Q: Transcontinental or CCL.B? At current valuations which stock is more attractive? Would you consider them in the same industry, more or less?

Thanks.

Q: Both these stocks are in my portfolio at a substantial loss. At what point does one, or for that matter you, decide to sell a position as it slides downward. Some have argued that if a stock slides 10% that it should be sold. Perhaps not the best rule of thumb but it would avoid the substantial losses in the company's share price. TCL continues to slide each day seemingly without a bottom. So at what point do you pull the plug on a position and move on? Recent research I have seen on TCL sees potentially another $3-4 of downside, Where do you see each of these companies forming a bottom?
Clearly the market is not in love with either of the two at this time. What will change this?

Q: Good afternoon,

PHO has been a nice ride, TCL.A not so much so. Is this dead money ($3,500) for the next year?
Looking at COV. Any other suggestions? Currently hold: BNS,SLF,BEP,GSY, AQN, SIS, TOY, BEP, MX, PBH & RAY all in my TFSA.

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i team
Chrystal ball gazing time again. I am thinking of selling transcontinental for a tax loss. I just bought it seems strange to be selling it. I have a feeling that it won't move much until the next quarterly report, if at all. would you agree that it is relativly safe to sell and buy bak at a similat price in 30 days? i would wait a bit, though, to see if it bounces up a bit in the next week or two, as it has been heavily sold and could be in for at least a little bounce.
thanks for all the help.

Q: Hi, Transcontinental Inc shares are down almost 20% within less than a week, due to an unexpected hit on earnings mostly caused by delay in Coveris contribution. From a long term perspective and with cushion of dividend yield of 3%, does it make sense and would you be comfortable to take advantage of the dip and overweight to 5-6% for income and growth. Thanks

Q: Greetings! I am looking to add to my TFSA (long term), holdings that have good yield and strong dividend growth. I was considering either AQN or EMA, or should I divert from utilities and go with something with more potential for capital appreciation, TCL?
thank you!

Q: Can you comment on QBR in relation to its prospects related to its redemption notice of outstanding 4.125% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due October 15, 2018. It had good results recently and I am questioning whether there are better alternatives such as Transcontinental.
Kirkland Lake and gold have recently lost their lustre ad momentum. In light of the political chaos globally, is this a hold or can you suggest other options in the mining space?
Thank you!

Q: Good day to all. I am looking for a few very good value stocks. It seems that many investors are beginning to do the same. I am well diversified so your answer could include any sector and dividends are not that important but would be a nice bonus.
Thank you
Have a great weekend

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: hello 5i:
I'm considering selling shares of SJ, and buying one of the above. Can you advise which you see as a favourite today, overall, considering safety, capital growth, dividend growth. Long-term hold, approx 5 years.

Q: As a follow-up to Larry's question on July 10, which pre-supposed my own, I had one more point: I am looking for two companies which will need to be cashed out in 2 years. Do these two fit the bill, or would you recommend something else? Just looking for growth. Dividend not important. Feel free to suggest two others which might have more bang for the bucks. Sectors not important, as I'm well-diversified and comfortable with present portfolio, thanks to 5I of course. : )

These two new positions would be "mad money" undertakings. Thanks.
