Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for the great work and your valued perspective through this volatility. How would you rank stocks within the Forestry sector today for an investor with a 3-5+ year hold?

The sector is looking interesting to me based on the present weakness in U.S. housing. WEF is up significantly today and your perspective on long-term opportunities in the sector is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I have a long time to wait on investments and don’t have much interest in trading, as I prefer value investing.
1)I’m still up 30% on Nvidia, with a long term in mind. Do you think it’s better to sell out now and buy back later, or do you see enough growth and value coming to make it better to just sit on and wait?

2)I’m trying to build the core of my portfolio around long term holdings in strong dividend payers (with a bias towards aristocrats) and use all drips available, and even proxy drips through my broker when I need to. Could you give me your top 1-3 dividend payers for each Sector (with a bias towards dividend growth and safety/ aristocrats).
Also, I’ve read lots of articles that state that dividend investing on average out performs the market by a few% per year, just without most of the wild swings. Do you agree?
Hopefully my rambling makes sense...
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

It definitely has been a wild ride on the markets recently. Thanks for your messages about taking a measured approach during times like this. The portfolio approach definitely works, as the valuations are not swinging as much as if I had only a few stocks.

That said, I have set aside cash for times like this and I am trying to figure out what to buy. I follow the balance portfolio model and have some stocks from the growth portfolio added to the mix. Would it be a good time to add to one or all of my positions to PBH or KXS or BNS?

Thanks.

Q: I had a half position in Loblaws before the Weston spinout, so now I have a tiny position in Wn. I'd welcome your thoughts as to how best to proceed. Do I dump Wn and build L to a full position or fill out Wn to a second half position?

(Supplemental info: If you looked at my full portfolio, you would likely say I am rather long on banks and utilities and short on consumer stocks, though I do have some ATD.b and ADW.a. However, I am about to retire, so I am keen on fairly reliable dividends.)
