Q: What should I do?....For some years, I have held TOU and SGY as energy sector positions in a well diversified balance portfolio. Both down 49% and 57%. Now wondering, is it time for me to take action to reduce or just sell all, given recent price movement up but not likely crude price going considerable higher than now, aka 70$. What say you?........Tom

Q: If you had to decide between purchasing Stars Group or Covalon for a long terms hold (10 + years), which would you buy for maximum growth? If I were to ask about stability, would your answer change?

Q: GS reported earnings yesterday. If I understand the report correctly, the quarterly earnings do not appear to cover the quarterly dividend. Plus, a special dividend is being paid. Can you please discuss/ explain the report and advise whether, in your opinion, the situation is sustainable? Thank you kindly in advance for your reply. Following these results would you continue to prefer FSZ over GS?

Q: Could you comment on XEF as the sole holding for non-N.American exposure, and what would you consider the maximum holding as a percent of total portfolio? Are there any other ETFs that you prefer for this purpose?
Thank-you

Q: I bought equal positions of SIS and CCL.B, which are in your balanced portfolio August 2017. Since then SIS is up 24% and CCL.B is up 12%. It seems that there is a lot more growth potential in SIS, so therefore I am considering selling CCL.B and adding proceeds to SIS. Would you agree with this trade? Or would you recommend another stock to add to with my CCL.B proceeds for better growth and momentum?

Q: Looking to add a couple of different stocks to my TFSA. Based on your article in the FP, thinking of these as possibilities, but I have 28% in my IT already. I have 11% to invest after having sold TOY and ATD.B.
