Q: I thought I was being careful but I've still ended up overweight in industrials ( 17%) owning the above 5 companies. Is there any chance I could relabel any of them to get down to a better level, or must I drop some? If i "relabel" ECI as consumer staples, and SIS as health, I bring my holding down to 12%. Still high, I know, but acceptable? If I must sell some of them, would you rank them in order of reverse preference ?( Keep to not keep) Many thanks for your steady hand as always. I'd be on Advil without you!

Q: Follow up question re graphene if I may. I'm wondering if a better strategy would be to invest in the technology developers and patent holders rather than the raw material miners. If I understand correctly, the technology requires miniscule amounts of material so I'm not sure if the miners are the real play here. Thoughts?
Q: Hello, in which sector of the economy do you consider TRI? TMX Money put it in the industrials sector, does that make sense? I am underweight in both the consumer discretionary and industrials sector, could you suggest two names(with dividends)for each of these two sectors? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Just a response to the reader about DRIP. I just called webroker and asked them to put my dividend stocks on a DRIP. They can do it for just the stocks you want or for all of them. It was done in a flash. ( unlike many "please hold" calls!)
Q: Good day,
I have seen some fairly substantial losses with some of the listed stocks in my portfolio. I would like your advice on whether you think I should continue to hold the above or to sell , take my losses and move on. BEP.un and ZUT have just been flat, so your advice on wether to sell or hold would be great!
Thank you

Q: I've read that BCE is overvalued and set for a decline by Motley Fool (a couple of times now). Do you think there is anything to this, or would you considered it a buy with the recent pullback?
Thanks,

Q: I am working towards emulating the balanced equity portfolio across various accounts.
Would you please list the ones that would be best in a TFSA and the order was in which one would buy them.
Also, I have a RESP for my 3 year old grandchild which holds PBH and KXS. What would be a good addition to this account with next years contribution?
Thank you

Q: Energy
Twenty per cent my portfolio is in energy. In descending order of size of my holdings, they include Enbridge (ENF), Inter Pipeline (IPL), Pembina Pipeline (PPL), Suncor (SU), Veresen (VSN) and Superior Plus (SPB). The rest is in a handful of upstream and equipment services, all of which have accrued losses in a registered account - but much recovered since their lows.
With the recent surge in prices and my pessismitic view of the industry, I am thinking about bailing out of the everything except ENF, IPL and PPL, reducing my exposure to energy to about 12%.

Q: HI,( Merry Christmas to you and yours !)
I've owned this stock since 2009 so I don't mind a little volatily, as I feel this company and the CEO are eventually going to be recognized as one of the premier entrepeneurial companies in Canada. Today there wasquite a turnaround on Premium Brands price, however the acquistitions seem to me to be right in line with their plans and are a good fit. Have any thoughts on the drop and the acquisitions?
Slainte,
