Q: I’m looking to add a 3 positions to this list. I was thinking about bns or slf. Can you give me some other suggestions from the balanced portfolio? This account is 20% of my total investments, and is for medium to long term savings. The rest is in well diversified funds. Thanks.

Q: Hi there, I own both TSGI and GC in a well diversified portfolio. I'm up 12% on GC, but down 50% on TSGI. I don't mind holding if there is still good potential, but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there with better short term recovery potential while I wait for things to turn in Star's favour. I'm risk tolerant and any size or sector is fine.

Q: I’m thinking of setting up two RIFF accounts (for my wife and I) with approximately 10 excellent dividend-growing companies (in each account) that have a good track record of growing their dividends, that provide diversity across most of the sectors and that would be able to provide most of the dividend income needed to meet the required annual minimum withdrawal from the RIFF's. Along with these dividend companies, I was thinking of adding a couple of ETF’s to add some foreign exposure (say, 25%). In addition to the income which the RIFF’s would provide, I also receive income from a defined benefit plan, CPP & OAS. I would like your opinion on whether this idea makes sense? Also, what companies, along with some ETF’s for foreign exposure, would you recommend? Deduct as many points as you deem necessary. Thanks!

Q: My TFSA is all cash and represents 2 % of total with rest split evenly between RSP and cash account holding solid blue chip stocks.
I use for fun money usually selling if getting 20% return ( that doesn’t happen very often ! )
Am looking at equal amounts of these stocks.
Your thoughts on each one is appreciated Any other candidates?
Thanks

Q: LNR has started acting better. Aside from portfolio weighting considerations, what are the main concerns here? I see a stock that is trading under book value and could move significantly whenever the sector becomes more compelling. Given a long time horizon do you think adding is warranted? Thank-you as always.
