Q: Real Matters has experienced weakness in the last few months (as most of your readers know).

But in the past week, there was a gap down and I think it has more to do with their competitive position in the market related to the pending merger between CoStar and Corelogic (which I would think is Real Matters competition). What do you think about this? Do you know if this will have a material change in their ability to gain market share in the Appraisals business?

Q: Apples vs oranges vs olives question....
I still hold SJ and just noticed internalized that it has been dropped from the portfolios. Only a half position and I have some cash to invest so looking to maybe sell it and buy a new full position. My portfolio is well balanced although selling SJ will make me a bit light in materials so might prioritize a materials stock like CCL or AEM. Problem is I dont like non voting shares and I historically have timed all my mining purchases poorly....seem to buy on the highs in that sector...In general I am a balanced portfolio follower with tendencies to start buying more from the income portfolio. So looking at stocks in the portfilio I might look at adding a full postion can you rank best buys right now with +5 year hold. SJ ( hold and add to it), TFII, CCL, AEM, BCE, other non financial/ non industrial from the balance/income portfolio high on your list buy list right now.

Q: This is a question about transferring GSY from my growth portfolio to my balanced portfolio. Both portfolio's are balanced and diversified. (I also have an income portfolio.) GSY is now more than 10% weight in my growth portfolio. And the balanced portfolio is 3 times plus the size of my growth portfolio. Transferring GSY from growth to balanced would mean not having to trim GSY....and my inclination to do this transfer stems from the recent move of SHOP from growth to balance, as I think GSY is now "mature". What say you about this transfer idea?.........Tom

Q: I sold my shares on SHOP the day before its earnings release which turned out to be a good move, and I lost my LSPD after its earnings to a stop loss at $90. I'm thinking that if I want to get back into one of them that LSPD would be preferred at this time because it will benefit from the re-opening trade, particularly restaurants, whereas re-opening will be of little benefit to SHOP. Do you agree?

Q: QST VS XBC: Could you explain the differences between these companies? Which one has higher growth? As both are in the Growth Portfolio, I'm assuming you prefer both? Would you buy either today or would you wait for things to settle down?

Q: Thankyou for your continued confidence in CSU and Bam.A. I have held them both for many years through ups and downs, and have made a lot of money. What would be your next two favorite Canadian stocks with similar growth and risk, for a minimum 10 year hold.

Q: I have a held 4.7% position in Enbridge for 5yrs+, the average dividend yield over the period is 5.52% it will generate 5k in income for us this year. I would like to continue to hold all things being equal and the dividend not under serious risk. It would seem to me to keep the company strong they have to make a bigger push into renewable energy if this low carbon world is the future. Can you comment if you see Enbridge taking part this transition on the scale that's necessary and still keep the dividend reasonably secure.

Q: Wow, the stock price of Primo declined, about 5.25% on Wednesday and on very high volume....Me, didn't see any news. What say you....hold, or sell and move on?
......Any other suggestion(s) would be helpful, as Primo held for income as recovery from much earlier mountain size decline in stock price......Tom
