Q: Things by and large have been rolling along pretty well for a few years now- I am close to having 100% invested in stocks. I am starting to think holding some cash might be prudent,like maybe 10% of my portfolio's value. Your thoughts?

Q: hello 5i:
on 2 March, Gary asked the following question:
Question: I am looking to add some of the names that you cover. In your opinion - which 5-10 names offer the best potential for price appreciation over the medium to long term.

As a counter, could I ask for your 5-10 best VALUE picks, that would include stocks with secure dividends for the medium to long term.
thanks

Q: Hi team

I am retired and have, fortunately, not been hit too hard with the energy collapse. Still, I want to reduce volatility in my Canadian cash account. Currently I hold 2.5 % in Arc and 1.8% in Crescent Point in my portfolio. I realize both have juicy dividends but I'm also ~15-20% underwater with these holdings.

Because I am not "overweight" in energy should I just ride out the current state of affairs or take my losses and add some holdings ( diversified of course) from your model portfolio I do not yet have?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
People were talking about impending increase in interest rates for quite a few years now. Friday's US employment statistics were encouraging and yet the stock market dropped like a rock; it seems that investors are so "hooked" on low interest rates that they are willing to put the prospect of a "good economy" in the proverbial "back seat".
I fear that when the rates will start rising, the stock market will take a licking.
How do you explain this paradox...what is your take on this?
Thanks,
Antoine
