Q: I am retired and living on dividend income. 80% of my funds are in my income portfolio, which is focused on dividends and yield (approx. 20 stocks) and meet my income needs.
So I am considering investing the remaining 20% of my funds in your balanced portfolio for more capital appreciation. How would you recommend I go about this? If I also mirror your balanced portfolio, I would have 40+ stocks in my portfolio.
Would you therefore recommend 5 stocks that look most attractive at current valuations and invest equally in each?

Q: Just a follow-up to the information I posted on Sunday: TDSI Action notes report yesterday, revised their target price from the $10 to $5.50 and calling the stock a HOLD. The analyst (only one) states that the 00740 and 00810 codes are being broken into 5 separate codes. "Although the changes include a mixture of rate cuts and increases, we believe the net effect could be an 8.5% reduction in CRH's realized rates."
"The underlying ASSUMPTION is that the proposed rules are implemented as is on January 1 2018".
He also believes the changes will hamper CRH's M&A activity.
Let's hope this analyst ( Lennox Gibbs) has decided to be ultra conservative after being comfortable on Friday.
