Q: Hello 5i:
We currently hold about 4% of our portfolio in CSU.DB; bought first about 3 years ago with subsequent additions. It's been a very good and stable performer (thanks for the tip as in addition to the excellent dividend, we also have capital gains). Can you provide another name, possibly A ranked company that would have a similar fixed income contribution? Or, should we merely increase our weighting in CSU.DB?
btw, we also hold CSU (the regular equity) at about 3% of our portfolio.

thanks

Q: I currently have positions in Kinaxis and Constellation with allocations of 4.28% and 2.07% respectively. Would it be advantageous to reverse the allocations. Selling Kinaxis would involve taking a large capital gain.

Thank you for the great service.

Q: Hi team,

I'm putting money towards my TFSA (10K) and was wondering what you think would be the best way to invest it. I was considering starting with 5 stocks: PBH, SIS, CSU, KXS, TOY. My second thought was choosing 2-3 of those stocks and adding in ETF's. Thirdly, I was thinking to invest investing fully into ETF's. I would say that I'm in between balanced and growth in terms of risk.

What are your thoughts? And if the ETF route, which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Q: Hi 5i,

I am so pleased with your service and of course, a rating system which directed me to invest in CSU.

The equity continues to rise to new all time highs. I am NOT complaining, but there must be some point at which it is overvalued and you would, I assume, reduce your rating. Or, could it move to 900, 1,300, 8,000, 1,000,000 on us. Not to be to far out with my question, but are there limits to growth with CSU ?
