Q: Hi,
I am wondering what to do with CCL.B now that it has fallen quite dramatically. I trimmed an oversized position last August, leaving a normal weighting for the holding. With the decline I am now underweight. My question is should I top it up to bring it back to a normal weight, sell it since it is a small holding, or do nothing and live with the underweight position (it is my smallest holding at around 2% of equities).
Thank you, Michael

Q: In a response to Manish on Feb 20 you said occupancy was 98.2%. In reviewing SIA's report, this figure refers to LTC occupancy. It appears that total property occupancy was 87.9% in 2019, down from 91.7% in 2018. Could you clarify which figure is the appropriate one to use. Also, how does total occupancy and any yearly change compare to the other major players in senior residences.
Thank-you, Grant

Q: I am in the process of helping my fiance invest her money. She has 14 000 in her TFSA. Can you suggest a mix of stocks? She still has approximately 25 years left in her job as a nurse. As she has many more years of work, she is willing to take on a high degree of risk for a 'growth portfolio.'

Regards,
Ryan

Q: Hello 5i.
I have been fortunate to ride the renewables up recently, their growth has matched or exceeded that of the tech sector which is pretty amazing. Both sectors seem overvalued but good long term places to be. My question is what do you see in the future given their valuations and overall trends and should an investor consider an overweight position in either or both? best regards. gary

Q: Do you see the current Coronavirus concern as a potential roadblock for stock prices in general and, in particular, for Lightspeed (lspd) as increased fear could - most likely would - seriously damage the restaurant business. I realize many businesses would be damaged but restaurants are an optional and vulnerable expense. Is the market too complacent towards this spreading danger?
Thanks.
