Q: Good afternoon,

I'd like to add a position (or 2) in each of the following sectors: REIT (TCN or GRT.UN or CAR.UN or a better idea), energy (CNQ or SU or a better idea) and industrial (already own WSP, TFII, XYL, TT and could add to one of these or consider a better idea). I could also use a utility suggestion (either add to FTS or AQN or add BEP.UN). And, I'm always looking for an opportunity to add BAM.A to my portfolio. In what order would you add or take new positions given the current environment being favourable to a given sector and/or a good entry point for a particular stock.

Your service is always greatly appreciated, thank you,

Q: Hi,

I have a position in Lulu (slightly underwater) and ATZ (slight gain), but wondering if - all else equal - I should sell some Lulu and make ATZ a bigger allocation.

Can you compare them in terms of valuation, growth prospects, and any other general comments?

Also, how do you think the sector and Lulu/ATZ will do in a period of economic weakness and high inflation? My thoughts are that it is discretionary spending so that's not ideal, but also they should be able to pass on some inflation to the end user.

Some anecdotal thoughts - my good friend is a model and just started working for ATZ's new men's line. I asked him what he thought of the men's clothing he said it was really good, stylish, and thinks it will sell well. Take that with a grain of salt, but he's extremely fashionable and if he likes it that's definitely a good sign.

Thanks!

Q: If I am not mistaken, I thought I saw a recent answer where you said we were late in the oil and gas cycle. In the past, I thought you answered questions as being mid-cycle. If this was a baseball game, what inning do you think are we in now?
Thanks

Q: Algoma recently undertook a Substantial Issuer Bid where they will be retiring 28% of their shares outstanding. What your thoughts on how this impacts the outlook for the shares and warrants going forward ? I don't recall seeing a company reduce their share count by so much at once before.

Thanks

Q: I will have to raise cash by December 30th for a mandatory RIF withdrawal. I will sell from this group of stocks. I assume it is better to retain the stocks with the highest growth potential. So in what order would you sell?

Thanks for all you folks do. You keep me a confident DIY investor... especially during troubled times.

Q: Would appreciate your guidance on building a healthcare portfolio with these names and any other suggestions divided into 2 categories [1] core [to constitute the bulk of the portfolio] and [2] growth, for a 3+ year hold. If you could add a few thoughts on each as to why you like or not, that would be most helpful.
