Q: Hello 5i...with respect to Cdn Industrials...I am looking to consolidate 9 positions into 6 to 7 holdings...thaey are ( largest to smaillest holding ) WSP, TFII, EIF, ATS, CJT, HPS.A, TRI, TVK, DRX, I am looking for some sort of combo of stable growth ( I have good gains in WSP and TFII and will hold, but could trim ) and potential exceptional growth. Would appreciate if you could rank based on growth and how you might see a consolidation effort for these.

One option being considered is to move completely out of CJT and /or ATS to US industrials and looking at potentials FIX or TT... would like your opinion on this move and if you have preference for one or another suggested potential US industrial ( I already hold AXON )

thanks/Art

Q: My industrial portfolio currently has a light exposure to the industrial sector. I’d like to diversify by adding some industrial stocks in the US and Canada. Additionally, in the consumer sector, I already hold ATD, TOY, PBH, ULTA, and COST. To further enhance my consumer holdings, could you recommend several consumer stocks in the US and one or two in Canada? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Hi team. I'm ok with some risk and am 100% equities with an average 13% return per year over 10 years thanks to your team!!

Now my question. We sold an investment property with the plan to use the money to fund a new investment property which will be built in 3 years...so this is my time frame. The money will be split between a TFSA & a taxable account, with the taxable account having about 75%.

What do you think if these for the TFSA - CSU, BN, SHOP and DOL?

These for the taxable - WSP, ENB, TFII, DSG, BNS, SU, ATD, BEPC, H, and a little more DOL?

Would you reorganize these between the 2 accounts? Alternatively, would you choose something else due to the timeframe?

Thanks a lot!

Q: Retired. This question is regarding the proposed June 25/24 tax changes.

I have unrealized capital gains of $110k and my wife has $30k. We also have a house worth roughly $5-600k.

4 questions:

1. My understanding is, upon the last death of my wife or I, the proceeds of the house will pass on to our beneficiaries (our kids)....tax free. Correct?

2. My wife's $30k unrealized CG isn't large enough to warrant being proactive. Agree?

3. My $110k unrealized CG is large enough to at least look into it further. My largest unrealized CG is in WSP (even though I have trimmed it 18 times) = $32k.

I see 2 options = #1 is do nothing because the house doesn't factor in and the $110k is well below the $250k threshold. #2 = sell some or all of WSP, then buy it all back the next day.

Any thoughts, knowing you can't provide personal advice?

4. Just to confirm, because WSP would be sold for a capital gain, there is no need to wait 30 days to rebuy....agree?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Given the recent weakness in ACN wondering if you thought this would be a better holding over a company like WSP?

Q: I have 1/2 to 2/3 positions in these four names. They pulled back recently and I am considering adding to make them full positions. Would you proceed today or wait for better prices? Any price targets to recommend.

Q: a sunlife life insurance policy was purchased for grandchildren as an investment for them on the advice of a financial planner- I am embarrassed to say so far $9000 in annual premiums has been paid, with 11 more remaining before the policy is paid in full. If I cancel this policy it will be a loss. However; the dollars which would have gone to sunlife could be used for a better investment. Your suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you- (P.S.- I submitted this ? a moment ago-but my screen went black so I don't no if the ? was sent the first time)
