Q: I've taken a position in Celestica partly based on your reviews. In one of the recent questions about CLS you mentioned a desirable entry point, any guidance on a stop price?
Based on this chart i will set my stop limit just below the 200 SMA at $57.50

Seem reasonable for downside protection?
With the BOC lowering rates i think that is positive for small caps like CLS however i'm still nervous about a broader market decline.

Q: Hi team,
In march, I asked if ATD was priced for perfection. ATD then reached a high around $85.
I wonder now about my DOL shares. I wanted to sell in the last months, but did not, because the stock keeps going up. With a PE of 37, and a high around $137, I fear that any problem with China would affect their supply. Do you know if DOL go thru third party’s warehouses or have their own China contacts? Do you have any data on the percentage of their business from Chinese items- should be quite high?
Covid did not stop them, so should we be worried?
Thanks

Q: Do you think Nutrien's management has lost its way? It seems to be groping around for a strategy in South America, and is having a lot of top management turnover. Molson got badly burned in Brazil years ago because they didn't understand the Brazilian market; is the same thing happening to NTR?

Q: This is a follow up of the questions I asked about the Conservative ETFMU Portfolio.
Could you also provide me with the total average yield and the YTD Total Return for the Balanced and Growth Portfolios

Suggestions to improve current ETFMU Portfolio data presentation :
It would be very helpful if each of your ETF portfolio reports would always show the Total Average Yield for each of the 3 ETFMU portfolios. Also, it would be useful to have each Portfolios YTD Total Return % reported, not just the Vanguard Benchmark.
Including some data on actual historical performance results for each portfolio as well as an indication of turnover of holdings would also be useful.

Q: So KXS dropped $22, over 14%, and 5i has answered a few questions with general replies. Can you please use your expertise and provide an assessment of what you think the stock will do going forward? In your view, was the CEO pushed out? Was the sales person pushed out? What change in direction do you forsee? It's in the growth portfolio. Does it warrant still being there? It's been an under-achiever for some time and 5i says it needs to deploy some of its cash and expand. How long do you wait for this to happen?

Q: Hello,

I am considering investing in PBH as it checks off the right boxes and it is one of your favorites.
However, looking at other similar co's MTY & MFI they seem to offer similar dividends and growth, tgey are both also trading close to the same lower range as PBH.
Could you provide insight on why these are lagging the food retailers who are trading at highs.
Thank you

Q: Looking to setup a very concentrated TFSA to drive long term capital gains. Currently holding the above names. TSU has not been nearly as exciting as the other names. Is TSU going to provide outsized capital gains? My thinking is to sell TSU and allocate the funds to the other names equally. If there are others names you would recommend pls do share.
