Q: I am wondering which two from the list above I should add. I am a long term investor who typically buys and holds for 5-10 years or longer (basically until the fundamentals change). I am 40 years old with a 70/30 stocks/bonds split and I hold emerging markets etc. in the recommended amounts. I am just looking to add two high quality names for the long term here to add to my existing equity portion. Thanks.

Q: Hello Gentleman

I presently hold a half position in MG in my cash account. While recognizing it is a good holding, it seems to be rather flat of late. I am considering selling MG and replacing it with BYD.UN.

I am a conservative investor with a well-balanced portfolio. Your thoughts please.

Thanks.

Q: They report next week, how good are they at beating expectations ?
When stocks miss they go down sometimes 15-20%. When they beat, they go up only 3-5 %, so I am tempting to sell before results going forward, and buy back according to results, good or bad idea ?
thanks

Q: I hold two rate-reset preferred stocks in my diversified portfolio - Pembina Pref and Brookfield Office Pref. When thinking about sector allocation, would you suggest I exclude these two stocks (as essentially fixed income), or should I include Pembina in my Utility sector weighting, and Brookfield Office in my Real Estate sector weighting? Thank you for your input. Edward
