Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and Team

I need to raise some cash and would like to know how you would rank these stocks from "sell first" to "sell last":

BLX 1.07%
BNS 1.9%
KXS 1.35%
NFI 0.81%
PBH 1.7%
SIS 2.22%
SYZ 0.94%
TFII 0.58%

I am underwater on all of these. The number following each symbol is the stock's weighting.

Thanks for your assistance.

Q: With the general pounding the markets took in October, the glass half full sees opportunity. My portfolio is particularly light in Materials, Telecom and Utilities, and I'm looking to top up in a registered account. What companies look attractive to you today based on undue overselling?

Q: Hello, I am a young retiree in my sixties I have a portfolio focused on growth while promoting dividends. I would like to add to the titles mentioned so that they reach 5% of the portfolio. Could you place them in order of preference according to these criteria with a horizon of 3 to 5 years. Feel free to suggest reducing or eliminate any of them to free some cash to add to others. Thank you

Q: Having sold both of these in the past couple of weeks, I was going to repurchase them in 30 days, but don't think I will. They both seem to be income type of stocks and I would prefer some growth. Can you recommend any stocks with better growth in these sectors or perhaps I just keep away from certain sectors as your balanced portfolio does.

Q: Hello 5i,
I have a question which I don't know if it falls in your domain. But, i will try it. I have been thinking about gradually switching my utilities sector towards renewable energy. Currently I hold Algonquin and Emera which I will want to keep. { I know Emera is not on the renewals side, but i have a large cap gain and I don't want to pay the tax. There are other reasons to keep it, too}. Then, I have Enb and transcanada, which I would plan to sell if they come back a bit. I currently have about 9% in utilities where I think you recommend 15 for a retired person; but I am ok with that and am overweight technology and industrials. could you suggest a name or some names which would round out in a balanced way such a sector allocation?
thanks as always for the great service
