Q: I am not particularly proud to acknowledge that I own the above- but I do. ENGH and OTEX are in accounts that are structured for income and some growth, while DSG is in an account that is looking for primarily growth. Canadian traded is key for all. Looking for your input on these companies and whether there are better options that I am missing.

Q: Hi guys,
I have money to add to an RRSP account that currently has CCO, DOL, BN, and L. I’m retired and looking for steady eddys. Each of these has worked well and I will continue to hold. I’d like to add one between MG, NA, CSU, SJ, GRT.UN. Or perhaps something else you would recommend. I understand these are all completely different companies. Sector is unimportant. Just something that is solid as a rock and to hold before converting to RRIF in 5 years

Q: Hello,
I have owned stpl for years as a sector based diversification strategy but feel it has had disappointing returns, even for that sector noting that there are some great breakout picks in the staples sector.
Could you please advise if you think it is a reasonable choice for the staples sector versus specific picks?
I realize that you typically recommend dol as well as wmt, cost and pg. just wondering what you think are good long term picks at this time given significant movement in these in the last couple of years.

Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.

Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.

Q: Hi, it seems that for several months, many analysts have considered Dollarama to be overvalued. However, the price is about 5% lower than when it hit its high in June. I already have a half position, and wonder what you would consider a good entry point? Thank you for your service!
