Q: Hello,
I have owned stpl for years as a sector based diversification strategy but feel it has had disappointing returns, even for that sector noting that there are some great breakout picks in the staples sector.
Could you please advise if you think it is a reasonable choice for the staples sector versus specific picks?
I realize that you typically recommend dol as well as wmt, cost and pg. just wondering what you think are good long term picks at this time given significant movement in these in the last couple of years.

Q: This stock looks like it has a best before date and it has expired. What a dog for the last year return. Holding cash and shopping at Costco gives you a better return. What will turn this company around?

Q: For more defensive US stocks (I.e. non tech) how would you rank the long term performance of the following CL, Cost, HD, MCD, SYK and URI. I have all of these, but I am not happy with the performance of CL nor MCD and I am thinking of selling them and upping my positions in the others. I am not worried about being concentrated in too few stocks, as I have the opposite problem.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Costco has been treading down from its high. What is the reason for this? Is this a good time to purchase or wait? What would be a good entry price? Thank you for your great service.

Q: In your answer to a recent question from Tim about how to prepare for an inevitable market correction, you suggested holding stocks in defensive areas of Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Healthcare, Can you pls provide 5-6 names in each of those areas that you would want to hold. A mix of Cdn and US would be great. Thank you for your excellent service.
