Q: I have 5 positions in my TFSA and am looking to add 2 more to better balance my portfolio with a long term time horizon (20+ years). I currently have ENB, CSU, SLF, TRI, and ATD.B. Could you give me 3 or 4 companies that would be appropriate to add at this time?

Q: Do you have any sense of what the intensity of a dividend cut would be? Cardinal certainly got hammered when they last cut, but that cut was widely unexpected. In other cases a cut almost seems to give people 'permission' to start buying again, as they've got the expected cut out of the way. Where do you think VET would lie on this continuum?

Q: greetings,

Looking to trim a few overweight positions including Cummins. However this one continues to do well so i am a little reluctant to move on it. It is a 6% of my US portfolio and i usually like to keep positions at 4%. Do you think its funadamentals deserve a bit more time to run?

Thanks

Q: I have to express my concern regarding your response to Dave re: COV on 7/29. The comment that you take a "Portfolio Approach" and 5I "will not enter into debates on individual stocks" is the issue. My concern here is that I do not buy ALL of the stocks in a particular portfolio but do own many of them. By the sheer presence of a stock in a 5I portfolio suggests to me that you approve of the stock and are recommending it. I have held onto stocks far too long because it was retained in the portfolio. I consider if a stock remains in one of your portfolios it is a "Hold" recommendation from 5I. Am I wrong?
