Q: Investors are loving Apple and neglecting Google these days. My position in Apple has doubled. It is still not overweight in the portfolio. Thinking of selling half of the Apple position to diversify into Google. Google has stalled lately and there is an expectation of a capital return program that may get the stock moving. Or just leave the Apple position alone?

Q: Hello 5i
most of our portfolio is comprised of stodgy, stocks such as consumer staples. They are good but i have too many of them. and so i was thinking of buying something that is, I don't know how you would call it, say modern (?).

I have been looking at Google, Apple and Symantec. And was wondering if you thought one might be preferable to another these days.? Apple seems to be very popular and so i thought i might shy away from it. Although from what i gather, even with all of the recent growth, it is still reasonably priced. Google is everywhere! And Symantec may prosper from the rise in cyber crime and hacks.
thanks for any help

Q: In their Fiscal 2014 report, the management "expected meaningful growth in fiscal 2015" and held cash per share $1.65. Given the large portion of business that comes from Western Canada what would you expect in terms of growth for 2015? Also in your October report you noted insider selling. Does this selling affect your otherwise positive opinion of management? Has that selling subsided? Would you be comfortable buying a small position here?
Sorry for the multiple questions.
Many thanks
Mike

Q: Hi Peter and Team, We have two positions of SYZ: one position in a RRIF and another position in a RRSP. We have made money in both, but SYZ has been lagging lately. How would you feel about replacing one of these positions with ABT which seems to be doing better presently?
Would it matter which position was swapped? Thanks in advance for the timely advice.

Q: I own CMI at much higher levels but to date I am fine continuing to hold with the comfort of their cash position until you report on the company again. It has been almost a year since your last report on this company. Can I assume a report will be out soon. Thank you for your reply.
As a side note I was hoping you would comment on TARO.US earnings in my last question as I thought they looked good but the stock continues to decline since they came out on the 10th.
