Q: In a diversified RRSP account I have 10% industrials with positions in XTC, ZCL, NFI, and MG. Have been patient with XTC and can remain so, but do own MG already. The account is more growthy given time to need. Looking for a second opinion on my thought to swap XTC for DOO/CAE/BYD. Would you make the switch? If so to witch name? I don't trade a lot but do watch the names and account fairly closely.

Q: Hi 5i team,
Can I get your assessment of FCR's most recent quarter? Appeared to be a bit lackluster to me. Apart from interest rate sentiment that seems to keeping most REIT share prices down, are there any heightened business risks to this company given the type and location of the properties they own? And is the current payout ratio reasonable in your opinion?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Now that we have all the bad news out of the way, can a case be made for holding Cineplex for the longterm, ignoring the current price fluctuation? I had a "stink bid" placed ahead of earnings announcement and I never thought it would hit. At first I felt extremely fortunate. Now I'm reading all of the doomsday articles on Cineplex's future.

So we all know that Cineplex has to, and is diversifying to other avenues other than just movie theaters.

Questions:
Can the company diversify fast enough?
Can the company sustain the (hopefully growing) dividend?
Are you comfortable with their balance sheet?
Is a 3% holding too much for a longterm dividend growth investor who rarely sells?
Thanks.
