Q: Looking for a US stock with a good dividend. I'm 80 so a little volatility is okay. I'm willing to hold for 3 years. If you had to pick one of the three which one and why or do you have a better choice?
Thanks

Q: A member recently asked a question about PG and asked whether it might be wise to sell it. This is a perfect illustration of your often used adage that "for every seller there is a corresponding buyer". I hold PG and have also considered selling it because of its lack luster performance. But, in looking it over i see it is at pretty close to a five year low. But, its decision to reduce its products to the most prfitable ones seems like it might be just starting to kick in. Besides this there is a new activist investor appointed to the board. I am sure it would still not qualify for a growth stock but for a solid and steady dividend producer, it might just be an opportune time to buy. Would you be a buyer or a seller?

Q: Hello, since the beginning of the year Altria (MO) stock has decreased by more than 20% in value. Has the time come to let it go? Do you believe there is a possibility that Altria could get into the Marijuana / Cannabis business? In your opinion, what would be the best 3 or 4 alternatives to (MO) in the US non cyclical sector (consumer defensive sector) right now? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Greetings 5i,

I would like to ask your advice about my consumer non-cyclical holdings. I currently hold L at a little more than a half position. I am making an effort to increase my exposure to American stocks, and am considering adding a comparable position in PG. Given that L owns Shoppers Drug Mart, do you feel as if the addition of PG would create an unnecessary overlap? If so, is there another US non-cyclical option you might recommend??

I am 36 years old, conservative, and prefer-long term holds.

Thank you.

Q: Hello,

JNJ is considered a healthcare stock but PG is consumer goods. Doesn't a lot of their revenue come from similar product lines?
Is JNJ healthcare because they market directly to health professionals?

As always, thanks for the great service.

Cheers
Tony

Q: I'm holding about 5% of my investments in cash in a US dollar account and looking to invest in a blue chip dividend paying stock. Maybe one of the two above or another name you like. I'm 80 so dividend and low risk is what I would like to find.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Pepsi and Proctor and Gamble have both thaken about a four percent loss today. Pepsi took a loss yesterday, too, I believe because of sugar tax being imposed in certain cities. I am thinking about adding to my positions in these two on this drop. But, it seems to be a fairly large drop and I don't see any reason for it. I would, as usually, greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
thanks

Q: Hi, I know you've already answered a few questions on the exchange offered by PG but I'm still too obtuse to understand the ramifications.

Very simply, if I own 50 shares of PG and I tender them as part of the exchange, will I still own 50 shares of PG afterwards, plus the shares of the new spin-off, or will I only only shares in the new spin-off?

I have to provide instructions by September 28.

Thank you,

Q: This is a follow up to my September 20th question re Proctor and Gamble's offer re Galleria Company and beauty division spinoff. Can you explain the pro-rate allocation you mentioned. I was expecting $1.075 in Galleria Company stock in exchange for $1 of P & G stock. Is there a possibility of more, considering your comment on the majority of people tendering, due to the 7% discount. When you say "yes" to the offer were you also suggesting one would keep the Galleria stock, or simply flip it and go back into P & G.

Thanks

Paul

Q: Please give me your opinion on the following exchange offer I received in the mail today. P & G is offering to convert each dollar value of their common stock into $ 1.075 worth of Galleria Company stock. Galleria Company is then going to merge with a sub of Coty corporation called Green Acquisition Sub Inc. It will be called Galleria company and will be a sub of COTY. It appears the company is spinning off their beauty division.

Many Thanks

Paul

Hello 5i
I manage my adult son's RRSP. We have a 10% position in FNV that is up 320% from when he purchased it and have no intention of selling it at all.
We also have a 2% position in Goldcorp down 52% and a 2% position in Premier Gold down 56% from purchase.
We like all three companies and think they have good prospects. However we want to reduce the gold holdings a bit and wonder if we should just sell one of G or PG, or maybe sell both G and PG.
1. Which would you sell if you wanted to sell just one?
2. Would you advise selling both and just keeping the FNV?
Thank you..........Paul K
