Q: I have been rebalancing my portfolio over the past six months, reducing financials and energy and increasing utilities, telecoms, and US technologies ( all in companies you have been positive towards). I remain overweight financials, with Canadian Banks and insurers. I do have a very long term horizon, say 25 years, so if history and my nerve holds, my wife and I should have the desired dividend stream and a decent shot a capital gains over time. However, after reading yet another “we’re all gonna die” column from Dave Rosenberg, it made me wonder if I shouldn’t continue my shift and sell down more financials and increase in sectors with strong dividends that might better weather the storms that may or may not be imminent. What are your thoughts?
As always, I value your opinions. Thank. You.

Q: I was about to ask about HSE but saw Joseph had asked the exact same question I had... Husky is down over 3x more then other energy names in the last month... I work in the oil patch and while I’ve generally steered clear of the sector, HSE looks like a nice rebound trade to me. I was also thinking of pairing it with short on a name that has maybe outperformed. This would just be a small speculative trade. What are your thoughts? Thanks
