Q: I own these three stocks and for consolidation reasons was thinking of selling one, but only if it makes sense. In terms of your confidence level in these companies, is there a clear ranking of them or are all three of them pretty solid with equivalent long-term growth opportunities?

Q: This has now been around for a couple of years, and I was wondering if your initial comments could be updated to include your evaluation of how they have fared. In particular, are there any "red flags" that appear?
Thanks! ... Paul K

Q: I bought BCE and ENB at the wrong time and down around 13% on each. I had bought them as what I thought were "safe-ish" holdings that pay a nice dividend while I wait for other opportunities. Dumb move in hindsight.
Should I bite the bullet and move on or do you see a rebound in the next few months?
They are in a margin account so I would benefit from the tax loss if I sell.
Thanks

Q: Not looking for a full-on accounting lesson here, but can you explain why some CEOs would emphasize cash flow over earnings? Is cash flow a better metric than earnings for all companies or just some?

Q: Hi- retired investor.
Bought these a while back for fixed income and am down 8% and 10% respectively. Could you explain why these have decreased while bond yields have increased?
Should I dump these and just convert to a 5% GIC or is there a light in view?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Above mentioned stocks I hold as a small percentage of my portfolio. Of course I am down now! However I have been using covered call strategy to "get paid whilst I wait"! So, I am happy to hold them for a few years.
The question I have is this. Are these good companies to hold for a few years? If not, would you suggest any alternatives? I see from your answers that you like FTNT/CRWD,PANW.

Thank you for your answer.
Mano.

Q: I identified 9 companies that out performed the TSX 60 plus 3 energy companies that I believe have a bright future. All 12 failed the MACD. 5 are trading at double digit discounts to their 52 week highs; dsg,shop,l,tou and cve. P/E range from 85 to 6 etc, etc. Please pick your diversified top 6 for a 5 year hold, with consistent profitability, no crazy volatility and suggest a great entry price. Thank you
