Q: In Maple Leaf's news release, they mention the Chinese import ban of Canadian pork affecting their bottom line. It sound's like they export pork to China. I hold PBH and would like to similarily understand the mechanics of how China's pork issue may affect PBH. Does PBH export pork products to China that would be subject to a ban? On the other hand, is it possible that lower North American pork prices could be positive to PBH as an input cost? Thanks.

Q: 2 market darlings getting hit. 1)PBH reached a high of some $122.59 in 4/18 then started a decline reaching a low of about $67 in 11/18,then traded in a range until CPP invested($200m) in 2019.As a result price went to some $98.38 on Sep 3 before starting decline with big declines the last 2 days($87.74 c on 10/25).Your opinion please.Is tis an opportunity to start a position? 2)TOY dropped from a high of some $59.40 in 7/18 due to so many headwinds(eg ToyRUs,poor results of Hasbro,tariffs on China,expected flat eps in 2019 with growth in 2020 etc) to close at $35.04($34.82 being 2019 low achieved on 10/25).What are the chances of a recovery soon so as to start a position. Thanks for u usual great views & services

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I hold BNS, BEP.UN, FTS, KXS, PBH and TRP in my child's RESP account and it has been performing quite well. With another 8 years to go, should I just add to the existing positions or add something else?

Thanks.

Q: Hello,

The family RESP is composed of 15% VGG and 15% XQQ with the balance spread roughly evenly over the remaining stocks listed above. I would appreciate your suggestion for an additional position. The oldest child is 8 years away from post secondary.

Thank-you.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
The listed stocks are held in our grandsons RESP. (Age 6) .We have some cash that we would like to deploy. We originally thought People Corp would be a good addition but you warned it is a thin trader and could be volatile. In your opinion what would be your top 3 ideas for a new position.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We have some cash in our grandsons RESP. He is 6 yrs old. Having read your update today, we were wondering if People Corp would be a good fit as a new holding?
Thank you as always for your opinion

Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim

Greg.
