Or should I move into names which would provide upside and added risk

Q: I may be incorrectly expecting downward pressure on oil prices given the likelihood of reduced demand from recessionary conditions. As a result I plan on exiting my position in Suncor and moving the funds elsewhere in hopes of capital appreciation. I follow the Balanced Portfolio with a few holdings of some other names you like. Wondering if you could provide a couple of Canadian companies you feel are undervalued right now regardless of sector. Don’t need the cash again for 10 years.

Q: Would you expect Trisura to initiate a dividend at some point? The three closest peers that you note in your January research report all pay a small dividend. Also, do you have an opinion on how long it will be before there is a clear sign that their expansion into the U.S. is succeeding? It seems to me the landscape is littered with companies who failed to crack the competitive U.S. market.

Thanks,

Q: Hi There,
I am considering taking up a position in either DIR.UN or TSU.
After TSU's recent run up, which of the two would be your preference for a 3-5 year hold at current levels?
Additionally, in your opinion, what is the likelihood the the federal government will change the tax rules around REITS in the short term?
Thank you.

Q: High growth stocks. A recent NP piece by Peter H. advised investors consider these vs. conservative picks coming out of a bear market. "Stocks that used to be 50X sales are now 3X sales and still growing at 50%+...a Bloomberg screen shows 982 companies with 50% sales growth in the next year."

Could you provide 10 Cdn. stocks in this category or better yet provide a link to the Bloomberg screen. Thanks.
