Q: Which of these would you feel has a better outlook for growth going forwards. Do you think this sector is over priced considering the big promises made about infrastructure spending?

Thanks

Q: I am looking for an industrial income stock and am considering xtc and wsp. I think you would pick wsp because it is much bigger. I would like a yield greater than 3% and these two stocks yield just under 3%. I like the yield of Exchange Income, but am leery of the short situation. Would you please suggest a good industrial stock with a yield close to or exceeding 3%. Thanks.

Q: I am considering selling my Stantec (STN) stock and replacing with WSP Global (WSP), and indeed wish I had done so earlier. I have reviewed your recent answers on this question (and variations). If I were making an initial investment, it seems clear that I would perhaps lean toward WSP, but given that I currently own STN, should I hold or sell it and buy WSP? This is for a long-term investment seeking growth. (Stantec is currently my only industrial stock and about 8% of my portfolio.) Thanks, and great job.

Q: Thank you for your prompt reply to my question re PKI,AD.
I should have also asked that if you did not favour AD then could you recommend something else that has a decent yield and some positive movement in the near term.
Many thanks

Q: I am putting together a portfolio for my daughter who is somewhat risk averse. The portfolio will include a TFSA, RRSP and open account. A recurring question I know but does the drop in STN make it a more compelling long-term buy now than WSP or does WSP's momentum win out? Since the stock could go in any of the accounts, I am wondering if WSP's dividend in the open account is just enough to win the day? Income is not the prime pre-requisite here but it wouldn't hurt either.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: My son is currently 39 years old and is trying to develop a solid diversified portfolio. All of his holdings are in his RRSP except for some money in a Tangerine International growth fund which is in his TFSA. He has some new funds to add to his holdings. Could you please recommend some companies from your model portfolios that would add more diversification to his portfolio keeping in mind his relatively long investment horizon. As always, thanks for your advice.
