Q: Hi, please comment on my method of transferring unwanted volatile stocks (nflx,vgt,itx,vmd) to safer div. options. I have placed 5% trailing sell orders with a 2% limit until sold or cancelled in order to capture more upside in this likely short bull rally.
Please suggest your best 5 core div. names in Canada, USA and international.
Please use appropriate number of question deductions.

Q: Hi 5I,
The above names are all owned in my TFSA. Of these, I am underweight in COV, IWO, PHO, SDX, SYZ AND VB. I've got some cash to put to work with a long term objective. With consideration to the sector weighting, and my under weights, would you recommend I top up on any at this time or maybe introduce a completely different name or names to the portfolio? Thanks!

Q: I have noticed recently that Aapl, Amzn, Brk, Googl and V that the daily share volume has been about 70 % of the 10 day volume and Shop and Sq have been at or higher than the 10 day volume ( the stocks mentioned are some companies in my portfolio). To me this means that the rise in share price does not have wide support and could fall soon.
Appreciate your comments on the support of the rally and are people hiding money in short term instruments until they can verify one way or the other the next direction of the market.

Q: Hi there, I'm looking to replicate your balanced equity portfolio with a few adjustments for a slightly higher tilt towards growth. I have a 2 part question: Would AQN be a suitable substitute for ENB for an investor? Also, what other more conservative names in your balanced equity portfolio would you swap out for higher growth names at this time?

Thanks!

Q: Hello there ,
Do you think Mark Leonard of CSU has ever thought of selling CSU and starting again? As Constellation gets larger and larger one would think their growth rate will slow. It might be a challenge to have the same success in the next 10 years as he has had in the last 10 years. I know he has identified tens of thousands of potential takeover targets, do you think it makes sense to sell CSU and start CSU part 2? A new company could be valued back at $25/share and one would think he could double to $50 quickly and again to $100 starting from scratch quicker than $1000 to $2000? So many more deals need to be made now and much larger deals potentially to move the needle. Thoughts?
Thank-you

Q: Hi there, I own both TSGI and GC in a well diversified portfolio. I'm up 12% on GC, but down 50% on TSGI. I don't mind holding if there is still good potential, but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there with better short term recovery potential while I wait for things to turn in Star's favour. I'm risk tolerant and any size or sector is fine.

Q: My materials sector(RRSP,TFSA) has CCL.B at 5% and MX at 2%. I am considering taking profit from CCL.B(approx. 1.5%) at this time and moving it to MX but acknowledge that I would not be trimming sector allocation to 5%. What would your recommendations be for both the short term and long term?
