Q: I am looking to by Loblaw in my SDRSP and DBOX in my TFSA. I'm wondering whether I should purchase tomorrow or wait until after the election as I understand markets usually decline after a US election. Also, WRT DBOX should I invest in ZCL in the meantime and wait on DBO? It seems DBO has remained stagnant for a while. Does it need some positive news to move?

Q: I am somewhat concerned about the negative momentum for the last couple of months. I understand there are concerns about food cost deflation and perhaps the ongoing price competition investigation. I also know that you like Loblaw because of the Shoppers earnings growth potential. Should I continue to hold or should I sell. I purchased at $72.00 today down to $66.00. Is there more downside to the stock going forward or do you see this as just a temporary set back and perhaps cycle rotation? Besides Loblaw, I own Premium Brands in the same sector and have done very well with it.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi , I am contemplating a position in Loblaw
My understanding is the pullback in the sector is based of food price deflation (?) Can you clarify how this effects the sector , or correct me if that is not the reason .

Q: According to the RBC Direct Investing data base MRU has a lower p/e, higher roe, lower debt to capital, higher net profit ratio, larger sales growth and a better 3 year stock performance { 50% vs 100% }. Why do you favor L so much? Thank you.
Q: In view of the effect on the market of the unknowns coming up in the next few months - with US election and its aftermath, and good possibility of US bankrate going up in Dec. I am thinking of going defensive. I have quite a few of the stocks listed in both your Balanced and Income portfolios, could you please list for me which of these stocks you would designate as best 'defensive' - (whatever that means). Thanks again, always look forward to hearing your comments.
Q: Hi Loblaw seems to go down on USD strength
My thinking is the pull back is an over reaction to a possible rate increase by Fed
Would a miniscule raise by the Fed have a major effect on USD/CAD?

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
Our sector percentage in the consumer staples space is a low weighting , having only ATD.B. We would like to add one small cap and one large cap. In the small cap space we like PBH. Is it a good time to enter this sector now and what is your favourite large cap?
thank you as always for your opinion.

Q: Hi, considering buying Loblaw. Is now a good time with the rather steep p/e of 42? Are their any better Canadian consumer staples other than couche tard? Thanks in advance
Q: I hold a small position in L currently up 53% and am in a position to double it or add ATD.B to my well diversified portfolio. My focus is dividends with some growth. What is your recommendation at this time?

Q: I am thinking of switching my holdings in Canadian Tire and buying Loblaws with the proceeds. Just seems to me that the retail space is inherently more risky than food and drugs and I think the Shoppers Drug/Loblaws tie in has a lot of synergy potential. CTC has been a strong performer for years so it comes done to valuations and growth potential. How do the two compare on valuation metrics and would you favour one over the other, assuming long term holds for each and total growth (dividends and gains) the ultimate goal.
Appreciate for the insight.
