Q: Wow, wild ride lately. I'm looking for some solid companies to tame things down in my portfolio. I would greatly appreciate it if you could recommend some companies that fit the following requirements:
1. Are reasonably valued.
2. Have a solid business model that have protective moats that shied them from competitive threats.
3. Generate strong cashflow and earnings even in a higher interest rate environment.
I'm interested in both Canadian and American companies. Thanks, as always for your support.

Q: 1. When CSU spun out TOI, it was considered a “mini European CSU”. What would consider the recent spinout of LMN i.e., a “mini xxxxx CSU”? If applicable.

2. I am thinking of unloading LSPD from my RRSP at a significant loss. Where would you suggest the funds go? I am thinking either SHOP or LMN or is that just setting up a double whammy? if yes, alternatives please.

Thanks as usual.

Q: (I have submitted this question under CSU since Lumine does not yet seem to have been entered in your automated stock list.)

Lumine (LMN) started to trade yesterday (Mar.24), at $16.75. I have no idea whether this is a fair value, but have noted in the past that the initial market price of spin-off shares often falls
precipitously in the first few days of trading. I
I would like to add to the shares I already possess from the CSU spin-off. In your opinion, is $16 overvalued?
Thanks!

Q: Hi Folks,
I have a question concerning what affect a recession would have on Tech stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and even Constellation Software?
I am nibbling away at buying these now but I am wondering whether I should wait to finish buying my full position on each until the recession is over.
Thanks

Q: When Lumine starts trading later this month, I will want to add to the shares that I will receive by virtue of my CSU holding. Is it your expectation that there will initially be some selling pressure and hence price weakness as investors who do not see Lumine as a core holding, sell the shares that they received? Also as was the case with Topicus, can I assume that an additional source of selling will be index funds who will be forced to sell their shares?
In your opinion, when will be the optimal time to acquire additional shares - immediately after they start trading, or gradually over the following weeks?...thanks...Glenn

Q: My Tech holdings are getting too high, thanks to your good advice. Would you please provide your current ranking of the stocks listed? I've included GOOGL, even though I believe you place it in the comm/serv sector.
