Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am trying to understand how you do things and can only re-visit this topic when my time permits.

I understand there are 11 sectors:
1. Technology
2. Basic Materials
3. Industrials
4. Financials
5. Consumer Cyclicals
6. Consumer Non-cyclicals
7. Utilities
8. Telecommunications
9. Healthcare
10. Energy
11. Real Estate

Would you agree with above?

Keeping this in mind, you have a representative of each sector in the Balanced Portfolio?

Do you feel that a person should have all sectors represented in their portfolio at all times?

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Q: I would just like to echo Rod L's response to "complaint re KWH.UN etc". I have been a very happy member since May of 2013. Not everything has gone well, but by roughly following a 5i model (I think diversification, self risk assessment, and time) I have much more than exceeded my investment expectations. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better investment service anywhere - and the price is a bargain!!

Q: I feel I have to respond to "dave's " complaint re KWH.UN etc. I have been a member since 2012 plus spent my life in the investment business . I'm now 75 . I challenge Dave to provide me with a comparable service to 5i's for the depth of their research plus the vault of data available - for a very low cost. There is not a service anywhere like it where you can ask - and receive such expert response quickly. My portfolios have benefitted substantially since joining and any little response problems are minuscule. Print if you wish.

Q: Just a follow up to my question about my dividend sustainability question for BDI. You say the dividend was cut; do you mean it was cut entirely (to zero)? My ticker and the Globe show an 8% dividend.

So, if:

1) there is no dividend, what source should I be using when looking at stocks to make sure I have the whole picture.

2) if the dividend is still 7.9%, is that sustainable?

Thanks again,

Rick
