Investment Q&A

Q: Based on growth potential only, would you prefer HPS.A or PRL?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Your thoughts on earnings please. Would you buy this dip if you had a starter position already. Thank you.

Q: My top holdings right now are (these are all primarily in an open account, but small portion in registered)
MSFT @ 9.18% of the equity portfolio (up 487%)
AAPL @ 7.47% of the equity portfolio (up 496%)
BCE @ 4.89% of the equity portfolio (down 16.52%)
Thinking of selling some of MSFT to rebalance and possibly AAPL to rebalance and selling some BCE for tax loss to offset some of the gains.
In the present market does this seem like good options? What could be purchased instead? I do rely on the BCE dividend for some income and might want to replace this. Will also be looking to transfer cash and/or stocks to TFSA's in the new year.
Are there better options in my situation? (the rest of the equity portfolio is fairly balanced except an over amount in financials)
Thanks,
Steve

Q: Good Day,

POWL went basically up 100$ and down almost as much within a week or 2, what happened? Any significant news?

My personal experience with these types of moves has been mixed, sometimes I let them run, and sometimes "Something doesn't seem right/too good to be true". The exits have been on 'psychology' type stocks and have been pretty successful (TSLA, first buy on SMCI, etc). I know it comes down to position sizing, but are some general guidelines or metrics to look at that can help decide whether it's worth trimming your position or not?

Secondly, PLTR. I have read a lot of the comments on it, and see the value in where they have positioned themselves, but am also concerned about the valuation, and how only a small slowdown could significantly tank the share price.

With the addition to the SP500 being one of a list of its catalysts, are there other companies with solid fundamentals, market share, and or momentum that are on the shortlist/likely to be added to a major index in the coming year or 2? Could you provide 2 or 3 condidates for the TSX60, SP500, NASDAQ100 and any other significant ones that may be of interest.

Thanks!

James

Q: I’m wondering which type of account would be best for these ETFs. I assume they would not all be best in the same account. The choices of accounts would be personal taxable, RRSP, TFSA, and corporate.

Thanks.

Q: Hi guys,

I'm thinking about selling a full position in Gsy (up over 200%, thanks) and topping up Prl, Ifc and Eqb into full positions. Thoughts?
Take care

Q: When Peter was on Market Call this morning he got a question about Russel Metals. One part of the discussion was on the likelihood of Trump putting tariffs on steel. As that is one of Trump's pet peeves I'm guessing that a steel tariff is going to be near the top of his list ...... What would be 5i's favorite steel companies to play this theme ?

Q: Can you please rank in order of preference your top 5 buys from your tax loss publication ?

Q: I own an equal weight of UBER in my portfolio but none of TSLA. Could you please describe the correlation between UBER and TSLA. It seems that when TSLA rises UBER falls. Is this simply sentiment, anticipation of policy changes from the future US government, or is it related to actual fundamentals? Thanks as always for your excellent service.

Q: You suggested VBAL as a good all in one ETF. Thank you for that.

You noted that “It covers the US, Canada and global equities, and also has 40% bond exposure”, which is great, except that I don’t want any bond exposures in the ETF. Do you have any alternatives without any fixed income included?

Thanks again.

Q: In response to David Michael's inquiry about how much one needs to save for retirement. I found Michael H. Mc Clung's book Living Off Your Money essential reading. I refer to it regularly. He analyzes extensive historical data on different portfolios, and his purpose in writing the book was to show how it is possible to produce more income with less risk.
Hope it helps
Mike
