Q: Saputo has a significant investment in Australia. How much has the fires affected the supply of milk and the distribution of its products in that country?
The company annually increases its dividend a very modest amount and the share price remains quite flat. In light of the above is SAP still a hold?
Thanks for your great advice.

Q: I was reviewing my portfolio and thinking about 2020. Right now I have a large cash position and will want to invest some of that next year. But in what stocks?

An interview with Sir John Templeton on ROBTV many, many years ago came to mind and it may be a good advice for others.

Sir John was asked when was a good time to buy a stock and he stated "at the point of maximum pessimism".

Then he was asked when was a good time to sell a stock and he replied "you sell a stock when you find a better stock to buy."

I hope I can remember that advice as we move into and through 2020.
