Q: We would like to have more exposure to the consumer sector in our portfolio. We are considering adding one of the first three companies and/or adding more to winpak, which we currently hold. What is your opinion?

Q: Regarding today's decrease in the price of CCL.B you responded to a question "CCL has done a secondary bought deal of $333 million at a discount". I must admit that I do not understand the answer, nor do I understand why this would cause a significant drop in the price of a stock. I would greatly appreciate clarification of your answer. Thank you.

Q: I hold the above in a RIF and have weighted to cover the required withdrawal amount with dividends. Does this sound appropriate and if not, would appreciate your thoughts. Do you see a major loss of principal if markets continue its downward trend. Thanks for all your help.

Q: ATD.B has been flat for some time. I have a very substantial profit in this stock and it occupies 6.5% of my RRSP. I am considering a partial sell of ATD.B and a small buy of CCL.B, DOL, or BYD.UN. Is this a reasonable tactic or should I avoid chasing these 'hot" winners and be a little more patient? Joe

Q: 2 question : So bomber has bounced a bit so time for me to suck it up and sell at a 30% loss. Sell now or hold off a few more days to see if it has some legs.

Once I sell BBD.b what full position of the balanced equity portfolio would you buy right now: ccl, gud, nfi, sis, sj, syz, t or toy? Currently rebalancing my CAD equity portfolio to loosely match your portfolio and those above fill gaps in my allocation. Open to off the list suggestions but already overweigh or OK in financials, energy and tech.

Q: Hi folks,

I don't have a position in either one of these companies but I would like to. Both stocks keep going up and are expensive. Is it to late to start a position in one of these packaging companies, if so which would you prefer to pack away for the long term.

Thanks a bunch.
