Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Hi 5i and team
I presently own WSP which ran up to 5% of holdings and SIS. I'm considering selling SIS and adding BYD.UN and or CAE. That move could bring me to 10% industrial. Should i trim WSP and keep industrial to a prefered percentage or Let it run which brings Me to my other question if allowed. I get confused with all sectors ie: cyclical, non cyclical, defensive etc...i would prefer having 7 if possible. I'd appreciate your thoughts with this.
Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Q: Hi, I need to increase my Industrial Sector a fair bit. I started with full positions in CNR, FTT and SIS. CNR has doubled but FTT and SIS are both down, SIS quite a bit.

I started with a half position in WSP and it's up a bit.

What would you do here to increase your Industrials

Thanks
Robert

Q: Hi Guys,

If one believes that the Canadian dollar is about to strengthen over the coming year, what are good ways to take advantage of that?

Am I correct in that my non-hedged ETFs such as VGRO and XAW would come under pressure? Are there any companies that would meaningfully benefit from a stronger Canadian dollar?

Q: Sis recently reported AGM vote results and there were significant witheld votes for the 3 Bourassa members of the board, and highest for Robert. At the same time, performance continues to be good (as you note in recent report update). However, your full report notes key person risk for the Bourassa's. What can you tell us that would explain the withheld votes? Is this a trouble signal?
