Q: We are removing our losing position in The Stars Group Inc. (TSGI-T, portfolio weight 1.3%) from our large-cap model portfolio. The price and forward earnings momentum of The Stars Group has turned sharply downwards in recent weeks. In an overall market which we believe may be shifting more towards equities with lower volatility and more predictable earnings, The Stars Group is not a good fit, in our view. We have also seen weakness in the overall gaming subsector as seen through the VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF (BJK-US), with many names such as Las Vegas Sands Corp (LVS-US) and MGM Resorts International (MGM-US), seeing steep declines in recent weeks.
After reading the above in a TD commentary I feel I should sell my position in The Stars Group. Do you agree?

Q: i am looking for a Chartwell type comparable in the US. Would you consider ventas a good alternative. Understand that it has a broader investment base outside of retirement homes but would suspect this positions the Reit for a bit better growth? Looking for dividend with a bit of growth. If not Ventas, can you recommend an alternative.

Q: 1) Where can I find a stock screen for Cash to Market Cap? I like companies with high cash on their balance sheet and a cash to market cap ratio of 10% or better.
2) What is the correct way to draw an up trend line on a daily, weekly or monthly chart. Is it the closing price points or lowest price points?
3) What is the correct way to draw a resistance line on a daily, weekly or monthly chart. Is it the closing price points or highest price points?

Q: Invesco just announced that its assets under management grew by less than 0.1% in August vs July. That does not seem like a good omen -appears to be capital gains growth inside portfolios (~3% S&P) just outpacing withdrawals.

In your opinion, what weighting should be given to this metric in this industry vs the large dividend yield 5% and low P/E of 8?

Q: Considering sell fli and buying cgx. My reasoning is that rising interest rates have not really helped insurance stocks because the yield curve is flat or close to it. FLI is exdevidend Sept 21. Should this affect my decision to sell? CGX has an equivalent dividend , more growth .gaming while at the same time time I collect a dividend, I won’t be paying a management fee,
I’m under water with FLI.
Should I stick with FLI or switch.? I don’t think FLI dividend is eligible for the tax credit

Q: Currently own a 4% position of Dollarama and after the disappointment today was thinking of switching over to Covalon as a replacement. Looking out 3+ years would you look at this as a better long term strategy? Starting to worry the Dollar store space could get crowded in the coming years.
