Q: Reviewing my portfolio at this time of year,i have decided to take a more defensive approach for 2018.I have recently purchased a couple of gold stocks(aem & lk).I am unsure if gold still has the downside protection for a portfolio that it used to.
Also with the expected interest rate increases will dividend paying large caps have the desired benefit of portfolio protection?
Do you have any suggestions on some debt free dividend paying companies that will do well in a flat or slightly down market.I don't care if they are small,medium or large cap companies!
I have held Corby for a long time as part of my income portfolio. Generally this stock has been less volatile than the market in general. However, it seems to be 'soft' lately. Can you comment on the stock. Happy to just keep it for the nice steady dividend.
Thanks
Q: Appreciate your thoughts on Corby, which I've owned for several years with a small price appreciation. Dividend is nice but stock won't go up. I already own Andrew Peller, would you recommend selling Corby and do you have any advice on replacement consumer discretionary.
Thank you.
Q: Please comment on Corby's most recent quarter. Does the Trump anti-trade stance affect Corby's any more than other stocks?
Also, they have paid special dividends in the past, do you foresee the likelihood of a special dividend in 2017?
Thanks for your great service.
Q: Okay I did put the symbols for the companies in the proper place--just didn't use capitals--thought you might b able to answer. Anyway, for the 4th time what do you think of these companies? Thank you
Q: Please comment on CSW.a. What do think of it as a buy for income and growth? What are its financials like? What is the history of increasing dividend? On a related note is the proposed Constellation Brands wine IPO planned for TSX or US market?
