Q: Greetings 5i team,
I have some cash in two of my accounts and am looking to add to two or more of these companies. In what order would you suggest I might add to these companies? Are there any that you would not add to at this time? For example, CAE and GC have been badly mauled, have not yet recovered, but perhaps I should treat them as a hold?
I realize that these companies vary according to sector, size growth, income and recovery potential making this a challenging question.
Thank you for your work.
SP

Q: I bought shares in this company many years ago in my registered account primarily for income. Would you recommend that I continue to hold them? If not what would you replace it with assuming I want to have a company that provides a dividend yield of at least 3% ?

Q: What, if any, impact to Primo do you see from Nestle's announced explorations into getting out of the water business in N America? During the Cott-to-Primo business transition, Primo's financial statements are rather more difficult to digest, but at the very least, Primo doesn't seem to have the capability to buy much of the Nestle water business. What other companies might benefit from Nestle's divestiture, and how might that affect Primo?
Deduct credits as required for multiple questions. Thanks.

Q: Good morning, I hold these smaller cap companies in my TFSA for more aggressive growth, a strategy I believe you endorse.
In this new reality, I am thinking of a more conservative approach and selling the above and converting to FTS, RY, XRE, SLF.
If things recover well I will get a great pop on the big caps without the individual company risk associated with the smaller caps. If things go poorly with the recovery, my large cap mix should drop a lot less than the smaller caps.
Also, any of the above smaller caps that you do not like.

Thanks
Rob

Q: I currently own Cott on the US exchange and my PA states that I need to decrease my consumer cyclical and need to increase healthcare .I curently own TMO and thought I would sell Cott and buy more TMO as my weight in TMO is not very high. I would have a capital gain on Cott that I have to pay but in the longer term do think this is a good move?
Thanks

Q: hi 5i team,

As a follow on to Joseph's question re high ROE companies (asked on February 22, 2019)...can you comment on Cott Corp (BCB) (was in the list of companies) recent results and on the company overall? I ask as their ROE number is 38 which seems pretty good. How are their other financial metrics?
Would you consider this now a growth company (given last years asset sales) or simply an income oriented company?
If you were to rate it, would it be a 'B' type company?

Thanks!
Steve

Q: Team,
Just like your thoughts on the listed stocks and which you would add ( in some order of preference) to an existing portfolio skewed to secure dividends and modest growth with a target 7-8% combined dividend and growth. Conversely is any one a definite NO.
Thx

Q: Cott reported today. In the past year it has traded as high as in the 20s and now around 15. I have a half position and they seem to be on track to achieve better growth and revenue in 2017. Would you endorse a full position? I like it also has a potential takeover target. They tried a few years ago but now they are a different company and possibly more attractive to the likes of pepsi or coke.
