Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I’m overweight in Consumer Cyclical, and need to raise some cash for an underweight sector. Between CCL.B and MG, please rank them in order to sell a partial position. I like them both, so this is a tough decision! Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Q: CCL.b reports next week and I'd like to know your level of concern about them around this Qtr. I'm trying to get a sense as to their possible sensitivity to input cost inflation. So I'd like to know your thoughts around them perhaps meeting/exceeding this reporting qtr BUT commentary that they are uncertain/fearful around next qtr due to supply chain constraints/inflation. Lots of companies seem to be beating their numbers but getting hammered because of supply chain commentary on conference call. Basically asking what CCL's sensitivity is to the current narrative around supply chains/inflation. Thank you as always.

Q: How do you see this company managing in an inflationary environment? Do you see this as a good entry point? Are there other names in this sector you would prefer right now? Interested in dividends. Thank you!

Q: Hi, for my TFSA I primarily hold small dividend with steady growth companies, to keep things somewhat stable. STC is the exception. I have room for one more company.
With that in mind could you suggest 3 stocks that may fit in with what i already have, keeping sector diversity in mind. ( I also have ATD.B in another account)
Thanks, really enjoy your platform and service to the small investors.

Q: Hello,
I wish to bring up some percentage allocation in one or two of the above companies from the balanced portfolio and was wondering how you would rate them for (1) growth and (2) safety over next, say three years. Thanks for your great service!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Portfolio Analytics indicates that we're overexposed to the Consumer Cyclical Sector. Please rank the above three stocks from "sell some shares first" to "sell some shares last" so that we can free up some cash to put in the Materials sector, which is presently underrepresented. What are your favourites in the Materials sector? (Either stocks or ETFs in Canada or the US.) Thanks as always.
