Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello all.
Looks like GS has worked out ok for recent purchasers.
Given this:
"The Gluskin Sheff board of directors, after consultation with its financial and legal advisers, has unanimously approved the transaction and determined that it is in the best interests of Gluskin Sheff, and unanimously recommends that Gluskin Sheff shareholders vote in favour of the transaction." I would expect low likelihood of a competing offer- your thoughts?

Also wondering if you can recommend another pick, (in any industry), with similar qualities, especially a significant and solid dividend.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
I've just become a member of 5i Research so trying to determine a few stocks to start buying into. TOY has always intrigued me and based on the recent weakness and your answers to recent questions on the company seems good for new money for a long term horizon. What other 2-3 names would you consider for new money. 3 year term horizon, don't mind short term volatility. Thanks

Q: Hi 5I,
The above names are all owned in my TFSA. Of these, I am underweight in COV, IWO, PHO, SDX, SYZ AND VB. I've got some cash to put to work with a long term objective. With consideration to the sector weighting, and my under weights, would you recommend I top up on any at this time or maybe introduce a completely different name or names to the portfolio? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm looking to increase my current Financial Sector weighting from 5 to 15%. I currently hold BNS @ 2.2%, SLF @ 1.5%, and GSY @ 1.3%. What would you add too and/or too a new position? I don't like to have more than 5-6% of one holding, of course this would be risk adjusted down according to market cap/safety.

Last part, on sector weightings. I follow your general recommendation and I noticed you changed the following from Oct'18 to Jan'19 as follows:
Consumer disc. 10 up to 15,
Consumer staples 10 down to 5,
InfoTech 20 down to 15, and
Utilities 5 up to 10.

Can you add some commentary behind these sector weight changes?

Thanks, Chris.
