Q: Q: I plan to have a portfolio which is good for one year, five year and ten or more years. My objective is to have good growth, capital appreciation with moderate risk. Capital preservation over three years in spite of high short-term volatility will be fine. Please tell me what you think of a portfolio I am considering putting together consisting of V-N, UNH-N, WFC-N, NFI-T, FB-O, AMZN-O, GOOGL-O, KXS-T, ENB-T, CN-T, CJT-T, BYD.UN-T. Your thoughts on how this may compare to the BE portfolio performance, volatility, Saftey. Equal weights would be purchased. I invite you to make any changes, additions, deletions? I will appreciate if you place these stocks from high to low priority.
I apologize if I am asking too much. Thank you.

Q: Please comment on the marijuana sector meltdown. Any idea what turned the green momentum into a bloodbath today? Is the speculative money that the fueled the rally all exiting en masse?

There was news that Lowblaws is applying for a license to dispense marijuana. Considering that the crop is almost as easy to grow as tomatoes, would some of the BC based hothouses look to apply for production licenses?

Q: Regarding the question about selecting half of your balanced equity portfolio, you mention ‘confidence ‘ ‘over the long term’ for stock like TOY and CXI over much bigger BNS and T ..
I’m not certain to understand ..do you mean confidence in over-performance over a longer period..at the risk of higher volatilty/risk ? Is it much better to buy the complete portfolio ?
thanks for the good work !

Q: Hello, This question comes from your comments to Joel regarding BDI. I am holding DCI pending the completion of the sale and wonder if BDI would be a decent choice for income and future growth. I am thinking of selling now and making the switch. I would appreciate your thoughts, pro and con as well as alternates I could consider. My portfolio is well diversified so not a consideration for this change.
Thanks for the advice and input.
Brian

Q: Just wondering what your comments are on the overall company of DIV and how safe do you think the dividend is? Also on October 4th there was a press release. In the press release it stated

"The Corporation will be holding a Special Meeting of shareholders to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass a special resolution to approve the reduction of the stated capital of the Corporation’s common shares to $200.0 million."

What does that exactly mean and is it positive, negative or neither towards the share price?

Thanks
