Q: Similar to another question I submitted, I would like to ask about a potential switch. I presently own Linamar which has been doing well; Magna has continued to slide but generally has a favourable long term outlook. If it were you, would you sell LNR after its good momentum and acquire MG while it is beaten up, and if so, why or why not? Total return is the objective, nor are taxes a concern. Thank you for your excellent service.

1. high quality

3. that pay dividends that are sustainable through difficult times.
Based on this strategy what Canadian companies would you invest in now that fit the criteria? I would appreciate 8 of your top picks.
