Q: I notice that David Rosenberg will be on Bnn this Friday with Andrew McCreath.
On May 19 He published an article in The Globe & Mail stating that Trumponomics will cause the next recession within the next 12 months.
If he is correct, am I right in assuming that interest rates will then to begin to decline , eventually leading to better prices down the road for the bond proxies?
Could you recomend from your portfolios the best recession proof companies with a history of regularly increasing their dividends?

Q: I sold these stocks mainly due to the fact that they are down 20% from my cost base and needed some Losses to offset some Gains. My decision now is to either repurchase these 30+ days forward or buy some other stocks to replace these. I have a long time frame and a balanced portfolio. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Q: You, at 5i, represent yourselves as fundamental analysts but according to your answer to Darcy on April 5th, you show yourselves to be at least aware of technical analysis as well, with your answer of the death cross re ATD.B. You might be interested to know that, on the weekly charts, the 20 week moving average just crossed below the 50, often considered to be a selling point for many long-term investors. As well, the weekly RSI broke below the 50 line as did the Full Stochastics and both lines are still pointing downward. There is a support band between about $50 to $55 with the current price at $55.58. The price could easily drop to $50 or less.
Technical analysis is more an indication of investors' attitude than is fundamental analysis and I assume your are still okay with ATD.B's fundamentals or you would have sold it out of your portfolios; is that a fair assessment?
(I gave up timing the market a long time ago as I could never maker any money at it. But I am still fascinated by technical analysis and watch it, I guess, as a hobby).

Q: To re-balance my portfolio, I could use more consumer stocks. Currently I have Starbucks and Hanes Brands.
If Hanes Brands is considered Consumer Cyclical, I would would be looking for a Consumer Non-Cyclical. Would ATD.B a good choice with the recent pullback or would would you recommend something else. The stock would be purchased in my TFSA account.
For a Consumer Cyclical BRP is of interest but with yesterday's increase, should I wait for the next pullback or can you offer another alternative.
Thank you
