Q: Hi

Two months ago I invested a severance that closely followed your balanced portfolio. It has done well. I recently had a pension transferred to a LIRA and want to invest that too. A part of me is hesitant to invest the LIRA in equities such as CSU or GC as examples given their terrific gains already. 8 weeks ago CSU was $900 and I thought I was taking a risk then but it went up even higher so it worked out. My question is when is it too late to hop on the 5i train? especially if you are a relatively new subscriber such as myself. Note, I still do my own research and make my own adjustments on my portfolio.

I'm really glad I subscribed. It has been a great decision thus far.

Thanks!

Q: Keeping in mind the extended length of the current bull market, the often bewildering ‘noise’ emanating from our once friendly neighbour to the south, and a myriad of other moving parts, I’m finding it difficult to identify Canadian companies that can survive and continue to grow over the long term. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share with me a list of dividend paying Canadian companies that are so well-managed and have such strong stories that you believe they have an excellent chance to continue to grow and flourish well into the future. I would consider these companies to become core holdings and held for 5 to 10 years. Hopefully, your choices would represent multiple sectors.

Q: Hi,
I own CSU DB that I wish to sell. However, I cannot sell these directly but only through my broker (TD). However, my requests to sell these have failed several times. Presume the DB are thinly traded. Presently listed at $ 124.25.
What is your recommendation that may result in a sale. Offer for e.g. $ 115.00 and not as a day order but rather with an open time.
Appreciate your reply. Thanks.
Klaus

Q: A couple years ago, on your suggestion. I purchased some shares of CSU. for my wife's portfolio. At the time they were pretty cheap.. They now represent 23% of her total account. I find it hard to sell any as they keep going up, but if they ever took a nosedive, I would likely have to live in a tent in our back yard.. Would you suggest I sell some or hang on for a while longer? I notice you are suggesting them frequently as a good buy.

Q: I have 6% of portflio in ENB. Will it be better to sell 50% of ENB and buy KEY for better risk management and capital appreciation. Although ENB pays 2% more dividend.
OR
Will it be prudent to sell half or all of ENB and buy CSU?
Thank you, kam

Q: This week I will reduce my current energy portfolio (@12%), bringing it down to two holdings to a total sector percentage of 5%. I need a second suggestion for the Energy portion, considering RRX, though with a tendency to PKI.

With the available funds, I’d like to get into the Tech and Healthcare sectors, selecting one new holding each. I have earmarked RHT and PHO for Tech, with CSU and SHOP as secondary options. For Healthcare, I’m eyeing GUD, COV and PLI.

This approach is geared towards a slightly balanced but still aggressive enough growth portfolio.
Please advise on your top picks for each sector. Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Q: Whenever analysts talk about PBH (premium brands) or CSU (constellation) they inevitably talk about them being over-valued and due to fall or tread water for a while. You've allowed both to rise to about the 6.5% level in the portfolio (as per the last record on your site) without trimming. Does that mean you disagree with the analysts, or simply don't care about a short term fallback of 10%-20% since you are confident they will eventually regain that and move past it?
