Q: Please comment on my attempt to trim. 100 shares of CSU was purchased at $116. Present value is $196. It is now 9.8% of my portfolio which is about $200,000. If I sell 30 shares at $196 that would reduce the holding to 6.9% of my portfolio. Is this worth the effort?
I also own 600 shares of ESL @ $27.76. This is 8.3% of my portfolio. If I sell 100 shares that would reduce this holding to 5.4%. Alan W.

Q: Constellation has been "A" rated and I think it's no secret it is the current favourite 5i Canadian stock for numerous reasons, great chart. I'd like to know what CSU would need to do to earn an "A+" rating to rise above its very few "A" peers; would a stock split help? If CSU can't make "A+" what non-Canadian company might be on the horizon for the "A+" rating, recognizing it's not your area of expertise? If I'd never heard of 5i I would not have been in CSU since $115 and since the initial purchase have averaged up, and I sure wouldn't be in "A" territory! Thanks, 5i.

Q: Hi Peter and team;
Thanks for the great service. I am building positions with A and B rated stocks. So far I have bought Stantec, Enghouse, BNS. I am looking at adding another stock, my goals are long term hold (5 years) and looking for dividend growth potential and stock price appreciation. At this time, is their one stock you would recommend.
Tks
Kevin

Q: I'm tempted to purchase Constellation (CSU) but am concerned about whether there is still much upside potential in the next couple of years. I know you did a report on it in Oct 2012, giving it an excellent grade, but it was $103.78. Today it's trading around $135 meaning it's gained around 30% in the last 7 months. Do you still recommend it at these levels?
