Q: Hi Team, My question is why Chartwell- CSH.UN is considered to be in the Real Estate/ Reit sector (in your company profiles) while Sienna Living - SIA is considered to be in the Health Care sector? I have always considered both to be in the Health Care/ Long Term Care business and hold sector % accordingly. Should I reallocate CSH.UN to my Real Estate sector? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter
the above stock hit bottom sometime in late or mid Dec
It has been on the rise since then
I had some money invested in it, happy to get the dividend but disappointed at the lack of capital appreciation
I am now at break even point
is SLF or the banks a better choice (I could use ZEB eft), goal is dividend plus some growth, thanks

Q: Your take on VB's results this morning... will it maintain a place in 5i's growth portfolio?
Q: Good morning,
It appears you have no concerns about the quarter and the stock is taking a 10% hit today. Assuming the growth story is still intact. Would today be a good day to add to our existing holding? We are 30% down on this stock and our weighting has now fallen to slightly below 1%? Is now a good buying opportunity?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: My RRSP - I was comparing Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF VOOG to Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO.
Warren Buffett is suggesting the index - so VOO, but VOOG Growth has performed better since inception with the same risk of 4 out of 5 - as defined by Vanguard.
VOOG has a higher turnover rate of it's stocks -at 17.6% vs 3% and it still outperformed after taxes on the higher turnover. It has 294 of the 508 stocks that VOO has.
Wondering your thoughts on one over the other. Since it is in an RRSP and I don't need the money for 25 years.

Q: Regarding sector weightings, I have developed a portfolio strategy based on your income and balanced portfolios augmented by other holdings. I have based the overall sector weightings from your recommendations adjusted for my own preferences. It would actually be helpful if you published monthly your weightings (with the obvious warning that investors' preferences my differ). I began moving away from financials and into REITS and Utilities early this year because of my belief in rates are not going much higher. I see you have done this too and it is comforting to know you may have he same idea. We do not have to agree, I just need all the information available to make investment decisions.
Q: In July 2018 you had a b+ rating, hoping for growth in AUM, and possible acquisitions, can you provide current scorecard on these points please? Opinion on sale of Mutual Fund business to Canoe and how that will effect previous points? Your report was accurate forecasting slow and steady and enjoy the dividend, suppose I'm bored and looking for a reason to not bail and look for more capital appreciation when markets are flying.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
We picked up a few shares of BNS on the drop yesterday. After searching for value stocks with a decent dividend we could not find a Utility, Telcom, or Financial stock that was not over-priced with the recent rise. ZUT or VPU also appear to be slightly over-priced for the moment.
If we are looking for value, dividend, and a little down-turn protection which stock is preferred; BCE or CM? Do you have another value stock in any sector that would be preferable to BCE or CM?
Thank you
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Any thoughts on Winpak’s earnings today? I have held this stock for almost 10 years and have done very well but am wondering if lack of growth is becoming an issue here?
Q: Good morning,
Regarding BNS earnings, can you share your thoughts? It has lagged and the drop yesterday wasnt massive but certainly contrasted BMO. What caused the earnings decline? Finally, would you be buying now or moving onto one of the banks with better momentum and performance?

Q: There appears to be a real hype for 5G preparedness. According to a chart Bloomberg presented, Nokia seems to be 2nd in line (after Huawei) to be equipped and ready to fill the demand. Would you concur? And would you consider the stock investable?
Thanks, Team!
