Q: I am a but overweight consumer staples and would like to sell either CCL.B or PBH to raise some cash for better opportunities elsewhere. Both are in a registered account so no tax implications. Which one would you sell at this time and why?

Q: If I am selling this loosing stock in my RIF Account for the purpose of generating cash for my mandatory withdrawal - can I immediately start a smaller weight in my cash account trusting that there will be upside in the future. I assume there are no tax consequences since it was in a registered account.

Thanks for your service

Q: I'm perplexed by these "defensive" stocks. Both are breaking down with the market. Shouldn't food and insurance companies fare better? They haven't and now I wonder when the market turns if growth companies will fare better and lead the market higher (eventually). So what's in store for these companies going forward? Throw in the towel and put into growth companies?

Q: Hi.

My portfolio analytics says I'm low on Consumer Defensive. Can you give me 1-2 Canadian stock suggestions and maybe 1-2 ETFs in the US and Canada.

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Could I have your thoughts on JWEL please? Do expansion opportunities into the US (purchase of Nutrawise) change your previous coolness on the stock at all?

Are there other stocks in the sector you prefer?

Q: Wow, it appears that there will be further, possibly much further decline in stock prices over the next while. That got me thinking/wondering about trimming of selling Canadian stock held in the TFSA....and these stocks are also held in a trading and registered account. Some, like ATZ and PBH are in the consumer discretionary sector, a sector that might be considered more risky in the current market setting. An others, like GSY that is the loan business, a subsector of the financial sector. And finally, there is industrials like TFII, and a US position in TT that also sells into Europe which is in turmoil. This is a sample of the holds that are still in a gain position. Would you consider trimming back to a more risk appropriate weighting, selling the ones in TFSA and avoid income tax or just hold and ride it out???....Thanks for your insight....Tom

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor....balanced portfolio. I have almost full positions in both PBH and PLC. If I was to top up only one of these, which one would you choose and why? It appears the analysts favor PLC as having more upside. This is TFSA money. Your opinion?
Thxs.

Q: I have partial positions in each, PBH at 2% and 1% in L. Which would you add to while I need to grow my Cons. Def. Would you sell L to buy more PBH or raise my position in L? I also own ATD and DOL. at full positions.
