Q: portfolio strategy
the Buffet quote / instruction to his heirs, is to put 90 % of the portfolio in a S&P 500 etf and the remaining 10 % in a fixed income ETF.
I believe his arguments are
1. simplicity for the non professional heir (and not likely to be too interested in managing a portfolio)
2. the S&P 500 is adequately diversified in sector and global diversification is accounted for by virtue of the majority of companies having a global presence, example apple products sell everywhere.

Assuming same parameters, heirs who receive a sizeable portfolio who are too busy with no interest in managing it and don't want to hire "professional" help.

Please provide your opinion on this "Buffet" approach Pros - Cons and how would you perhaps editorialize or tweak this approach to optimize it,

Q: Strategy question - portfolio rebalancing
specific time of year to rebalance, is one month better than another?
Frequency - rebalance once or twice per year ?
How much off of the allotted percent of portfolio is the threshold for rebalancing- if target for a stock is 5 % of portfolio, is the cut off for selling and deploying elsewhere - 6 %, 7 % or more?

Q: Can you comment on your thoughts on gold, silver and how their big moves might affect other commodities such as copper, or oil?

You've hit some massive winners in tech and just what stocks might work given leverage to these commodities?

Q: hello 5i:
President Trump is going to go ahead with the Golden Dome, whether Canada participates or not. It sounds as if most Democrats also support and would continue the program. In your estimation, which companies would participate or benefit most from this undertaking?

Q: Greetings,

Team 5i seems to be regularly optimistic on TRI and yet I see nothing on the 12month, 6 month or 1 months charts that reflects this.

Insider buys seem scant, however, BMO asset management added 18.7% more shares (simplywallstreet) over 4 months ago, while prices were taking elevator downwards.

Can you kindly explain why you think this business will flourish in the future?

Cheers
A

Q: Based on your recent comments, after a near 50 % drawdown from its peak, CSU stock should find a bottom soon.

Thank You
