Q: I would appreciate your take on Saputo's results.Revenues are up for yoy and qtr vs 3rd and last year but earnings appear weak. Is this a one-off due to the recent acquisition or something more concerning. Quite frankly I have difficulty judging the impact of IFRS accounting on the income statement. I look forward to your insight.
Thanks
Ian

Q: I have read the most recent comments that you have answered for members on Russel Metals, My question to you is; at what price would you start to recommend this stock if someone is looking for a 10-15% return from purchase price? And, Has Russel Metals ever cut its dividend, for some reason, I think they have.?

Thanks Barry

Q: When you introduced the Portfolio Analytics I immediately subscribed.The information provided has been very useful. The portfolio you suggested, based on the information I supplied, is made up solely of ETF's. I have very few ETF's in my portfolio and would prefer investing in individual stocks. That being said there are sectors where an ETF would be the better option such as in Healthcare.
You have listed 11 categories. What would be your top 5 stocks to own in each category? If in some of the categories an ETF would be more suitable could you please offer 2 suggestions.
Thank you so much for your great service.

Q: The market seems to be discounting the likelihood that ACs $13 offer will be accepted or allowed. Some other Analysts have stated they think $13 is on the low end and that higher offers from other parties might still materialize. Would you be a buyer under $12 based on the assumption $13 will probably be the lowest offer accepted? Other thoughts on how to play this?

Q: I have these excellent performing stocks in my portfolio and wish to add to one of them. Percentages are as follows:
BAM.A - 3.8%
BYD.UN - 4.96%
WSP - 4.35%
Which one would you add to for growth and reliability over say 2- 5yrs, if you ignore the lower BAM % and then if you consider it has been brought up to the level of the other two?

Q: I hold 5 Growth Portfolio 5iR position as noted above.....that I've held for some time.
I've decided to fold them into my Income and Balance Portfolios rather than track the group separately. The reason is to better manage the position weightings. Although these 5 are more growth-er positions, I'm really more a 70/30 balance/income investor...and closely follow the 5iR positions and weightings.
Now for my question - what weightings would you give each of ECN and GSY in an income portfolio, and also for each of DOL, OTEX, PEO and SHOP in a balanced portfolio?
.......again, thanks for your guidance......Tom
