Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thank you for your rapid response! Followup question (feel free to deduct extra credits as needed), If I were to replace SLQT, FIVE, and PAYC with three new US positions, which would you recommend? Please exclude these equities as I already have positions in them: MSFT, PFE, IBM, MDT, ADBE, PYPL, GOOG, NVDA, TOL.

Again, for longterm growth in my US dollar TFSA, risk profile in-between 5i Growth and Balanced Portfolios, disregard sector/market cap considerations.

Thanks again!

Q: It's time to make my annual TFSA contribution. The goal of my TFSA is long term capital appreciation utilizing a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio of US equities, with risk profile somewhere between that of the 5i Growth and Balanced portfolios.

Currently, my TFSA holds: ADBE, GOOG, FIVE, NVDA, PAC, PYPL, SLQT, TOL.

Are any of these in the 'don't need to be owned' category? I am looking at SLQT in particular, still languishing amidst ongoing legal woes. Should this be kept? If not, would you please suggest a replacement? If so, then which of these should I add to: ADBE, NVDA, SLQT, TOL? I am full/overweight the other positions. Please disregard sector and market cap considerations; I am fully diversified in my other portfolios.

Please deduct as many credits as deemed appropriate for a complete answer, thank you very much and all the best for 2022.

Q: I have assembled a few names from the US exchanges that have had a tough few months and are likely experiencing some year end portfolio adjustments, ie, Tax Loss Selling. From the names I have here, can you identify two that you feel will have a better 2022, also curious if you might have an additional name for consideration. Thanks very much, happy holidays to you folks as well as all our 5i members

Q: Hello,

The last question for SLQT dates back to August when it was trading just below $14. It's now trading around $9 and was recently near a 52-week low.

I believe you were favourably disposed to this company earlier this year.

I'm interested in hearing your current take on the company and whether it is now in your informed opinion more of a buy.

Thanks!

Marc.

Q: I own the following in my US-denominated TFSA:

ADBE, DAL, FIVE, PYPL, PAYC, TOL, SLQT, GOOG, AL

The goal of this account is high-conviction, long-term growth strategy, focused on eight US equities, with a risk profile somewhere in between that of your Balanced and Growth portfolios.

A) If I had to sell one of the 9 holdings listed, which should it be?

B) Are there any others that should be sold in light of the investment goal stated?

C) Which of these should I add to, if any, or, which new postition should I consider (US market only) that would complement the existing positions well? Please note that I am already fully-weighted/over-weighted in FIVE, GOOG, PYPL, and PAYC.

Thank you. Please deduct the appropriate number of credits as needed.
