Q: Good morning;

I am doing some rebalancing of my portfolio. In light of my views on world events over the next 3-5 years I am looking for the top 3 "Consumer Defensive" stocks. I believe there to be risk in the US dollar over this period so would appreciate your recommendations on 3 Canadian and 3 American consumer defensive stocks and what makes them a consideration.

As always, thanks for your insights!

Q: Good morning I would appreciate your opinion on QSR latest results. I just finished reading through and although growth seems slow it was heading in the right direction. I am wondering your opinion on the different segments (brands) and their push into international markets and BK revamp. Do you think this could be the start of expansion and the bet that Doyle can turn this business around like Dominos? I have been a long time holder and recently been wondering if i should sell and move on or stay the course. Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am a little short on Industrials and am looking for a few ideas for me to do further research. I have a full position on WSP (trimmed it multiple times, having bought it at $36 in 2014). I also own CDZ, ZLB, ZWC, each having roughly 10% industrials.

Some initial ideas I have include CNR, TFII, and other stock and ETF ideas from you. I would prefer that you screen for having a dividend (>2%-?).

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: Hi,
Have 1.3% in VHI and 0.9% in WELL. If you had to consolidate into one position, which would you choose? WELL has been frustrating as it goes on these big runs and then pulls back and can't seem to get any traction, whereas VHI seems more of a steady long term compounder that is in a nice uptrend which has pulled back and looks like a good opportunity to add now. Would you continue to diversify and hold both or consolidate now and just hold VHI?

Also have small positions <1% in TVE and WCP and would like to consoidate. Is the difference in whether an investor wants more growth (TVE) or income (WCP)? Which one do you see having more growth going forward? Already own TOU. Thank you!

Q: BAM vs. RY—both are solid picks for income and long-term capital gains, and I currently hold both. I already have substantial exposure to bank stocks and the HCAL ETF. Since BAM falls under your strong-rated names, I’m considering increasing my position in BAM and trimming RY. Do you think that’s a smart move?

Q: AtkinsRealis (ATRL) is increasingly focused on serving the nuclear industry. Cameco (CCO) is no longer stritcly a unranium mining company and now seeks to provide the similar services and products as ATRL (think SMRs, for example). Which company do you see as having the better prospects for growth and share price appreciation? Would it be too redundant to buy both?

Q: Hello,

Do you have a free trial for the Q&A? As a subscriber, I have found the questions asked and your responses to be useful.

I have an uncle, who dabbles, that could benefit from this and if he could spend a few days looking around, he'd likely see the utility in it.

Then I don't have to make up a sales pitch for it.

FWIW - Thank you

Q: How can one explain the huge discrepency between those 2 stocks while it's the same company? One can argue that there is a tax efficiency by investing in BEPC but certainly not by this much. Is there a possibility that the difference might shring over time ? What am I missing?

Q: Hi, it seems that for several months, many analysts have considered Dollarama to be overvalued. However, the price is about 5% lower than when it hit its high in June. I already have a half position, and wonder what you would consider a good entry point? Thank you for your service!

Q: I had a representative from Sun Life approach me with the option of rolling my LIRA/RRIF money into an annuity, providing guaranteed, stable income for life. Would you suggest taking a portion of RRIF funds and putting it into an annuity, or instead relying on a combination of ETFs that provide dividend income and capital appreciation?
