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: I am a 75 year old RIF investor and generally invest conservatively in dividend paying companies, but I do like to allot a portion of the investment to something that might fly.

I have previously owned GC and TSGI, but sold both at a loss and bought LVS, which at least pays a dividend. It too, has been a loser, so I would like to know whether There is more chance of recovery with GC or TSGI than LVS, or whether I should just stay the course.

What are your thoughts?

Q: Happy New Year to all
Is it possible that TSGI could double in a year? And GC as well? Or are your comments about them being favorites saying that growth is there but relative only to the volatility and weakness of other stocks.?? I realise this is a tough call...
Thank you

Q: With new TFSA money available I am considering bringing these companies from a 3.5% position to a full 5% position. Any concerns or cautions?

Q: Perhaps there is confusion between "averaging down" and portfolio rebalancing. If a person had bought GSY or TSGI at $50 and they each were 5% of a portfolio and were considered to have cheap valuations at that time. If, after the market correction they are each 3% of the portfolio with no change in fundamentals is there a problem with bringing each one back up to 5% ? I look at GSY and a consortium of investors put $46,460,000 into it at $50.50/share on Oct 10. I'm sure they did a lot of homework and considered it to be very cheap. It must be a steal now.

Q: About a month ago, I sold these equities, with the only reason being to take a tax loss against gains I took earlier in the year. This has left me with some liquidity. What do you recommend regarding re-purchasing these companies, or waiting for a more stable or upward momentum. Generally, my portfolio follows your balanced equity portfolio.
Grazi,
