIB and WYNN.

I originally bought WYNN for a trade on the recent dip caused by the Steve Wynn situation. Should I keep it as a long term position or take my profits and look elsewhere.

I have funds for one more position. Do you have any suggestions or should I add to some of the stocks I have.

Are there any of these stocks that you would sell and if so what would you suggest for a replacement.

Thank you for your service! I am sure someone else will ask but please let us know about your thoughts on SIS earnings release. It looked like a miss.

Q: HI Peter, Would you recommend adding to RHS as its price is lower now. Or you would prefer 4-5 companies solid blue chip dividend paying companies to buy and hold ( avoid MER and capture more dividend). In that case also, can you please rank them in order of your preference. UL, PEP, HRL, K, or any other of your favorites.
Much Thanks.
