Q: HI, This retired income couple want to invest 5K for our 20 year old grand daughter from our TFSA. To do so we have to sell some of our holdings in this account. Our largest holding SLF to our smallest TPZ are available with profits in most. Please suggest best to worst to select for raising the necessary cash. Our plan is to use the cash to purchase VGT.US or perhaps your other preferred etfs to be used in about 3-5 years. Thanks

Q: I own these 3 stocks. I would like to own only one for a long term investment, as they all seem to be in the same field. Is this a good idea or are they different enough to hold all 3.
Thank you!

Q: I've read the Nov. 4, 2021 report and all questions since. Given premium to peers in Nov report and its more than 50% decline, taking into consideration price changes since Nov in peers (KXS, DSG, SYZ), would you say the case is stronger on a relative basis today to consider TCS for a buy? If you ranked the 4 today where would you put TCS and if it's in the 3 or 4 position, what particular weaknesses are causing you to rank it lower? Thanks for all you do. John

Q: We have new money to invest and would like to use it to correct our only significant sector weighting imbalance, which is in technology. The sector is currently represented by CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP, where all but CSU are down.

5i has often stressed the importance of both maintaining target sector weights and not leaving too much cash idle. Now we find ourselves with the technology sector struggling and would like some guidance on how to proceed.

For the existing positions, which are long term holds, would you be inclined to spread out the additional investments over the medium term, say the next 6-12 months, or would you tend to be more aggressive, investing in the shorter term?

How would you rate (1-10) CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP for additional money today?

If we were to initiate long term positions in TOI, TIXT, NVEI and LSPD today, how would you rate them?

Once again, a big thanks to you all at 5i! We've just renewed our membership after a first year. We only wish we'd known of your service earlier!

Q: I own half positions in all three and am trying to decide what to do. Over the past 12 months ENGH has materially underperformed KXS and DSG, so I'm considering dropping it. At this time, do you feel the underperformance gives ENGH a greater potential to rebound, or is it the one to cut while increasing the other two (or adding different name in the sector)?

Thanks

Q: I added Descartes Systems on a pull back a few weeks back. I am surprised, but not concerned,, that it has been so volatile. After I bought a small position it quickly went up more than 10 per cent and this week I am back in the red. Is this type of movement normal for DSG? Has somehting changed at DSG or is just getting pushed up and down because it is part of a number of ETFs? I would like to add to the position but first I would like for 5i to let us members know if something has changed with DSG.

Q: I own OTEX and not DSG or KXS. I follow a blend of the income and balanced portfolio but bought OTEX instead of KXS as I don't like to buy companies that don't have a dividend. Thus why I don't currently own DSG or KXS. My question is should I sell my OTEX and replace it with DSG or KXS. I've owned OTEX for a few years so up about 25% ( excluding the div) even with the current pullback. I can see the change in the growth portfolio but don't see a strong reason to sell it to buy DSG or KXS in a balanced/income view unless you feel strongly otherwise.
