Q: Hi Peter and Team,
For this year's RRIF payment, I need to sell approximately 14K of stocks as I've been almost fully invested over the last year, in large measure due to 5i's superb recommendations. The stocks listed above are in sectors where I am overweight. I have several questions, so please deduct credits as you see fit:
(1) If I sold CGX outright, I'd obtain roughly 14K and would reduce my total number of holdings and lower my overweight consumer discretionary stocks. Even though CGX has fallen from its lofty heights, I'm still up, especially when factoring in the accumulated dividends. Also, there would be only one sell transaction. Are you OK with this plan?
(2) Are there any others in the list that could/should be an outright sell?
(3) Or, would a better plan be to reduce holdings in each stock by taking profits?
Of course, this would mean more sell transaction fees.

As always, I defer to your recommendations, and have been rewarded for doing so. Thanks in advance.

Q: The laggards in my portfolio are currently NFI, CCL, GTE (only oil & gas exposure) and CBL. Would you suggest dumping any of these names/replacing them with other names or would you suggest holding them for now? Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi guys, I'm looking at your response to 'who's likely to suffer when NAFTA gets torn up' (which seems increasingly likely)... I have held these for a long time and been VERY happy with all of them, but is it time to trim them down? Do you think the NAFTA threat is sufficiently priced in? I'd love to get your thoughts on each one. Thanks! PS -- you can ding me for 5 questions :-)

Q: Hi

Based on Ryan's reply to the questions asked on the 3 companies mentioned above today on BNN.
Would it be wise to sell them now or reduce my position?
If yes, what would you suggest to replace them with?
Looking for growth first and a dividend is always nice.
Thank you
Mike

Q: Good morning team, I know you like CCL/B, but would you pls. comment on TD's theory of removing their position from their model portfolio...

Materials
We are removing our position in CCL Industries Inc. (CCL.B-T, portfolio
weight 2.5%), given what we view to be a poor sector backdrop and a high quantitative risk outlook.
Given CCL's consumer product customer base, we view the removal of CCL as part of our strategic rotation to reduce exposure to consumer stocks. We view the weak pricing environment, as seen through the low consumer price indices and the very poor performance of the U.S. consumer staples sector,
as a potential negative trend for CCL. Our concern is that the weak pricing and potentially higher costs in consumer stocks could be passed down onto packaging and related companies. Margin pressures in consumer-products related sectors, such as auto and auto parts, is a common theme late in the cycle.
Quantitatively, we are seeing a modest deceleration in CCL's trailing and forward earnings momentum. Following its recent quarter, the 2017 consensus estimate was lowered slightly more than its 2018 consensus estimate. As a result, CCL has what we would consider to be high 2018 year-over-year earnings growth expectations of 15%. Combined with a high multiple of 21x 2018 consensus earnings, we believe that CCL is at risk if 2018 consensus earnings are lowered.
Following its recent price recovery and what could be technically viewed as a "double-top" formation, we are willing to take profits at this time.

And Thank You!! for the upgrade on your website.
