Q: Hi 5i
I seem to be really lacking in the Industrial sector. Do you have a few good suggestions to look at. I do like dividends.
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I have a fairly heavy weighting of SIS that is about break even. I'm tiring of waiting for it and wonder what your advice would be on selling SIS to establish 3 equal weighted positions in VRTX, EXAS and ISRG? My thinking is I like the medical exposure and they are nicely diversified. Do you like this move and would you choose these 3 companies or suggest an alternative?

Thanks

Q: I currently hold TFII in my portfolio and am considering a switch to SIS for a long term hold. Which of the these two look best over the next 2 or 3 years to you? Is it worth a change?

Q: I have two small positions in CSH.UN (1.3%) and SIS (1.0%), and I wanted to consolidate the invested capital into one holding. I consider them both to be investments within the healthcare space, which is part of the reason for consolidating these two holdings. I am strongly leaning towards selling CSH.UN and buying more SIS. Does this sound reasonable, or is there another option worth considering?

Q: Why is NFI considered a Consumer Cyclical and SIS considered an Industrial? I might almost see them the other way around since consumer purchases of SIS's products would seem somewhat cyclical according to the propensity of individuals to make major commitments to their lines of products. Purchases of NFI's products would be driven by municipal budgets which might be more stable in good and bad times.

Q: Hi folks
I sold SIS at a loss in my non registered account. However I also own it in my TFSA and my RRIF at a gain. Does this make my loss null and void? I may buy it back in my non registered in 30 days. Also you had mentioned that you would like to see SIS break at $14.15... But is it good to buy now (if I decide to add to my TFSA holding).? Or would that also break the 30 day rule?
Thank you again for a good year.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife needs to convert her RRSP to a RRIF. She presently holds BAD (still up 82%) and SIS (presently down 17%). We're considering selling BAD and buying more SIS in order to reduce the number of holdings and to be able to replace a stock that appears to be on a downward trajectory (BAD) with one that seems to have gained momentum (SIS). Please comment on this strategy, and thanks in advance.

Q: Between Nov 15 and Nov 18, one director sold 41000 shares of SIS , reducing his holding in his personal account to 76500 shares. proceeds $592000. He also divested 23667 shares from an account in which he has indirect ownership, eliminating this account position, proceeds $341000. Does it mean he has no confidence in this company? Could I have your comments please. Thanks a lot
