Q: I hold these 4 stocks in my LIRA account and do hold some of your other income stock recommended in my RRSP account. I just wonder if these 4 stocks are okay in holding in a LIRA account or would you prefer a different mix of stocks in a LIRA account as both KWH.UN and VNR are utility stocks?If so what do you consider the best 4 stocks inside a LIRA account?

Q: Greetings 5i Research,

It has been said that it would be easier to turn a Newfoundland fisherman into a top banker than the other way around.

When I graduated in 1965, top dental incomes equaled top Canadian bankers' incomes. Today, top bankers earn more in two weeks than top earning dentists do in one year.

What happened? Was the investment in my education a poor choice?

(Not that anyone should feel sorry for dentists who, as a group, have replaced physicians and surgeons as Canada's top earners.)

Thank you for your well-thought-out answers to all my previous questions.

Milan

Q: Howdy!
I try to be a buy and hold investor with a long-term investment horizon in my RRSP account.
I have recently joined your service and am thinking about trying to reposition my RRSP account to emulate the sector allocation in your Balanced Portfolio.
About 30% of my portfolio is sitting on cash /cash equivalent investments right now; and I have almost 0% in the Technology and Basic Materials sectors.
As such, would you recommend a position in all of the nine equities that represent the Tech and Basic Materials sectors in your Balanced Portfolio?
Or have some of them (like CCL.B) peaked /not as much room left for appreciation compared to when first bought?

Q: I own MG and MTY in consumer cyclicals and contemplating adding another name among GIL, RCH, ZZZ or CTC.A. Please order them from best to worst as a solid complement to the two I already have, as part of an RRSP account with a 15+ years time frame. Please give a brief rationale and suggest another company if there is an obvious better choice. I note that the stock value of RCH is surprisingly stable on multi-year charts for a c. cyclical.
