Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold BYD as a representative company of the Consumer Discretionary sector. I am looking to add another one in the same field.

Can you provide a list of companies in Consumer Discretionary that you like in order of preference?

Thank you

Q: The CRA just charged me 50% of the value of my SDX shares (which aren’t really worth that much )because they apparently aren’t on the TSX anymore and I hold them in an RRSP.
Please tell me that the same thing isn’t going to happen with the TSGI shares when the deal goes through with Flutter.
Thanks
Randy

Q: Hi,
I have less than 3% of my portfolio invested in this stock. Is this a good time to add more?
The split date has yet to be announced. What could be the delay and is there any likelihood that the split could be cancelled?
Thanks again for your advice.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Yikes! Sure didn't see their dividend cut coming!

If one wanted to sell Gildan, what would you replace it with:
(a) in the same sector?
(b) in any sector? (in an otherwise balanced portfolio)

Thanks for your guidance in such turbulent times.

Q: I have a 5.5% weighting in my portfolio. About 130% gain in a non-registered account. The economy is ground to a halt abruptly probably for quite a few months if not years. I wonder if it is a good time to trim down, bite the bullet and pay the capital gains tax at the high marginal tax rate and buy back to full position when it reaches the bottom? or grin and bear some near term volatility, stick with it for the long term as the economy will be back in a year or two?
