Q: In my daughter's RESP I hold TD(39%)up 13%, PBH (39%)up 110%, GUD(17%) down 20% and 5% cash.
I still have 9 years to go before the first withdrawal.
I was thinking of diversifying TD and/or PBH. Which dividend ETF (with growth potential) would you recommend?

Q: Goodmorning 5i,
I have noted your positive views on Premium Brands and have been considering purchasing it. I don't want to have too many stocks and so I have thought of selling Conagra in order to purchase it. This is also because companies like Conagra seem to be having trouble negotiating the change in habits and diets of people today. Although analysts seem to think it has a little brighter future at the moment. I generally have a well diversified and relatively conservative portfolio. My concern is that pbh seems to be quite narrowly focused in comparison to a company like CAG. Do you think this would be a reasonable switch?
thanks for the great service, as always

Q: What is your view at this time of Canadian bond proxy stocks versus Cdn dividend growth stocks, and their valuations relative to interest rates?

If you are of the view that dividend growers are more appropriate at this time, can you provide three growers that you recommend, and 3 bond proxy stocks that you would suggest to stay away from, to better understand the types of stocks that fall into this category. Thanks.

Q: Whenever analysts talk about PBH (premium brands) or CSU (constellation) they inevitably talk about them being over-valued and due to fall or tread water for a while. You've allowed both to rise to about the 6.5% level in the portfolio (as per the last record on your site) without trimming. Does that mean you disagree with the analysts, or simply don't care about a short term fallback of 10%-20% since you are confident they will eventually regain that and move past it?

Q: Hi guys,

Which stocks do you think have the potential to become 5, 10, or even 20 baggers over time? Would PBH, SIS, and PBL be on the list (or has their time past)? Also, can you rank the three in terms of which have the most growth going forward?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello I have a couple of different portfolios each with a different objective so assume balance and diversification over all. But if a person wanted to construct a concentrated portfolio of 5-7 stocks total to cover different sectors mid risk with a mix of growth and dividend payers what would be your top picks today? Banking, telco, energy, consumer discretionary, utilities. As always thanks for the great service.
