Q: Hi there,
I am an investor who generally does not like single company risk so i often end up with small groupings of stocks in the same line of business. Hence I owned these three in the packaging business for a fairly long period of time and done well in all three. Can you explain to me which of these business is likely to do better going forward and if you had to drop one which would it be. (i am thinking Winpak)

Thanks for all you do.

Q: Which packaging manufacturer has the best ability to transition away from plastics into recycled and/or paper based packaging? As TCL reinvents itself as a flexible packaging producer (Coveris acquisition) do you see this, or have you heard this discussed by management?

Q: If we expect a trend towards more internet/online shopping (eg. Amazon), is there an investing opportunity in companies that provide packaging for this type of service? Personally, as I've used more online shopping, I've used Canada Post/UPS/FedEx significantly more, and I've been recycling a lot of cardboard boxes. Would CCL.B or WPK have any positive exposure to this type of trend? Any other companies that would?

Q: Have done some tax loss selling and could do some more. Have losses in both CRH and WPK. Don't need the $ however could deploy elsewhere if freed up, and use loss to offset some 2017 gains. Any indicators to say which one may stage a decent recovery sooner than the other?

Q: Reviewing my portfolio at this time of year,i have decided to take a more defensive approach for 2018.I have recently purchased a couple of gold stocks(aem & lk).I am unsure if gold still has the downside protection for a portfolio that it used to.
Also with the expected interest rate increases will dividend paying large caps have the desired benefit of portfolio protection?
Do you have any suggestions on some debt free dividend paying companies that will do well in a flat or slightly down market.I don't care if they are small,medium or large cap companies!
