Q: Oh BOYD! I see you re-rated BYD down a notch and have replied to other questions that you are still believers but that the next year could be rough. With the pandemic forcing a shift to more remote work will that reduce the BYD customer base and their long term upside. More companies are set up for remote work and likely will allow some form of remote work moving forward. So fewer commutes, fewer commuters, less traffic/road rage = fewer accidents? Long term do you still see BYD in the portfolio or could cash be better deployed somewhere else for the long term.

Q: I own OTEX and not DSG or KXS. I follow a blend of the income and balanced portfolio but bought OTEX instead of KXS as I don't like to buy companies that don't have a dividend. Thus why I don't currently own DSG or KXS. My question is should I sell my OTEX and replace it with DSG or KXS. I've owned OTEX for a few years so up about 25% ( excluding the div) even with the current pullback. I can see the change in the growth portfolio but don't see a strong reason to sell it to buy DSG or KXS in a balanced/income view unless you feel strongly otherwise.

Q: I don't know anything about technical analysis. However, looking at the chart of XBC over the past week there appear to be clear levels of support and resistance at 1.80, 1.95 and then at 2.25, Presumably this relates to investors either taking profits or exiting at a reduced loss following the recent uptick. My question: does this chart tell us anything about future levels of support or what we might expect moving forward? Thank-you for your insight.

Q: GSY: I've been thinking about buying this stock; however, concerned about the BOC aggressive stated policy to increase interest rates quite quickly. This and the recent report from RBC on housing service index that is high and getting higher - higher % income required to service mortgage debt. Concerned about a recession; especially, if I own this stock which probably would get killed, I would think? Comments please.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

In my consumer discretionary basket the above 3 are "in the red". I have hung on to some losers far too long and have sold some that I wish I had not.

I have no problem in owing a basket of stocks in a sector if warranted. However that approach also means I can sell some and add to others without their position being "too large"

Assuming I would be adding to one or more of HD, DOO,DOL,LNF or MG which order would you add to and which if any of the above 3 would you not sell to add to any of those listed.

Thanks for all you do

Dennis

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

The above 5 stocks are all small positions in my Industrial basket. All are in negative territory. I have held stocks that I wish I had sold due to opportunity cost and sold several that I regretted when they bounced sharply. I have zero issues holding a lot of stocks in my basket if the risk/reward justifies it. However if there are one or more of the 5 that clearly have better prospects going forward I should be smart enough to sell some and add to others. My positions in the favorites ATA,WSP,TRI and TFII are where I would like them.

Thoughts?

Thanks for all you do

Dennis

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
Have held ENGH for several years in a LIF. I like the dividend of SYZ for income and am considering switching mainly for the dividend. I believe you rate ENGH higher than SYZ but like them both. Which do you think will make a better recovery? Is this a reasonable move?
Thanks
Gary
