Q: Good afternoon, I had moved everything to cash, believing that we were overdue for a bit of a correction, and also because I did quite well on atd and ccl. . Do you think a correction will occur when the honeymoon is over with Trump? I know no-one has a crystal ball, but do you think it is likely? If no, would you be content with the above choices for a moderate risk? I plan to keep my US in cash for now.
Thanks as always.

Q: I am currently holding WPK after having switched to it from CCL.B a few months ago when it seemed to get a bit over valued. I just noticed that there seems to be some negative correlation on these two stocks and I don't really understand why that would be since I always thought that these companies were very similar. Can you explain this and do you think it is a good time to start getting back in to CCL.B or should I just stick with WPK. Thanks

Q: CCL is roughly flat over the last 12 months and down significantly in October even after reporting what I would consider decent earnings. I understand the sector rotation going on after the US election might have played a part in October's decline but are there other things going on that are of concern? Is the debt level a concern? The stock just keeps drifting lower. I have half a position and was wondering if now would be a good time to purchase the other half?

Q: Technology is really taking a hit at the moment which is focused I believe on Trumps attitude towards goods being produced out of country.
This may or may not provide a buying opportunity, and could you please shed some light on my thinking. Does CCl.B produce goods abroad.
Thanks for your info

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: I am wondering which two from the list above I should add. I am a long term investor who typically buys and holds for 5-10 years or longer (basically until the fundamentals change). I am 40 years old with a 70/30 stocks/bonds split and I hold emerging markets etc. in the recommended amounts. I am just looking to add two high quality names for the long term here to add to my existing equity portion. Thanks.

Q: Hi, CCL Industries stock price has stalled lately after touching a high of $249, few months ago. Recent acquisitions, including Checkpoint systems should be positive to its business and profitability should only go up. Even when markets are hitting new highs every day, stock price seems unable to move out of its narrow range although most analysts have price targets between $275-$285. CCL.b is almost 8.5% of portfolio and I am considering scaling it down. What is holding its price performance, in your view? Based on the recent Winpak results and other information/indicators, is it prudent to wait until quarterly results are released or act now to avoid risk of a surprise on the downside? Thanks

Q: Hi guys
I should have added one of these about 2 years ago but unfortunately did not. Looking at their trading price today, and as a long term hold for at least 5 years which stock would you buy today. Looking at about a 4% weight in a diversified portfolio.

Q: I am resubmitting this question as apparently the symbols did not show up with my first question. Can you please comment on these stocks as to suitability for a GROWTH portfolio and if you have any concerns over any of these. Are there any substitutions you would make to this list? Thank you.
