Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Alex Ruus on BNN said CLL was too expensive, and he would maybe sell at this point. He's not the first I've heard saying it was very expensive. It seems to me that your position has always been that the top stocks deserve a premium, and I've never read you advise one be sold due to price. Is this a general philosophical belief? Ie., never sell a good stock even if it is overpriced?

Q: Based on available historical data, the above have compounded earnings > 10%. I intend to put these good companies into a RRIF to boost the return of a mostly bond/gic content.

In your opinion would you regard each of the above as a good company that should be able to provide a relatively stable future annual return of 8% to 10% with the exception of a market meltdown. Looking for some reassurance regarding the picks. Thank you.

Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!

Q: Hello;
I have full position of ZCL. I would like to take full positions in CCL.B and RPI.UN for 2 to 3 year horizon.

However, all of the above are in packaging industry. Is it advisable to put so much in one industry? Thanks.
