Q: Hi I have some money that I want to park for a few years in a couple of stocks that are considered conservative. I am thinking of ALA and Chemtrade. They both seem reasonably priced. I will be reinvesting the dividends. Are these good choices and can you recommend a couple of others? I have considered SLF but it sure moves quickly based on interest rate news or rumours. Thanks, Bill.

Q: Could you rank these as your number 1, 2 and 3 picks for growth, and provide some rationale. I am looking at one of these for a long-term hold of perhaps 5 years or more.
Thank-you

Q: After reasonably positive financial results the shares made a new low on large volume. The only negative I could find was the low cash position triggering higher interest rate on the debentures. Would you suggest to continue holding or accept that the market is saying that there is something wrong with the company.
Thanks for the great service. Peter

Q: Hi,
I've found myself having a position in both these companies. Do you see long term value in keeping both, or do you think there's too much overlap between them? I have been thinking about buying into marijuana stock now and would be rolling any money from a potential sale into it.

Thanks
