Q: Hello,
I have owned stpl for years as a sector based diversification strategy but feel it has had disappointing returns, even for that sector noting that there are some great breakout picks in the staples sector.
Could you please advise if you think it is a reasonable choice for the staples sector versus specific picks?
I realize that you typically recommend dol as well as wmt, cost and pg. just wondering what you think are good long term picks at this time given significant movement in these in the last couple of years.

Q: I was just reviewing the Balanced Equity Model Portfolio for investment ideas. You show Loblaws with a YTD return of 15.18% as of Nov 30. I believe it is closer to 32%. Metro has a return of about 14%. Why has Metro lagged Loblaws so much for so many years ?
