Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I own all of the above in roughly equal weights in my TFSA. I am attempting to replicate your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I am also trying to get more defensive. I think I am overweight in the Info Tech sector. I am looking at a 5 year hold. I have cash to buy another position. What would your advice be - hold the cash or make a purchase. If purchase what would be your recommendation for defensive position?

Thanks for your help.

Q: In my portfolio I have following Canadian equities: AQN (4.9%), BCE (4.78%), BNS (4.64%), WXM (4.5%), SIS (3.8%), BEP (2.68%), MG (2.29%), KXS (2.03%), PBH (1.94%), MX (1.92%), COV (1.87%), TSGI (1.76%).

I have a full positions worth of cash I would like to add to my Canadian content and was wondering on your thoughts as to adding to one new stock (ATD.B, WSP, CCL.B, other suggestion), 2 half positions, or adding to my existing positions.

I have a 20 year time frame and comfortable with some risk.
Thank you.

Q: If I want to choose between TCL.A and CCL.B for a one year hold, which one would you recommend? I'm looking at the combined growth and knowing TCL.B is ahead of CCL.B on yield (4% vs. 1%) as is. Thank you for your insight.

Q: My materials sector(RRSP,TFSA) has CCL.B at 5% and MX at 2%. I am considering taking profit from CCL.B(approx. 1.5%) at this time and moving it to MX but acknowledge that I would not be trimming sector allocation to 5%. What would your recommendations be for both the short term and long term?

Q: My daughter TFSA contains the above stocks. She can add 1 (full position) or 2 (half position) this year. What would be a good fit for her present holdings? Would you suggest selling Stella Jones &/or Telus and replacing it with something else? She has a long time frame as she will not need the money in the foreseeable future.

Q: Hi 5i:
I have held both before and sold for gains. Would you favour one over the other now or take partial position in both assuming they both are buys? TFSA or RIF or it doesn't matter which? I am a long term investor and I feel well diversified.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Tom
