Q: Currently own a 4% position of Dollarama and after the disappointment today was thinking of switching over to Covalon as a replacement. Looking out 3+ years would you look at this as a better long term strategy? Starting to worry the Dollar store space could get crowded in the coming years.

Q: Prices are down quite a bit from their highs.
Do you think one of the reasons for the decline is a switch by some investors from growth to value?
If so and faced with higher interest rates in the future it might time for you to consider starting a value equity model portfolio
Please comment

Q: Good day,

I currently own the subject shares in my TFSA portfolio. Are these stocks still worth hanging onto with the current volatility? I was considering selling everything and going with Vanguard or iShares.

Q: DOL seems to be going out of favor with investors as the stock is drifting downward. With the current thesis by many that we are heading towards recession, does it make sense that consumers will "shop" more at a Dollarama when that happens? Would you continue to hold on, add on further weakness or move on to something else? It is currently a 2% (Half) position.
Thanks

Q: Due to higher minimum wages, lower Canadian Dollar, fear of trade wars, ,Dollarama has been under pressure. As a result they need to increase prices to restore their profit margins
Do you think markets will react favorably if Dollarama increases their Ceiling price from $4.00 to $5.00 ?

Q: Dollerama stores are everywhere. They must be reaching a saturation point. I understand that they are trying to move up the value chain and gradually increasing prices. But they also face pressure from the potential tariffs on Chinese goods since the majority of their products are sourced from China. Do you still like this company or is there another retail company that would be a better fit?
thanks in advance.

Q: I have a well diversified portfolio using a passive index strategy. I have the above stocks in my TFSA to boost the total portfolio return. Thanks to 5i that has worked well. My current TFSA holdings are listed and I am up at least 15% on the first 5 stocks listed and plus / minus 5% on the last 5 stocks listed. I am in my early 70's and feel I don't want to spend as much time on the TFSA investments. Can you give me up to 10 buy and forget growth names for the TFSA and if some of the listed stocks are included in your list then so much the better. Thanks

Q: For a growth-oriented investor would you see any compelling reason to switch ATD.B for DOL at this time or are the prospects so similar it's a wash? Long term focused. Already have PBH in the sector and don't want to own all three.
