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

Q: I am wondering which two from the list above I should add. I am a long term investor who typically buys and holds for 5-10 years or longer (basically until the fundamentals change). I am 40 years old with a 70/30 stocks/bonds split and I hold emerging markets etc. in the recommended amounts. I am just looking to add two high quality names for the long term here to add to my existing equity portion. Thanks.

Q: In a recent member's question regarding a conservative portfolio construction you said that there are good consumer discretionary companies that are growing income and dividends. Which ones in Canada and the US would you recommend other than the auto related ones? Many thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello Peter & Team, in my portfolio I have positions in all sectors of the economy except for materials. Other than gold stocks, could you suggest 2 or 3 names, in the materials sector, that have decent dividend and growth potential ? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Hi, CCL Industries stock price has stalled lately after touching a high of $249, few months ago. Recent acquisitions, including Checkpoint systems should be positive to its business and profitability should only go up. Even when markets are hitting new highs every day, stock price seems unable to move out of its narrow range although most analysts have price targets between $275-$285. CCL.b is almost 8.5% of portfolio and I am considering scaling it down. What is holding its price performance, in your view? Based on the recent Winpak results and other information/indicators, is it prudent to wait until quarterly results are released or act now to avoid risk of a surprise on the downside? Thanks

Q: Hi guys
I should have added one of these about 2 years ago but unfortunately did not. Looking at their trading price today, and as a long term hold for at least 5 years which stock would you buy today. Looking at about a 4% weight in a diversified portfolio.

Q: I am resubmitting this question as apparently the symbols did not show up with my first question. Can you please comment on these stocks as to suitability for a GROWTH portfolio and if you have any concerns over any of these. Are there any substitutions you would make to this list? Thank you.

Q: After buying CCL.B at $98 less than two years ago, I've just sold off my small position, figuring -- based on my very amateurish technical analysis skills -- that it's in a range of between $180 and $235. I'd like to buy it back again later in the summer. Would you agree or disagree with my thesis, and if you agree, at what price would you put in a standing order? Also, my concern about CCL.B at $235 was the 25 PE multiple my Investorline account shows. I know you like to say "pay up for good companies," but a 25 PE for a label maker?

Q: Dear 5i,
I have a half position in CCL.B and have been waiting for a pull back to buy more. I see the Winpak has had an excessive sell off. Do you think there may be more opportunity with Winpak vs CCL at this time for my other half position?
Thank you,
Kerri

Q: I was looking for previous questions and answers on CCL Industries CCL and could only see two Q & A going back to January this year. I am sure I have read more previously??

CCL has gown to 6.7% of my portfolio, though it would have been less if oil had not taken such a hit. It's one of the few stocks that we own in RRIFs that does not seem to have pulled back and I am loathe to sell to balance the portfolio becbecause of its performanceause of its weighting.
In a case like this, is it appropriate to hold on, or should we trim and buy something like Winpak?
