Q: Hello 5i,
I’ve changed my investment goals for my children’s resp. It will be spent within the next 6 years, so after the December correction I plan to liquidate. At this point, I have $5 k more than I promised them. The stocks listed above are those that remain in the account.
Going forward should I:
1) sell all the stocks and buy an etf for 5k?
2) if an etf, which one for max growth?
3) if one were to keep only one or two stocks, which would be kept for most potential for gains? (This would be instead of the etf).

I would not have grown the resp to its current value had it not been for 5i. Thank you for helping me fund my kids education!

Q: Hi 5iR TEam, I am struggling a bit with the concept of having a diversified portfolio, versus holding the highest quality stocks regardless of their sector. Ok, as a practical example I already own GIB and KXS and would like to add ENGH. The result for my portfolio would mean I'm overweight in the Technology sector. I have been overweight the Financial Services (Banks) for years and never regretted it. Is there an argument to be made for over weighting a sector when you can select high quality stocks and can't find that same quality stock by diversifying?
Lastly, am I correct in assuming that ENGH, GIB, and KXS are some of the best IT companies trading on the TSX.
Thanks Team. Cheers, Chris

Q: I have CSU, KXS, CSCO, QCOM + PHO (small position) IT companies that make 10% of my portfolio. I am planning to increase the IT portion to 15-20% by adding 2-3 more IT companies. Is it OK to increase the IT portion now or wait? Which one should I add, delete or swap (both US and CAN companies)? Can you please rank the above-mentioned companies? I am looking for good companies with top management but not risky small cap companies.

Q: Further to my earlier question about CGI's latest results. PRNewswire and RBC Direct Investing show revenue of $2.96 billion which matched estimates of $2.94-2.97. The only 'down' value was the slight drop in 'cash for operating activities' whatever that is. I still don't understand the drop in its share price.

Q: Both appear to be solid performers over time...which of these two would you buy today and for what reasons? Are they different enough that one could buy both without being in the same niche?
