Q: I own Wallmart Costco and Dollarama in the Consumer defensive sector. They each comprise about 2% of my portfolio holdings for a total of 6%. Would it make sense to just own the big two compounders Wallmart and Costco and sell Dollarama?

Q: Four oil companies make up 30 percent of my portfolio. Purchased during covid and have had big gains in all four. The yield on cardinal based on cost base is 22 percent. This is stupid I know but if not for these four my portfolio is a disaster. It’s basically kept me flat while the tech sector has taken a dive. Should I start to exit some of the oil positions and where do you go if the majority of the 5i favourites are all ready owned ?
