Q: Hi,

I'm looking to start investing a lump sum over the next 12 months or so. What list of Canadian stocks would you recommend at current levels? Do you have 5-7 names that you find particularly attractive right now. Looking for a mix of growth and income with not too much risk.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Good morning all,
In an earlier answer to Dave it was suggested that "we might sell ..... and one of KXS/CSU. For clarification does this mean that you somehow consider KXS and CSU somewhat equivalent? I was surprised to see these two companies considered as one or other type positions and would appreciate a bit of an explanation.
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello 5i
I own all of the companies noted. I'm wondering if there is excessive overlap here and if I should sell one or more in an effort to reduce overall holdings?
Thanks
Dave

Q: CSU.CA hit a new high yesterday. About 2 weeks ago they reported 3Q results where they missed projections. After the results the stock was slightly weak and now hits a new high. I am not complaining since we own the stock (thanks to you) but I am puzzled that the stock hit a new high so soon after missing a quarter. Do you find the trading unusual or pretty normal?
Tax loss selling seems to be shaping up to be much more muted this year compared to last year. Maybe investors are just more optimistic and that is the reason for CSU recent stock action?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hello 5I
My holdings include, with total portfolio weights::
ATD.B (4.65%); BYD.UN (5.65%); CP (3.65); CSU (3.50%); GSY (4.6%); WSP (4.20%); ZEM (4.5%)

I have concern about a possible recession and economic slow down, and I would like to structure the equities in my portfolio with a bit more of a conservative and defensive tilt.

I otherwise would want to keep these positions but do you see any of these 7 being less conservative and defensive? With my objective in mind, should any be reduced or eliminated?

thanks for your excellent service.

Q: We have been warned that this could happen. Still, I am sure that many of us are concerned on the “three black crows “ and the “triple breakdown” that we are seeing . CSU has plummeted $100.00 / sh this week .

Even for those of us that trim , this has been a big hit. Based on your experience , should we expect the price to continue its descent , or should we be expecting some re-tracement at this point.
THANKS

Q: Hi
I have done well with Constellation software, having trimmed it a few time back to 5% of my portfolio.
It is now at 5% and I am wondering if the "easy money" has been made in this stock. I am considerably overweight in technology and considering selling half (2.5 %) of My CSU holding
and letting the remainder ride;
My other tech holdings are GOOG AAPL KXS LSPD SHOP

Q: Hello Peter & team,

Have been away for a short while and am now happy to once again be a part of the 5i Family. My Question..

I have approx $20,000 to invest. It is a credit to your team how well the 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio has performed. I will not be ashamed to invest my funds via following your lead. In looking at the portfolio and with "Growth" in mind, are you able to advise which of the companies within the portfolio you would start new positions?

Thanks for all you do
