Q: I am wondering how to proceed...SIS is held in a well balanced "balanced" portfolio and now it's weighting is 7.8% with 55% unrealized gain. (SIS position is held in TFSA). I'm wondering
which "rule" I follow now....reduce the weighting or let the winner run? How do I decide which one to follow for SIS? Or do I do a compromise and cut the weighting to 6% rather than 5%?

Q: Hello
I currently have a 20% gain on Rogers and was thinking of selling as I would like to use the funds to continue emulating the growth portfolio. With the funds from the sale I would buy a position in PUR and add to Savaria. Appreciate your comments. I have over a 5 year time horizon.
Thanks
Sal

Q: 2 question : So bomber has bounced a bit so time for me to suck it up and sell at a 30% loss. Sell now or hold off a few more days to see if it has some legs.

Once I sell BBD.b what full position of the balanced equity portfolio would you buy right now: ccl, gud, nfi, sis, sj, syz, t or toy? Currently rebalancing my CAD equity portfolio to loosely match your portfolio and those above fill gaps in my allocation. Open to off the list suggestions but already overweigh or OK in financials, energy and tech.

Q: I am wondering whether it is time for me to dump these two and put the money into something with a bit more of an uptrend. Am thinking of SIS for one. What's your opinion on the future trends of these three for the next 1 - 2 yrs?

Q: I honestly do not understand the rise, the p/e valuation of this company, this is no company reinventing what they do,nothing high tech, only providing a much needed product. I mean is there not someone else in north america that also provides these products and trades at a more reasonable valuation, or do they have the whole market all to themselves, if so,than it can go higher and higher,i guess. So my end question is this the #1 company in the Canadian & US Markets?

Q: Could you please comment on SIS movement in share price today.
What do you think of PHM's earnings they seem to be trending in the right direction. With the aging demographic are they finally getting it together trending in the right direction. So is it time to move in to the stock. However the shares are slightly down today. Is the negative influence of the original hustler owners not subsiding? Thank you for your great assistance.

Q: I am very pleased with performance of SIS. I have a double past 12 months.

Question is what other Canadian Companies will benefit from the aging of Canadians. I read that 10,000 Americans a day reach the age of 65 ( The Baby Boomers ) and this will continue for the next 18 years. That is a lot of people that will need some form of assistance. We must have similar demographics in Canada.

What U S Companies fall into this category as well as Canadian Companies Thanks very much. bob

Q: My wife and I just started out an resp for our 3 year old. We only have enough to start out with one position and are planing on adding a potion or two every year. We are ok with some risk at this stage. Can you recommend one or two stocks at his point in time with good potential over the next 5 to ten years? I was thinking GUD may be a good fit. You are the experts though.
