Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
What is your view of the wine industry in general and Andrew Peller in particular? A news article says that wine prices are set to rise as bad weather brings the worst harvest in 50 years to the industry leaders in France, Spain, and Italy. California was hit by wild fires and climate change is hurting other countries. Is this a positive or a negative for the Canadian wine industry?

I hold ADW.A in myTFSA and it has risen to an 18 % weighting. If I trim some ADW.A, which of the following would be your top pick for growth: BBU.UN, ENB, SYZ, Or GUD

Thank you very much for your opinion

Q: I have a question about portfolio composition. Am 3 years away from converting RSP to RRIF. Live comfortably from dividends, CPP etc.. RSP and cash accounts are equal size , concentrated,and hold banks, REITS, pipelines, utilities ( whose decline does not worry me as long as dividends remain, actually good buying opportunity). My TFSA is 3% of total portfolio and is my ' fun money" trading around many of your growth portfolio stocks.
I have cash available in both RSP and cash accounts and wish to buy smaller cap high dividend paying stocks for more return (and risk) potential. Targeting 10% allocation total cash/RSP value. So, where should I hold these stocks.....RSP or cash or both? RSP will give me 3 years tax deferral on gains ( which will be then taxed at high rate on withdrawal) or cash account with more immediate (but lower) taxes.
Any other advice would be appreciated.

Q: In my never ending quest to understand all things market related, could your team briefly explain "MARKET EFFECTIVENESS" ratings, and what constitutes a good % rate for a company management group. There are 3 groupings 1) equity usually the 7 to 15 % range. 2) asset usually the lowest % of the group and 3) capital. Never do the % seem all that high. Is one more useful then the others, and are these a good tools for evaluation? Thank you as always very happy with your service

Q: Hello 5i
In yesterday’s Q&A you replied to a question from Glen that one of your important considerations when assessing a company was “strong management”. I couldn’t agree with you more. Would you consider adding a management rating to the “report card” section of your company reports?
And on that note would you supply 6 companies that have admirable management and board teams.
Many thanks
