Q: Hi,
In respect to the question from Brad in regards to small caps, you responded as:

"We have seen some studies showing the group is cheap (relatively) than it has been in 10 years. The 4Q is often good for the sector.

Could you name 3 to 5 small cap stocks that you would recommend?
Thanks,

Q: I have a non-registered account which is invested in roughly equal weights of 13 Canadian blue chip dividend payers (NTR, RY, BNS, TCL.A, T, BCE, SLF, QSR, ENB, FTS, LNF, BEPC, AQN) and CPD. I am in the process of re-organizing it a bit and have some additional cash to invest.

I have tinkered with SYZ, FSZ and LIF in this account and none of these quite fit the profile I'm going for (steady eddies thru next economic cycle, decent and reliable dividend).

Over the last year or so, I have been tweaking this account to get it to the point where it will be very low (or no) maintenance. Game plan is to drip for another few years, then start to take the dividend in cash to live off. Capital preservation and dividend reliability are obviously key.

Looking for some guidance on choosing 2 or 3 additional holdings from the following list:
EIF (nice div, needed industrial exposure)
AW.UN or ZRE (are these OK in an open account?)
CVD or XHY (some fixed income to smooth out any upcoming lumps) or other fixed income idea.

Do CPD, CVD, XHY make sense now with tapering about to begin in the US?
All comments about this strategy and my stock selections are most welcome.

Several questions here - please take several credits


Thanks in advance,

Jim

Q: Hi Folks,
In my non-registered account I hold: ATZ,NVDA,LSPD,TOI,KXS for growth and some blue chippers as well - I would like to add NVEI and possibly sell KXS or would you suggest I just add NVEI - is there more room for NVEI to grow in price
Thanks

Q: I still think there is big potential for this stock, yet it still is not doing well. Despite their "Planned Innovations to Ignite the Next Era of Communications" which looks forward thinking to me, the market just doesn't seem interested.
Do you think it is still about, "Shares rotating from pandemic holders to longer term positions"? In your experience can you see this falling below $270-$250?

Thanks as always

Q: Hi team,
Just looking for any new thoughts on Med? Any idea why it’s been weak lately? I don’t understand why this one is being sold off so aggressively after beating estimates last quarter, and you would think the “healthy living “ aspect of the company would be a strong trend right now ? I am -21% on it after today . Is it time to sell or hold? If sell , is there anything in particular you would deem a much better buy right now with the funds ? I hold this in a US cash account so if I was replacing it with something I would prefer it to be US listed . I am typically a long term holder , unless the story changes or there’s a much better opportunity that comes along .
Thanks

Shane
