Q: Howdy!
I try to be a buy and hold investor with a long-term investment horizon in my RRSP account.
I have recently joined your service and am thinking about trying to reposition my RRSP account to emulate the sector allocation in your Balanced Portfolio.
About 30% of my portfolio is sitting on cash /cash equivalent investments right now; and I have almost 0% in the Technology and Basic Materials sectors.
As such, would you recommend a position in all of the nine equities that represent the Tech and Basic Materials sectors in your Balanced Portfolio?
Or have some of them (like CCL.B) peaked /not as much room left for appreciation compared to when first bought?

Q: GUD is consistently a top recommendation as a growth stock. Have you spoken with GUD mgmt. lately to be able provide any additional info. as to when/how they are expecting to invest some of their cash and therefore move the stock in the next six months?
Without any news, it seems that GUD will continue to drift down as the 'bored' investors continue to sell.

Q: I am surprised that you bought CGX in the income portfolio today. Even though it is down substantially it still trades at an EBITDA/EV multiple that is significantly higher than US comparables. I know that CGX is well-run, but has little growth and under GAAP accounting has not covered its dividend in 5 of the past 7 years. This does not seem to be a good stock for a conservative income portfolio. What am I missing? In your answer I would welcome a comparison to Corus Entertainment, which also offers little growth, but at least the dividend is well covered and would seem like a much safer choice for income.
