Q: Hi, There are a number of stocks in the 5i balanced portfolio that I don't have yet. If I were to buy only three from the following list, which three would you pick for its growth and its value? My portfolio is well diversified so the sector allocation isn't a big concern:

GC, AIF, BYD.UN, CAE, CLS, PKI, SYZ, or GSY, PHO, ECN,

thanks

Q: Greetings, guys.

I have Winpak and Loblaws. I like both names because Loblaws is trading at a roughly 15 p/e and Winpak has no debt and a large cash position. However, eps growth in 2018 is fairly muted in both names.

All things being equal, I was wondering, would you sell Loblaw for WSP Global and Winpak for Cae? I have a small loss on Loblaw in a tax free account and I have a 10% gain on Winpak in a taxable account.

Do you think these changes improve the growth profile of my portfolio, without increasing the volatility? I appreciate your thoughts.

Q: In a diversified RRSP account I have 10% industrials with positions in XTC, ZCL, NFI, and MG. Have been patient with XTC and can remain so, but do own MG already. The account is more growthy given time to need. Looking for a second opinion on my thought to swap XTC for DOO/CAE/BYD. Would you make the switch? If so to witch name? I don't trade a lot but do watch the names and account fairly closely.

Q: As a recent subscriber and investor, I note that several stocks that I own have the option of DRIP. My portfolio is large enough that the quarterly dividends allow for a substantial purchase of new or existing additions to stocks, like CAE or Boyd. As the cost of buying the stocks is not overly impactful to the purchase, is foregoing the drip, and the 5% discount, advisable, in order to allow a choice in selecting stock picks?

Thanks. KC

Q: reviewing your reports i like to add CAE and CSU to my cash account and CGX to retirement account.
i dont like to add to the number of my holding or the margin.
So i would consider letting go of CJT (recent purchase ) reduce my TD (FROM 300 to 200 units ) ZZZ (reluctantly, t has done well in the short time ). IN MY RET A/C let go of DIV .
Appreciate your feedback

replace DIV with CGX in my retirement account (i am surprised at your A- rating for CJX
