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: Constellation Brands released their 3rd quarter results today and stock dropped about 3%, as company moderated its full year expectations to the lower end of forecast. Overall profit was higher, though. What do you think of the results and the company for a small investment, as a part of sector allocation ( and US Equity exposure) for long term ? I have been thinking about it for a while, but never got an opportunity. Thanks

Q: In the true spirit of the holidays I would appreciate your opinion on the three wine/spirit companies that have done very well over the last year. What is your top pick? Or should I just buy smaller holdings of each?

Q: Hi 5i,
Suppose the US moves into more significant inflation and begins to battle the strength of its own dollar. So rates ‘normalize’ but inflation goes ‘above target.’ I am thinking about how to adjust one’s portfolio for that environment. I guess gold and real return bonds (and TIPS) may be obvious inclusions but I am wondering about equities in general and what kind of equities, if any, can actually do well in an ‘above target’ inflation environment. How would you increase/decrease sector weightings? Could you identify a stock or two in some specific sectors that you think would be good to own in that picture? Is this topic something you’d consider blogging about at some point? Thanks!

Q: I guess I wasn't clear in my last question. Would you please rate these companies as to which would be your first choice, second choice , etc. for a 5 year investment and purchasing today. I have no US exposure but otherwise have a relatively balanced Cdn portfolio and need to deploy US$100,000. Please explain why you rated them as you did. thank you. This was the prior question: What do you think of Int'l FLavours and Fragrances and their latest quarterly results? How would you rate it relative to HD.us, PBH.us and STZ.us for a 5 year investment? Thank you.
