Q: I have ACQ with a big loss and am thinking that I should sell and buy either KBL or NWC (keeping in the consumer space). Thinking 2 yrs out, would this be a good idea? If yes, would there be a better replacement than KBL or NWC

Q: Hi there

I have owned a part position in Northwest Company and was thinking of adding to it on the recent pullback to bring it up to a full position. I like it's steady income characteristics. Do you think it's recent decreased same stores sales issues are a temporary blip, or more of a long term trend going forward? If you were going to invest a full position into a food/merchant seller would it be your first choice or would it be something else?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: I am thinking of adding some Northwest Co. to my portfolio. I have read your comments on NWC's recent quarter and would like any information on insider holdings and any strong institutional interests(s). Appreciate your thoughts on what are the preferred metrics for looking at consumer staple stocks such as L, MRU, EMP.B and ATD.B Thanks for all you do. / Bill

Q: I am doing some sector re-balancing of an income oriented portfolio. Can you please suggest a name other than Loblaw or Alimentation C-T to add in the Consumer staples/non-cyclical space, and also a recommendation for two new positions in Utilities (I am considering Fortis, Algonquin, Enbridge and Canadian Utilities, but open to other ideas).

Thank you,

Q: Seasons Greetings 5i Team

I have noticed that NWC's recent 3rd Quarter was positive, as the chart up tic revealed. Trusting that I am not overly invested in this sector, I am thinking to add NWC to my long term 'income portfolio' ..as it really is not big on growth.

May I have your opinion of the finances of NWC please?

Thank you D Mc

Q: Hi, I have owned NWC for about 5 years. It has come down this year as a result of several poorer quarters. I am considering selling it as I am concerned that another weaker quarter will send it even lower. Firstly, do you think this is a good idea. I also own a half position in ATD.b., bought in January, 2014, and am considering adding to this position if I sell NWC. If you feel this transaction is a good move should I wait for a pullback in ATD.b as it is near the top of its range or would you consider another consumer company instead. I am looking for a long term position in the consumer staples area. Thank you for your assistance. I do appreciate your site and the work you do. Lynda
