Q: My current portfolio is concentrated on 4 sectors of; Technology,Materials,Consumer/non-cyclical,and Industrial,total of 12 stocks mostly of your Balanced Portfolio.So far they are doing very well.
To balance my portfolio I want to add 7 new sectors : Real Estate,Financial,Healthcare, Energy,Utilities,Consumers Cyclical and Telecommunication,for holding term 2 to 3 years.

Please provide me with your current favorable choice of stocks for each of my 7 new sectors to buy now.

Q: I am overweight PBH (thanks 5i) and looking to sell half and purchase something else in the consumer sector. GIL looks like an interesting fit, however the risk associated with one customer having 18.2% share and no fixed contract seems a bit daunting. Do we know who this customer is - a retailer like Walmart or a wholesaler? Has thee been a long term association? Given the value of this customer to Gildan would they not put significant pressure on Gildan to reduce margins.
Thanks in advance for your answer and your excellent service

Q: All three of these companies were once market darlings that have fallen from their more favorable market days and are now attempting turnarounds. Do any of these companies appear to be a turnaround buy at their current levels? If not,and if they sit in one's portfolio, should they be ejected? if so, how would they rate from worst (eject 1st)to best (still hope, eject last).
Thanks!
