Q: Recently I asked a question about premium brands. When I thought my question wasn't answered I re-asked the question. However I was too fast and you did answer my original question. So I apologize for being too hasty. My next question relates to the app. I have a new tablet and am having no luck in finding the app on Google playstore. Any suggestions? I'll wait patiently for your answer.

Q: Just to build on the question from Allan today (Nov. 8th) and your answer, can you re-visit your most recent report on SJ and make some comments on what what might change if you were updating that report today? I consider your reports a fundamental and valuable component of your service, and when I re-read your report with the information that we now have there are few things that don’t seem to track. Based on the ratings criteria is this now a B+ (or even B) company? I know “post-mortem” is too dramatic, but maybe a report “de-brief” is in order?

Q: Magna, Parkland, and Premium Brands have seen significant declines, making them look like attractive dividend stocks with yields around 4%. What do you think about buying them for their dividends? Is there a risk that these stocks could fall further? Which one would be the best to buy for its dividend and potential recovery, and which one should I avoid? Please rank them.

Q: I turned 71 this year and I am pulled between GROWTH & DIVIDEND stocks in my RRIF starting in January. Am I wrong in thinking that it does not make a difference, if: (I do have growth stocks in my Cash & TFSA accounts).
My Tech & other Growth stocks appreciate by 6% or more and I withdraw 6 % via my RRIF, or
Withdraw 6% of my Dividend stocks? Compounding does work, as I bought $20K of RBC a few years ago @ $112 & is now @ $172. Tried the same with TD which did not work.
Obviously, the idea is to not deplete my assets by the RRIF withdrawals? Am I right in my thinking?

Thanks!

Q: How will Trump’s tariff policy impact Canadian companies operating in the United States? Taking ATZ as an example, will the tariffs raise Aritzia's costs, making their clothing less competitive in the U.S. and potentially slowing their expansion there? Additionally, which Canadian companies with U.S. operations are most likely to feel the effects of these tariffs?

Q: Hello team,

I'm considering selling Apple at a large profit and deploying elsewhere.
I want to offset some gains with some losses.
Losers in order are:
DRX
SGY
BCE (small amount held in my non-reg)
Selling all is fine with me so I can balance out my Apple gains. What do you think about selling these names and what are a couple of your favourite US and CAD stock for new money?

Q: Hi. My wife and I are in the process of rebalancing our portfolio. We're in our 70s and our portfolio has treated us well. Unfortunately our winners have grown to create a portfolio that is now 70% tech and 30% cash.

We'd like to bring our Nvidia and Apple holdings from just over 20% for each to around 10 or 12%.

Where would you reinvest the proceeds of the sale outside of the tech sector?
What 5 top US companies and 5 Canadian companies would be your favourites and why?

Thanks
Frank
