Q: Out of these 4, what two would you sell today and why (I know they are very different)? If you could include a comment on valuation please do.

Also, how does that answer change if we were to enter a recession?

Q: I would like to do some tax loss selling and was wondering if you might be able to rank ILLM, UPST, OVV, TOY, SQ, GH, FLGT, and COW in order from those with the least potential to recover over the next year, to the most potential. If I were to sell them all, are there any you would consider buying back after 30 days? Thanks.

Q: Your are in a contest with "Joe" to pick the best 10 stock portfolio over the next 5 years. Best total return wins. Must have 2 Canadian stocks from each of these categories : technology, energy, consumer, industrial, and small cap (max $1 billion Cdn market cap to qualify as small cap). Since you are pros, Joe got to go first. He picked SHOP and CSU in tech, SU and TOU in energy, ATD.B and QSR in consumer, BN and WSP in industrial and WELL and CTS in small cap (he's a 5i reader, so he knew to pick several of your best ideas). What 10 stocks are you going to select to try to beat him?

Q: My wife took early retirement with DB plan. Her RRSP and TFSA are well diversified. She has enough money to invest in about 10 companies. This money is not needed in foreseeable future. However, a small dividend is appreciated along with capital appreciation. It will be invested in a regular account. Can you please suggest top 12 companies.

Thanks inadvance
