Q: I have CCL.B in a few of my portfolios; do you think its time to sell and replace? I allocate 50% of CCL.B to Consumer Staples and 50% to Materials. Right now CAE is the only Material security that interests me, are there others that you would recommend, I don't want MX. I have PBH and ATD.B in Consumer Staples and could add to either of these or are there others that I should consider. I'm a buy and hold type of investor; with a growth focus.

Q: Gey Guys,

I basically follow your balance portfolio and the stocks that I hold are between 2% to 6 %. Does it make sense in these unsure days to lower everything down to 3% and hold more cash?
Thanks
Jim

Q: Would you add to 1/2 position of BYD and/or ATD.B to bring them to a full position? Would you add to just one or would you add to both, if so, would you wait or just buy now?
Thanks for your service

Q: I have held SIS for about 2 years now and down 28% - I am looking at selling SIS and replacing it with FSZ - has a nice 7.50% dividend growing at about 5% a year. Can I have your opinion on SIS and whether it's worth holding, hoping that it recovers and can I have your opinion on FSZ as a replacement. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: I've dug back in your past Q&A on this stock. I see you mention that this company has a high debt load. From what I gather, debt : capital is in the 55% range if I'm reading the figures correctly. Do you consider this high / worrisome? Is there a different metric you use that raises a concern.
I know this is a cyclical stock and am not planning to buy today, but want to put this info in my back pocket for a future purchase if the company is on solid ground.

For what it's worth, I agree with Kyle's comment yesterday about "Free Markets" (or lack thereof). With markets close to record highs and low interest rates robbing retirees of income from interest-bearing investments, do Central Banks feel they have an obligation to continually goose the market, or at least put a floor under it? Debt just keeps climbing at all levels. Will be interesting (scary?) when the music stops.

Q: Hi, TRZ fell nearly to $14 last week, even if the Air Canada $18 offer has been approved (except for government). I do not think that AC could walk out of the deal or change the conditions of the offer because of the changing market or economy. The investors do not believe this will be approved ? You mentioned before a 55% probability- is this still your number? Many thanks.
