Q: Hi, My question is about NR stocks held in the model portfolios. I have created a custom stock universe using all stocks from your coverage list with a rating of B- and higher, plus all NR stocks from the Balance and growth model portfolios. I built a balanced 25 stock portfolio from the universe(all full positions). I have full positions in CLS and TECK.B, You have 1/2 positions in the Balanced port. You also had 1/2 position in RHT. I know RHT was risky for several reasons and AEM, CLS, TECK.b is for diversification? or is there high cyclical risk? For NR stocks i'm not sure how to decide full, half or exclude them. All stocks have different levels and types of risk. Is there a way to mention or grade the risk level and type of risk when adding NR stocks to a port? For example the new additions to the growth port. I assume GDI is lower risk then LGO? Can I consider full positions? I'm just trying to avoid accidentally having a full position in a very high risk NR stock.
Thank you so much!

Q: of all the companies listed, I currently have the same percentage of holding that is in the 5i portfolio. Which of these stocks would you be comfortable buying today and making it a 4-5 % holding as I have some cash and would like to average down. I am a young investor with a long horizon as these stocks are all in my RRSP.

Thanks

Q: I realize these companies are all very different in many ways, but I want to add 2 or 3. I'm completing the BEP and adding to the GMP. Could you rank them in terms of "best opportunity," meaning the share price does not reflect the quality and potential of the company. In other words, seems mis-priced in terms of your valuation of the company because share price is down for no apparent good reason from a fundamental perspective.
