Q: I have sold Magna and my question now is what company would you recommend as a replacement. Ernie

Q: Can you please comment on the Earnings for $NFI and how the Market might react.


Thanks Valter

Q: What is your take on the NFI Q2 results, and its forward looking information, just released today? Much appreciated.

Q: Hello, I have the following balanced portfolio....Can you recommend 3-5 additional names with good growth prospects and a decent current valuation that would help bring some diversification. 3-5 year time horizon.

Q: Currently UTX is the only industrial stock in my portfolio and I would like to add two or three more to bring industrials up to 15 to 20% of my total portfolio. I have a very long-term total return focus. What are your favorite industrial stocks (either Canadian or US) at this time? thx

Q: I have the above securities as well as RBC Cdn Equity Inc-D shares, Sentry Cdn Income, Sentry Global REIT. I am a retired conservative dividend income investor with a company pension, CPP, annuities and Fisgard Capital for fixed income.

I currently own ECI and will sell and look for a Consumer stock to replace it (not interested in BIP...I have a full slate of Utilities). I filtered several candidates using fundamental metrics (P/E, beta, P/BV, P/CF, P/S) and technical metrics (200 dma, etc), as well as yield and price targets (for what they are worth).

I will keep my CGX and PBH. I'm looking for a long term hold (conservative, liquid stock with a good and growing dividend). My short list of candidates include CLIQ, CTC.a, PLC, TCL.A. I already flushed ADW.A, KBL, RSI and since I already have 1 food stock, I flushed L and NWC.

Please provide your insights into the appropriateness of these Consumer stocks (CLIQ, CTC.A, PLC, TCL.A) for my portfolio, given my circumstances and existing stock positions.

Are there other securities I should consider, even those that I have flushed?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: I have to sell one of the following stocks in the immediate future...CCL.B, NFI, SIS, CLS, PHO. Based on their growth potential (1 to 2 years) which stock would you suggest selling.

Q: First, as a new investor, I have learned much from subscribing to your service. It is well worth the subscription fee. I appreciate you guys keeping the answers and advice simple and to the point. Keep it up!

I bought into NFI at a worst possible time as I'm down 17% as of today. I've stuck with them based on research here and elsewhere. Given that, I'm debating using another portfolio to obtain a position in NFI to help recoup losses as now may be a good time to invest. The same thing happened to me with RHT where I had a large loss but I later obtained a position of RHT in another portfolio and so far have a gain where I could really benefit from future growth. However, looking back at previous Balanced Growth portfolios, allocation for NFI is decreasing. Is this due to decreasing confidence with a possible end objective of ditching NFI? Monthly allocation for RHT has been relatively stable so I was more comfortable with my above plan.

Thanks

Q: I have a well diversified portfolio using a passive index strategy. I have the above stocks in my TFSA to boost the total portfolio return. Thanks to 5i that has worked well. My current TFSA holdings are listed and I am up at least 15% on the first 5 stocks listed and plus / minus 5% on the last 5 stocks listed. I am in my early 70's and feel I don't want to spend as much time on the TFSA investments. Can you give me up to 10 buy and forget growth names for the TFSA and if some of the listed stocks are included in your list then so much the better. Thanks

Q: Where do you see the most short term upside from the following: SIS, TOY or NFI?


Thanks Valter

Q: Good Morning,

Please comment on this morning announcement on second quarter 2018, deliveries and Backlog?

Thanks

Q: I have a question about NFI. NFI continues to lose ground. Any idea of a bottom?

Q: Regarding NFI, in your view how much of a concern does high US and Canadian federal/state/province/municipal government debt represent, in terms of governments' future ability/inability to replace/upgrade buses at a prudent pace?
Thank you.

Q: I have 4% position in NFI in my RRSP. The value has dimished by more than 15% since I added it to my portfolio and continue to decline almost everyday due to NAFTA related issue, I suppose. Would you suggest divesting at this juncture? Or should I buy and average it. Thanks for the advice

Q: Recently NFI has shown weakness well beyond the norm. Has there been any news that might indicate the apparent flurry of selling? I am aware that some folks look to transport stock movements as a precursor of a potential weakening economy (the old saw about financial markets being a leading economic indicator). Thanks for all the help that you and fellow members provide me with. Bill

Q: good day i was thinking of purchasing NFI with the weak price performance What are your thoughts , i realize the tariff talk at the border may not be helping .Thank you so much

Q: Have NFI, DOL, and CIX.

Not too impressed with DOL, looking to sell.

Want to add a good growth stock. Loblaws and BCE look appealing. BCE appears on multiple picklists, and seems sector-leading . And Loblaws shows strong fundamentals and consistently growing profits.

Your views on these or other better options please.

Q: What is your assessment of NFI ??
Would they avoid any Nafta restrictions with their American factories etc??

Q: hi Peter can you recommend 3 Canadian companies that offer long term capital appreciation have reasonable debt levels and derive better than 50 percent revenues from US operations thanks Richard

Q: Hi there,

If one were buying NFI and TSGI today - would you add equal weight into both positions, or would you be adding a larger position to TSGI over NFI? In other words, if the combined weighting was 7% between the 2 names, would you do 3.5 in each, 4/3, etc? My investing goal would be to achieve higher growth but still maintain diversification between the two holdings.

Thanks!
