Q: Hi, Can you please comment on Marco Polo sale of 4.5 mln shares on a privately arranged bought deal. (Any idea of the price?) I understand that they still will own 6.5 mln shares. This is the 1st and largest shareholder deciding to monetize a sizable portion of their holding on the heels of the company's 2nd largest private equity shareholder slowly and contantly offloading large blocks of their shares over past 6-9 months. Is there a theme here? New Jersey issue is still an overhang. What are your thoughts ? Thanks

Q: I submitted this question last Thursday and received the auto response that my question had been submitted but since I haven't received a response I will try again.
My question relate to the income portfolio. We own many stock from the 3 portfolios but now that we are about to retire, we are trying to mimic the income portfolio. I understand that if one already owned ET, SPB, VNR, and DH that we should stick with them however, if one was constructing an income portfolio today can you suggest substitutes for these names? Also, given the dividend that ZCL pays, would it be suitable for an income portfolio?
Thank you.

Q: Hi team, I am looking to start a position in SYZ, I have pretty well every position in the growth portfolio. I'm thinking 3% full position in one purchase . Is it a good idea?
I am thinking about the same with ESL, and have noticed the share price is lower now than a year ago. Is a full position same as above be acceptable?
Thank you as always for the service.

What is the expected growth?
Would it not apparent itself to PUR although not the same?

Better in taxable account or not?

Q: Hello,
May I have your opinion on selling part if my Amaya (3%) and Boyd (7%) positions to purchase Premium Brands. As I am over in consumer discretionary and hold only a 2% posit in Saputo in basics. This would bring basics up to approx. 5% and discretionary down to approx. 16%. I also hold aw.un, bpf.un cgx dhx.b and gsy. In your opinion is there a better rebalancing option?

Your input is much appreciated.

Q: Hi, As part of a portfolio cleanup I am considering replacing <1% positions in DSG and ESL, and adding some more cash and add a full position in OTC. Does this make sense? With the new purchase of DELL EMC enterprise..I think OTC has positioned itself for growth. Are the liabilities increasing due to this purchase? How does it plan to fund this purchase? Do you think it would be better idea to wait for the benefits/issues due to this purchase to sink in?
