Q: Question about what to do when buying or selling shares in less than 'board lots'.
I nearly always try and buy/sell shares in multiples of 100, but this doesn't always work if one wants to exit a position entirely, or if one wants to allocate a specific portfolio percentage to a stock and the numbers don't add up.
If it has to be less than 'board lots', should we aim for further multiples of 10 or doesn't it matter?
I was wondering that if one wanted to sell an obscure number of shares as quickly as possibly, would they take longer to sell if they were in random numbers?

Just as everybody else says, I really appreciate your advice. I finally feel that I am gaining control of my own destiny (belatedly, and not without your assistance.) Thank you.

Q: True North Commercial RE Investment Trust -- TNT.UN -- seems to have fallen off the map. RBC Direct Investing no longer covers it, it's not trading today, and there's no news on its website. Can you dig anything up? Thank you.

Q: Thanks for the July 30 answer to Darcy on AYA. One additional question for Clarity on your answer. You indicated that a 20 to 30% positions becomes a portfolio bet on one company. I understand this concept, but doesn't a double down strategy by definition mean you will have positions greater than 30%, or do you always limit portfolio positions to a certain maximum even in you double down approach? Great Service, you have greatly changed my investing success.

Darcy

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,

I'm looking for an industrial stock to add to my portfolio. I currently own CCL.B and SJ, but I'd like to add a third stock in this sector? Do you have recommendations?

I also wanted your opinion on Chartwell Retirement REIT. I currently own 3 REITS (Riocan, H&R and Chartwell), but I was thinking of selling Chartwell and buying Boardwalk for a bit more growth.

Thanks very much,
Jason

Q: After this most recent pop, and heeding Peter/5i's repeated advice (thank you !) of keeping reasonable percentages on individual stocks, for the 2nd time, I sold some AYA in our diversified (thank you,again, for emphasizing this!) - growth oriented portfolios. I expect shortly to be doing the same with DHX. I don't know if you can come up with another one or two 'out of the park' hits, but would appreciate any recommendations that you feel might have similar potential for re-investing these profits.
I will happily be making a 2nd contribution to your charity ride and wish you safe travelling.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I am looking to add a little punch to the Energy sector of an otherwise diversified portfolio. Energy currently makes up almost 20%, so I am not looking to add, but to hopefully refine. I am considering a swap of Surge (SGY) for Vermillion (VET). I like them both, but am leaning towards the income feature of Surge as well as the continuation of good results as was indicated in the last Q report. Could I have your thoughts to this?

Q: Hi Peter & company. Great job! We have recently sold all of our U.S. stocks because we were scared off due to the recent tax laws changes with respect to people with dual citizenship (US and other country). We don't have dual citizenship but this new tax is quite significant for those affected and the U.S. government seems to need to increase tax revenue. Do you think we were over cautious?
