Q: I would like your thoughts on CL. I have had it for three years and it has done nothing until recently, with a 2% div. I feel I should take my small gain and move on. If you agree, do you have better consumer stocks I should consider. Or should I just add to my COST and ATD holdings.

Q: Hi,
We own both Atd (3% position)and PKI (1% position). Which is the better company going forward? I am thinking about selling PKI and buying more Atd and maybe also adding to ENB(2% position) All these companies have had sizeable pull backs. Just trying to figure out what has the best potential going forward. No tax implications.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Hello, Would you have 4 top picks in either of these sectors (industrials, consumer staples, consumer discretionary or health care). I am looking for large caps trading on the TSX with good long term potential. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

In your replies to questions you sometimes refer to "sleep at night stocks". Those above were so qualified, among others.
I would very much appreciate if you could provide a good list of such stocks at this point, both Canadian and U.S., in order of potential growth in 5 years or less, with a short comment summarizing your present view on each.

Please use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hello,

Can I please get your view on Murphy Oil (MUR). Could this be the US version of Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD) into the future?

Thanks

Q: In consumer staples I currently own PBH and have for years in a registered account. Wondering if it's time to move on to either L or ATD. How would you compare these and which do you prefer? Thank you

Q: Can you please explain how support levels are determined. Reviewing comments from numerous web sites as well comment from BNN the support level for ATD is mid 60's and then watch out.
I have been a holder of ATD since 2016 and decided to sell the majority of my holdings because of current market conditions.
Just wondering if I jumped the gun on this one.
Your comments would be appreciated

Q: Several of these stalwarts have taken significant falls as of late. Are any of these compelling buys? Are any generational opportunities ? Can you rank which order you would be and add a level of conviction to each once (10 being a table poounding but)?

Thank you

Q: If you were expecting a bit of a market swoon and don't want to sit on cash what would you consider to be "defensive stocks" or "stocks that benefit" in downturns? I've tried options in the past with mixed (mostly not so good) results so that's not something I would like to do.

Thanks in advance-Dave

Q: Hi, ATD stock is considered as One of the Best compounders in Canada and is strongly liked at 5i, for a long term ownership. Shares dropped sharply today after soft results, due to lower fuel margins ( It was expected and analysts believe these margins could be volatile and turn any time ) and sequentially lower SSSG, caused by reduced foot traffic ( Inflation impacting purchasing power of consumers ).

Do you believe that above issues could be resolved over time and the sell-off is presenting a buying opportunity to accumulate more shares ?

Thank You
