Q: Good morning, Which Stocks do you guys believe should benefit the most with the rising cost of living and many people having to turn to cheaper retail and grocery stores for example. Would stores like Costco and Dollarama be a couple of obvious examples, thanks?

Q: Hello, I am looking to enter a position into one of these two companies, I am leaning towards DOL. They have both been a consistent compounder since I started watching them over the years. Do you have a preference ? This would be a hold in my TFSA, (if that makes a difference)
Thanks.

Q: Hi - as a follow up to your reply from my earlier question today on the above, would you consider a further pullback during this possible rotation to be an opportunity to add back to them? This would be under scenario that once a recession is upon us that they would once again do well. Secondly, do you "expect" that this rotation may last a quarter or two...or is your base case for recessionary positioning sooner?

Q: Thoughts on these two results and forward outlook?

DOL - had a solid beat and raised guidance, guidance and growth look strong still. Stock down currently on the results.

TVK - sales beat, profit down, div up 20%. For growth and acquisition companies like this, do you like to see a 20% div increase vs other "better" capital allocation ideas such as buying back shares, re-investing capital into more organic growth, etc.. Thoughts? Looking to add more to a smallish position.

Thanks!

Q: On a discounted cash flow basis, the intrinsic or fair value of DOL is $74.52.  But the current price is $87.56. And this seems to me to  signal DOL is overvalued by $41.50  or 35.77%. My question is how much weight should be placed on this method of valuation? And what other metrics should I consider along with the discounted cash value valuation? For example, is this valuation a signal to trim to a base weight of 4%?  Curious me...and also a fan of DOL......Tom

Q: What is your current assessment of George Weston. Its share price is down about 20% since its high of 4-5 months ago, and seems to be in a downward trend. It has a fairly small dividend. How does it look to you? Are there any reasons you to continue to hold this? Do you have any other defensive names that you prefer? Thanks,
