Q: I'm a conservative investor and have been looking at the valuations on these three companies for awhile. All have good grades and have had decent pullbacks. What order would you rate purchasing these companies, or any other ones, based on least risk and greatest capital appreciation over the next two years. Thank you.

Q: I hold these companies at about a 20% weighting in my growth portfolio but only 5% overall weighting. Should I have equal weights of all three, or would you favor a different balance for 2017? Is there be a catalyst I should be watching for where I would lighten up on one or another (eg:interest rate hikes etc)? Your best strategy for next year or so please???

Q: Merry Christmas to the 5i Team! My question is about consumer discretionary stocks. It's one of the areas in my portfolio that i lack exposure in (0% to be honest). I've been looking at ATD-B for a while and feel comfortable adding at the current price level. To get some more high quality names I've looked to the US and come across the usual suspects that seem fairly highly priced/valued. I've been looking at ULTA and COST. Might not be your area of expertise but your thoughts on these 2 companies or any other specific names you think are worth owning in the Cons Disc space?
