Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Darren Sissons, in a recent BNN "Top Picks" segment wrote an interesting few paragraphs in which he attempted to debunk some common 'opinions': "Telcos, pipelines, consumer staples and consumer discretionary are now inferior investments. (NOT TRUE, in his opinion) For fresh capital, the yields in these sectors are now actually becoming increasingly attractive. The broader issue is these segments have been over-owned since the global financial crisis and the recent underperformance is skewing their longer-term performance. For fresh capital, these segments offer an attractive risk-adjusted total return looking forward, in addition to protection against market corrections.

If you agree with his thesis, what stocks (in particular, from ones that you cover) in telcos, pipelines, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary would be most attractive at this time?

Thanks for your valued insight.

Q: Good afternoon,

I have enough money to add a 5% position in one of the above companies. I know you like them all. Is there a particular one that jumps out at you at today's levels that you may consider a buy above the others? Growth being the main consideration, to be held inside a TFSA. Thanks for the great service. - Jeff

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
What do you think of Cannibix as a speculative play? Also, are you aware of companies that do breathalyzers for alcohol so that i can get an idea if the concept will take off from a market potential? Any idea why Aurora keeps going up while Cannimed is stagnant at 19-20 range when the offer is at 24? The results for Couche Tard were good. I would have expected a surge in the stock but it closed only a percentage higher. Was there anything in the news that may have tempered the stock price? Thanks very much.
