Q: I hold a number of shares of C.I.Financial (CIX) purchased many years ago -what is your opinion of the company - is it an add, hold or sell ?
I am also still holding Cineplex (CGX) do you see any prospects for this company's shares increasing in the near future or should I sell?
Thanks for your reply

Q: Retired, conservative dividend investor. I consider a "full" position to be around 5%, which is reserved for the likes of "true blue chips" (BCE, BNS, RY, FTS, TRP, etc.) and lower weights for non-blue chip. I hold the following securities, with the following weights:
CGX = 4.4%
NWC = 2.7%
PBH = 4.8%
TCL = 3.3%

Q#1 = Regarding topping up, I am virtually at a full weighting with CGX and PBH. Based on today's Qtr results for CGX, would you top it up?
Q#2 = Given my blue chip comments, would you add more to NWC? I was thinking of moving is to 4%.
Q#3 = Regarding TCL, I am down (surprise!). At $15, it is looking very interesting. Depending on the width of your pencil, it looks like a decent level of support right where it is now...versus catching the proverbial falling knife. Current strategy = wait for Qtr numbers June 6...agree or add a bit?
Three questions...please deduct 3 credits.

Q: I want to do a home renovation project and need some cash. Could you rank these stocks in order of the ones you would sell first to last in my position. Cineplex, Couche Tard, North West, MTY, Power Financial, Enghouse and Calian. I probably only need three names to raise what I need.

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor.

Q #1 = I have partial positions in CSH, CGX, PBH, TCL. Would you top up any of these positions?

Q #2 = I am a little light on Consumers. I am having trouble finding an ETF in the consumer sectors that pay a "reasonable" dividend. My ideal dividend target is > 3%, but I'd consider > 2%.

Two questions...please deduct 2 credits. Thanks...Steve
