Q: Good morning,
If I sell ADW.A (which I am tempted to do) as I am trying to follow the Income Portfolio as well as the Bal. Eq. Portfolio I will need about a 5% ($35000) position in another equity to replenish the Consumer Staples sector. Currently hold ATD.B, DOL, L, and PBH. Thanks as always for your insightful responses.

Q: I am setting up a dollar cost averaging couch potato portfolio with low cost mutual funds (td e-series etc). I will be contributing money into this portfolio every month from my salary. The portfolio will consist of 25% canadian index, 30% US, 30% internatonal, 10% Emerging Market, 5% Nasdaq. My time horizon is 15 years with above average risk tolerance. The question I have is if I need to include bonds in this mix. I feel that stock will do well in the next 15 years amidst an interest rate increasing environment. I am hoping to achieve an avearge of 9% to 10% return per annum over the 15 year period. Please let us know if it is a sound plan. Thanks for the great service.

Q: I think CCL.B, RPI.UN, WPK and ITP are sort of i the packaging/labelling business so somewhat related. How would you rate these companies based on earnings potential and management competence & ability to do what they promise over 5 yr period? Also separately rate each relative to their balance sheet please.
Thank you.

Thank-you

Q: I bought AcuityAds not too long ago for about $1.30. It has had a nice run up recently to around $3.40. What is driving the increase? Should I buy more? Or should I take a half position off the table and then repurchase more if it comes back down?

Q: I joined 5iResearch a few months ago and I have learned a great deal about how to be a better investor. I have 2 sons - one in 4th yr business school and the other a recent business grad. I think they could both benefit greatly from your service. Do you offer a 3 month "trial subscription" (I am happy to pay) so they can see if its something they will actually use on a regular basis as I do?

Many Thanks

Scott
