Thank you for the great work. Pinnacle Renewable is a business I've had my eye on for several months. Do you see the pullback in the stock to below the IPO price as a good entry opportunity?

Q: Hello, I am looking at making some adjustments to my portfolio over the next few months as I am concerned about the possibility of the next recession perhaps coming by the end of 2019 or early 2020. I would appreciate your recommendations for some defensive stocks which would weather a recession without too big of a drop. I already hold ENB, FTS, BNS and TD which I intend to keep but am looking to replace some of my other stocks with more defensive names.
thanks for your advice.
Paula
