Q: Good day I have a large gain in the above stocks in an outside account. I am thinking of taking half off the table and putting it into a canadian dividend etf VDY. I understand that i would have to pay some tax but i would net a higher dividend from VDY than the other three and i live from my dividends. Or should i just leave them to grow as each is about a 4% position in my total portfolio. Could you please give me your thoughts on this....Gene

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor. I just sold CGX and need to replace it with something else in the Consumer sector. I currently own AW, NWC, PBH and love dividends.

Can you please give me 3 replacement options in the Consumer Cyclical space as well as 3 options in the Consumer Staples space? If it is possible to filter a dividend over 3%, that would be ideal...if not 3%, then try for > 2%.

Thanks...Steve

Q: I'm thinking of starting with a half position in one of these two companies. I don't currently have any companies in this area. I'm interested in safe dividends first and growth second and working on diversifying my portfolio. Which of the two would you buy at these prices and why please?

Thanks
Peter

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.
