Q: I hold the following in my balanced equity type portfolio and they all represent less than a half position, either because they have dropped or because they have not kept up with the rest of the portfolio. I have enough new money to top up 4 or 5 of them to their original weightings. Which would you top up at this point and which would you simply let go?

I see GUD starting to breakout from the base around $7.50, any reason for the move over the last two days and would you add to GUD now or wait a few more quarters? Also been holding GILD for a few years (-40%) and looking to change names? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Q: I am trying to quantify the new political risk owning this name. With the transaction for GBT being in Brazilian Reals I expect most of its revenue is in Brazil, however your report mentions Argentina and Chile as potentially unstable and there is a total of 10 Latin countries it operates in.
Can you break down the revenue sources for GBT by country please?

Q: Gud has now 51% and yet BIO trades at $10.15 BRL, about 16% below the offer price.
What do you read into this. Is there an opportunity here ? Can I buy BIO, should I ?
Will GUD offer less than they offered the private previous owners ? When will GUD start reporting earnings from this acquisition ? Do they need all the shares to do so ?
Finally do you see more analysts stepping in now with this new acquisition, maybe one or two will make it their top pick in 2020 ? Thoughts?Thanks

Q: Hi,

I'm looking to start investing a lump sum over the next 12 months or so. What list of Canadian stocks would you recommend at current levels? Do you have 5-7 names that you find particularly attractive right now. Looking for a mix of growth and income with not too much risk.

Thanks,
Jason
