Q: What is your opinion on the activist investor situation at CNR? I remember when this happened with CP a few years ago. Even though I never bought in, the stock did very well in the years following Hunter Harrison being appointed CEO.

I'm asking because I am currently light in industrials, I have postions in TT, WSP, TFI, XYL. I was considering a position in CNR for my RRSP.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor, who usually follows a fully invested, buy-and-hold strategy for the long term but trims-adds around core positions to achieve the targeted asset allocation. I currently have <4% cash in the combined family portfolio.

Question #1 = for new monies into my wife's account as they become available, please rank the order in which you would invest into BCE, LNF, NWC....and why? I'm looking at where is the most Total Return upside over the foreseeable future. Ignore asset allocation, I've got that covered.

Q#2 = ditto for my account, please rank for new money investment into LIFE, ZRE, BNS, WSP...and why?

2 questions...please deduct 2 credits.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.....Steve

Q: I bought REAL in juin 2020 and have averaged down on the way, ending with a large loosing position. Lesson learned about averaging down!

How do you consider the outlook for REAL? It missed estimates, but how do you like the growth, the balance sheet and the valuation actually?

Im wondering if i hold longer or if i trim around 1.5%?

Im considering the lower market to average up LSPD, GSY, ATA, WSP or BYD. How would you rank those today?

Q: I am a recent subscriber, but have been around long enough to have taken your advice on TOI:CV. It has done quite well, thanks. I have my TFSA holding only one stock, BNS with the whole $75,000. It has essentially not moved in the last 6 months. Can you suggest one or two stocks that you feel have a similar potential as did TOI, as I would like to sell my BNS and move into something else?
