Q: Hi, Richards Packaging stock has been weak for several months and price decline has not abated, despite relatively decent results, recently. Could you assign the reasons for negative sentiment. Based on your last assessment, valuation seems to have come to down to a reasonable level, but stock does not show any traction. Is it worth holding for income - 2.75% dividend yield, or you see further downside risk (price) ? We are retired, with a large holding, about 6.5%, even after price deterioration, with an ACB of about $40. Thanks

Q: RPI and LWRK are both long-term holds for me, and have done well - particularly RPI (+500%) in spite of the recent slide. However, these were bought in part for their dividends, which have decreased on a percentage basis with the stock price gains. Both have also been rather weak lately, and I can easily get significantly higher dividends with other stocks. I am looking at selling one this year, and the other next year.

Could you comment on which has the least likelihood of a rebound, and should go first.

A further issue is that both are in a taxable account, and the sale of either will result in the complete clawback of OAS due to the capital gains. I have no offsetting loses at the moment. Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Thank-you

Q: What is the reason for CCL's anaemic performance over the last 4-5 years? What is your outlook on the company? How would you you view a switch to RPI or IFX in today's market environment?
Thanks

Q: I am more than happy with the long term performance of this company . However the last two quarterly reports issued by the company have been somewhat pessimistic regarding growth prospects as the economy recovers from the covid pandemic . Cash flow is good , and the company will be buying back shares . I wonder if the are now an acquisition target for a larger competitor . What are your thoughts -- are they a buy , sell or hold?

Q: I have had a good run in the past several years with RPI.UN but it seems to have floundered recently. Would you recommend a switch to TCL.A? If not, would you have a better choice?
