Q: Hello 5i,

Can you please explain to me the difference between the following selling techniques:

Stop market, stop limit, trailing stop market and trailing stop limit. I am a new investor and would appreciate some concrete examples. Also feel free to supplement your explanations with links to any good videos. I find this tricky...I hate being stuck holding a stock for years before it bounces back.

Q: I've been watching ATZ with interest, and fear. Do you have any information on the present shipping chain tangles that are affecting so many shipments from Asia? If ATZ suddenly finds itself waiting for stock to arrive, quaterly figures could quickly deteriorate and stock prices could tumble. Or am I just seeing imaginary problems? Does ATZ have a Plan B if shipments of stock are delayed at point of shipment? To open a partial position now or wait for shipment problems to be resoved ... that is the question? Thanks for your continued help, Elmer.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for your great service over the last two years. I’m very happy with how I’m doing based on your insights.

My portfolio analytics suggest I am underweight in consumer cyclicals and consumer defensive.

Please recommend your top 3 US buys in each area.

Also, please suggest your top 3 US buys right now regardless of sector.

Q: Hi 5i,
Regarding Robert’s inquiry on journaling ENB or MG and the BMO Investorline answer, I journal stocks all the time when I want to increase my U.S. exposure. This is an option in lieu of Norbert’s gambit. With TD, the stocks are moved to the U.S. side. I sell them and have more U.S. currency for new purchases. There is no point in holding the stocks on the CDN side in U.S. dollars as when one sells them, you are hit with FX conversion charges, and end up with CDN cash not U.S. cash. Perhaps there was just some confusion by the Investorline service rep.
