Q: Hi gang
In an answer today.. saying that Consumer Cyclicals are better choice over Staples at this juncture ..you mention DOL and DG as good choices to consider. But in your cover reports you say they are both Defensive. Is Defensive not the same as Staples?
Thanks for all you do...would be lost without you.

Q: Hello Team,

Currently own ECN, down 15% on this one. I have been eyeing BMO for awhile now. Comparing BMO on a one year chart it lags and dropped the most from the other big banks, down roughly 35%. However, at roughly 68$ isn't it an attractive entry point?

Can you please explain why BMO lags? And second, would switching ECN to BMO be a good move or simply stick with ecn?

Thank you and have a good day!

Q: I own ING and has been disappointing. Was considering moving it "in kind" from my margin account to my RRSP account. was wondering if this would allow me to take a tax loss on it, or would I have to sell it outright and repurchase it in the RRSP. You have any recommendations on it?

Q: I currently own both these 2 stocks for a 4% weight and have done well so far. I was wondering if I should sell 1 % of each and then buy MFST for a 2% weight. What do you think the comfortable weight of these 2 stocks should be? What % would you hold in a portfolio if 5i had a US portfolio? Do you feel that there is a better US stock than MFST for purchase at this time for a retired person?
Thanks

Q: I do not own any gold or precious metals; I feel like buying anything now would be closing the gate after the horse left the barn; your view? I would have to sell something to make funds available; most likely prospects is one of the 3 banks I hold ; those 3 represent about 8.5 % of my equity holdings. Or would I be better off to just keep the banks?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Do you know of a website where one can have a comprehensive list of all aftermarket stock prices. My interest would be seeing companies with bigger post earnings price declines, for a quick trade.
Thank you

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this company for a number of down years. At this point I am up about 50% which seems like a miracle. I am always reluctant to sell a winner...let them run! However I am trying to be smarter this time. Do you think it would be safer to sell this gold company now that I have a profit and buy another safer gold in the sector. I am worried that this company may have more risk factors than others. Your assessment of HMY please...does my rational have any merit? Thanks again...your opinions are always a reality check!
