Q: Am doing a tiny bit of portfolio rebalancing. What would be your best name, to buy today, for growth and dividend, in Consumer Defensive, other than Alimentation Couche-Tard?

In terms of asset allocation overall, I see that the TMX rates BAM.A as Real Estate, and yet I'm sure you've noted in this Q & A section that you would classify it under Financials. (Did I dream this, because I can't find the answer anywhere?) If it's listed under financials, which presently sits at 10.88%, by adding BAM under this sector, would move me to 18.1% in financials. Overall, I'm quite happy with these allocations, but was wondering if I should add anything to Real Esate -- or does BAM.A act as a good cross over for both.

Please feel free to deduct two questions, as they are separate equities -- but it just seemed silly to send in two different questions.

Thanks, as always, for your advice.

Q: Good morning Peter & all.
What is your take on Mogo Finance Technology Inc (GO).
It has not stopped declining ever since its IPO late last month... Where do you see it bottoming?
Is the decline company specific or related to the greater issues in the market?
Thank you.

Q: Looking to buy as a long term hold for income. Is the distribution sustainable and is there value in this REIT for a long term income investor. Share price keeps dropping even after a merger that makes the company stronger. Don't understand why shareholders are heading for the door? Are there management issues here or something I am not seeing. Looks like a good value/income play? Your thoughts on this stock would be appreciated.

The company seems to be doing everything right,is well managed has a solid balance sheet and will be producing 40% more gold this fall or early 2016?

Q: Just curious on your opinion on the quarter reported today. Hold a small weighting in the Canadian consumer space and thinking to add to this position. Also, could you help clarify for me what the tax provision ruling was that dragged down net profit? Other than this it seemed like a strong quarter? Is this a canary in the coal mine?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I am very pleased with my 8.6% portfolio performance in the first half of 2015; this performance continues the trend of 17%total return per annum for the past 6 years.
However, my exposure to the industrial / infrastructure/ transportation sector is quite narrow with only BIN, BIP.UN and CNR; I also hold LNR and MG but I have placed them under Consumer discretionary.
Could you please suggest a few names to fit in that category?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Please compare AFN with AGU. My tendency would be to side with AGU based on its size and more favorable stock performance but I see you have some positive comments on AFN.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: I manage my wife's RRSP account and in it holds MKP, which is down 20% as of today (imagine the complaints)! Should I continue to hold and hope for a eventual recovery, or just cut my losses now?

I know the 7%+ return at my entry cost is enticing then, but it's more like "golden handcuffs" at this stage. Dead money is dead money.

Any advice here? Thanks.
