Q: Hi 5i,

I currently own DOL, ATD and PBH for Consumer Staples. I'm getting a little bored of the progress that DOL has made over the last three years and I'm looking for a little more growth.

Looking at EMP, L or MRU as a replacement. Based on today's news from I'm leaning towards EMP. Please let me know what your thoughts on this switch, or if you'd recommend another stock not mentioned.

I have a long horizon, 7+ years, and looking for some more growth.

Thx

Q: Can you please compare the current valuations of these stocks with their historical/average valuations? Can you also comment on whether there appears to be any parallel to their behaviour now as compared to during the last financial crisis, and if so, what happened to their share values after things returned to “normal” then? My concern about investing in the consumer staple space now is that they might suffer from a rotation out when the outlook for other sectors eventually start to improve. Do you share that concern to any degree?

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you for the great work. My experience grocery shopping this weekend is that the stores are busier than ever.

Is it to simplistic to look at the current virus volatility as an opportunity to add to positions in the grocery companies?

Currently I have existing positions in Empire and Metro.

Thank you in advance.

Q: Greetings 5i team,

May I please have your expert analysis on the earnings of these companies.
I have been holding EMP.A for a while and have good profit. Is it time to bail out or still a good investment?
Is it time to step in to TCL.A?

Thank you in advance and have a safe and fun holidays

Q: Why the big drop? Earnings were good. Do you see the $4.00 drop as justified? Farm Boy is always packed and they are expanding in Toronto. Is it because they are taking on too much debt? I may sell since I have a huge position. Can you provide me with a consumer staples etf that won’t be so volatile. It is for my Rrsp soon to be converted to a Riff. Thanks.
