Q: I am beginning to transition my portfolio from a growth portfolio to a more defensive posture. My portfolio analysis indicates I am approximately 6% underweight in both Consumer Defensives and Consumer Cyclicals. I have some U.S, cash to deploy, what would be your top recommendations for these two areas? Thank you in advance!

Q: According to my Portfolio Analytics, I should raise my investment in the areas of Consumer cyclical and utilities.

Can you recommend your top 3 picks in both Cdn and US stocks for these sectors?

Thank as always.

Q: 1. What percentage do you advise allocating to discretionary sector.
2. Included are non-US names because of pricing power/ controlled supply. If I missed any from your favs, please add to the list.
3. Recently you answered my question on industrial stocks based on
a) core [large, defensive names]
b) high growth regardless of size
c) recent strength and positive momentum.
Applying that to my list of discretionary stocks, please rank in each category (1-3, with 1 strongest)
Thanks
Sam
