Q: To re-balance my portfolio, I could use more consumer stocks. Currently I have Starbucks and Hanes Brands.
If Hanes Brands is considered Consumer Cyclical, I would would be looking for a Consumer Non-Cyclical. Would ATD.B a good choice with the recent pullback or would would you recommend something else. The stock would be purchased in my TFSA account.
For a Consumer Cyclical BRP is of interest but with yesterday's increase, should I wait for the next pullback or can you offer another alternative.
Thank you

Q: Gentlemen,
Another comment on ENB & ATD.b
NBF has a strong buy on ATD.b (the stock is a darling by most analysts).
EBN has 5 stars by MS and many analysts on BNN recommended it.
Disclosure, I have both manes on my PF
No one has a Crystal ball !!

Q: Have Couche Tard on my watch list for a market pullback, but in the back of my mind I'm a little concerned about the long term impact of the switch to electric and/or self driving vehicles. Do you have a sense how much of their revenue is tied to fuel and percentage of their stores tied to gas retail?

Should I be worried about technology disruption here? I tend to hold shares long term if possible.

Q: I can't add to my RIF, I can't put more than $5,500 in my TFSA annually, so my unregistered cash account is holding shares that will mean major capital gains. I have trimmed periodically, but currently ATD.B is up 1,068 %, SQ up 119%, NVDA up 324%, SHOP up 207%, BYD.UN up 118%. I am not complaining. I offer 5i my sincere thanks for your advice over several years that has been so rewarding. I tend to hold overly long , so I am wondering whether I should in future sell when a stock has reached, say 40%, and buy another stock? What to do?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
I am thinking of increasing my weight to 6 percent each for Enbridge and TransCanada to take advantage of the weakness in stock declines during this week. Overall, i am down on both names but expect to keep them for 3 to 5 years as the dividends are great. My covalon technologies position has gone up alot and am thinking of selling half. Lastly, Alimentation couche tard does not seem to be getting too much attention on the positive side as the stock is simply building a base in the low 60s. I would appreciate your opinion on the four stocks please. Thanks very much.

Q: My 20year old son has at least 2years of school left and has enough summer income and RESP to cover those years. He has been slowly building a portfolio that mirrors your balanced portfolio. With the take over of AVO his tech weightings are now 33% ( youth seems more comfortable with tech!). I am encouraging him to rebalance. Which do you think has the best 2+ year outlook. ATD.B, SLF, WSP or SJ on the recent pullback. Thank you for all your suggestions, this is a fun kind of “problem” to have!
