Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My first question as a rather new subscriber! I am 7 y into RRIF withdrawals so wish mostly dividend stocks in this portfolio. I have held EXE since May, 2015 and am now barely $1300 above (all in dividends and share value) as of today. I have read your comments about "quality trade off" and "weak hold for income"with regards to holding EXE instead of SIA and / or CSH.UN. You have commented that EXE debt is about 10 times cash flow. Could you give me similar information about SIA and CSH.UN please. I am about ready to sell EXE for positions in both or either of SIA and CSH.UN (in spite of them having lower dividends and earnings per share and higher P/E). Comments appreciated.

Q: Sdx announced today that they plan to delist from the TSXV and only stay listed on the LSE AIM. What does this mean for Canadian investors? Can I trade my shares after the transfer? If so how? Any advice would be appreciated. I am really disappointed in this announcement. Should I cut my losses and run?

Regards,

Brendan

Currently I m siting on a cash CAD$ 550 K . My entire portfolio was 65% CAD. stocks from your B.P. (7 stocks) and 35% US stocks (6 stocks).
I have not invested in materials ,energy & healthcare.
I had good growth with my selection in portfolio and now I want to start to buy back all my previous selection from my portfolio.

Thanks Andrew

Q: I currently hold a somewhat diverse 'long-term holdings' portfolio (PKI, FN, AEM, ENB, ATD.B, TD, BCE, CNQ, RY, ALA, ITP, TOY, and small DF). After topping up my TFSA and putting a bit of cash into my RSP, I'm looking to add two more names.

At first I considered adding BAM.A and TRI as they seem to be two names that keep popping up at 5i, but am hesitant primarily because that would probably put me overweight on financials, and secondly because I'm comfortable taking on some risk and I suspect BAM.A is a 'lower risk' name.

Thoughts on TRI and BAM.A, or any other names, that you think should be included in a "growth" (as opposed to income) portfolio?
