Q: Hi, I am planning to initiate a position in AW-UN.TO, it has gone down approx. 10% in the last month. My expectation is to get an average annual return between 6-9% in the next 5 years. Do you think it is realistic ?
Do you think it's current valuation is interesting for a 5 years holding period ? Any other advice/comments on AW-UN.TO would be appreciate.

Thank you,

Q: Hi 5i,
Hold the above companies in my TFSA ($30,000). % holdings around 10% for each, except CAE, OSS TRI, AD which are 3% - 5%.

Looking to deploy $5,000. Looking at d-un, dir-un, Telus & Fortis.

Safety and Income preferred, as in mid 60's. I would certainly welcome any other suggestions.

Thank You.

Q: Hi, since the time insiders sold their shares at $44.65, few months ago, stock has n't recovered and continues to drift lower, trading at $40 level now, down from the high of $47 touched earlier during the year. Recent quarter was also good and company raised the dividend, but it did n't help the share price. We bought at $44 after secondary was announced, with the objectives of decent income and some growth. Do you see any catalyst to the shares in near term and is it worth to continue to own ? Thanks

Q: Which would you choose to add a conservative nature to a senior's portfolio, AQN or AW.UN.ca and why? I note AQN is not in any model portfolio and yet its performance seems better than that of AW.UN and with less volatility.

Q: Dear 5i,

I am finally re-balancing some of my portfolio by selling some of my Canadian bank stocks (where I was seriously over weighed). The cash will be reinvested to fill 3 Canadian industry holes I need to fill. From most to least deficits are Consumer Defensive, Consumer Cyclical, and Basic Materials. The only stock I currently own that matches any of those 3 categories is AW.UN. Could you please suggest some quality Canadian stocks to buy to fill each of those 3 holes ? I am a 53 year old conservative investor trying to balance dividend and some growth for long term in stocks that have the brightest futures. I really appreciate your wisdom.

Q: I have held both of these stocks for over 5 years. A&W has done well , but not Boston Pizza, I'm about 15% down of the purchase price of BPF. Do enjoy the high dividend of BPF. Both are held in a RRSP account. They are 2.25% and 1.40% of the portfolio. Trying to decide if I should sell Boston Pizza and add to A&W. or move to another stock for growth. I like to buy and hold. Any thoughts would be helpful
