Q: Hi 5i,

I currently own DOL, ATD and PBH for Consumer Staples. I'm getting a little bored of the progress that DOL has made over the last three years and I'm looking for a little more growth.

Looking at EMP, L or MRU as a replacement. Based on today's news from I'm leaning towards EMP. Please let me know what your thoughts on this switch, or if you'd recommend another stock not mentioned.

I have a long horizon, 7+ years, and looking for some more growth.

Thx

Q: Good afternoon - I took positions in the above several months ago, thanks to your suggestion, and all have fared quite well. However, both MG and LUN are at what appears to be their highest levels in several years while NTR enjoyed a higher valuation years back. All three have immodest P/E ratios at this time. Do you foresee additional loft to their prices or is it perhaps already time to do a bit of harvesting? Thank you.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. There is no question I will sell Shaw...anytime someone offers me a 70% premium, I'll take the money and run. I'm just wondering about potential risks. It looks like Rogers-Shaw have tried to structure the deal to hopefully assist the regulator to approve it. Closing is quite a way away...mid next year? Plus there is always the risk of no deal.

1. What would you do? Trim some at various levels, hopefully on the way up to $40? Wait to be taken out....for cash?

2. In other "buy out" situations like this, the stock has approached the "offer" price the day of the announcement. Could you please elaborate on an earlier question as to why the B shares are slow to rise to the offer price of $40.50? At time of typing, they are at $33.

Thanks for your help...much appreciated...Steve

Q: What do the short positions look like on these stocks? Do you see any stocks with possible "unfair" levels of shorting?

Thanks as always.

My wife and I own the above stocks in our TFSA. Could you give me your best 3-5 suggestions for addition(s), avoiding high risk companies? Thanks for the great service.

Q: Similar question to the one I asked yesterday. This is regarding some small/medium sized consumer and consumer-related type Canadian stocks. How would you feel about holding each of these stocks in your portfolio, on a 1-10 scale, with a 10 being you definitely want the stock in your portfolio, a 1 being a stock you want no part of, and a 5 being a stock you are basically indifferent about. As part of broadly diversified portfolio, looking for total return over the next 5+ years, comfortable with risk. ACQ, AW.UN, DOO, ECN, GOOS, HTL, LNF, MTY, SIS, SVI, ZZZ.

Q: I am more than happy with the long term performance of this company . However the last two quarterly reports issued by the company have been somewhat pessimistic regarding growth prospects as the economy recovers from the covid pandemic . Cash flow is good , and the company will be buying back shares . I wonder if the are now an acquisition target for a larger competitor . What are your thoughts -- are they a buy , sell or hold?
