Q: I'm looking to start a new half weight position in an RSP account with a 10 year time line. Sector allocation aside, how would you rank these in terms of capital appreciation from most favorable to least. I have good tolerance to risk.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: Have NFI, DOL, and CIX.

Not too impressed with DOL, looking to sell.

Want to add a good growth stock. Loblaws and BCE look appealing. BCE appears on multiple picklists, and seems sector-leading . And Loblaws shows strong fundamentals and consistently growing profits.

Your views on these or other better options please.

Q: It's getting a little scary to see such huge profits in my portfolio (Cash, TFSA, RRIF). I know you are flexible about percentages, so I'd like your opinion on whether to reduce the following equities and by how much?

SIS 7% ; BABA 6% ; NVDA 9%; SHOP 8% ; ALGN 6% ; DOL 9% ; PBH 9%.
Many thanks for all your thoughtful advice.

Q: Thanks for u comments on the poor/below estimated results of DOL.I may add that It blames on poor weather(also negative impact on earlier results of $ Tree & $ General) & new increase in min wages in some provinces(eg Ontario).The competition may be getter tougher as $ Tree stated last year that it may open another 1000 stores in Can,over time Also a Chinese $ store is opening..So DOL is hit & hit hard(currently down some $10).This also have a carry over impact on PBH(one of u stars) & ATD.B ,both down by some 3%.Please u short view if this is an opportunity to buy these 3 stocks,Always appreciate u normal great services & views

Q: It’s becoming increasingly clear Canada is facing challenges on many economic fronts from increasing regulatory burdens, inability to attract foerign capital and sub-national debt at the provincial level. Given that these, among many other, factors make Canada a questionable destination for investment, I’m wondering about your take on what this means going forward. Apart from an increased international focus, are there some Canadian companies doing business in Canada you feel can benefit from a potentially deteriorating economic scenario in Canada. I've recently taken a position in GSY and am considering DOL. Your thoughts on these and other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
