Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim

Q: i bave large positions in both companies.
gsy is cheap, beats earnings every quarter, increase their dividend, return on equity approaching 30% , target increased to 85, yet does not seem to get much love.
lspd is a momentum stock increasing revenue by huge amounts, everyone loves the company, no earnings.
i know completely different companies but why such a discrepancy. is it because gsy is a subprime lender.

Q: You had recommend these stocks back in March when I had asked for some growth names for 2-3 year old. Unfortunately I did not pull the trigger and Both stocks have run up a fair bit. Is this still a good entry point or perhaps wait for a general market correction for go easy and BOYD. Also thoughts on Spinmaster to initiate a position. Thx

Q: As I start my 6th 16-year-old grandchild off on his investing journey with $500, I am writing to ak if you have a suggestion for a growth stock to complement half of the total invested in conservative BCE. He is hoping - at very long odds - to match his older (now 18 with an account in his own name) brother who chose SHOP to go along with BCE. I know this is a tough challenge, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Q: Been a while since a question on one of these but they keep grinding higher. Is this just good momentum or shares are getting the right valuations? Do you know when they report earnings next?

Q: HI,

I have about a 15% position of TRP in
my RRSP and was thinking of selling and replacing with a non-energy related equivalent dividend stock. I also have large positions of GSY, TD, SHOP, ENB, BNS, AAPL, GOOGL, SPY, V, JPM so would not add to these.

What would you recommend? Thank you.

Q: I hold 5 Growth Portfolio 5iR position as noted above.....that I've held for some time.
I've decided to fold them into my Income and Balance Portfolios rather than track the group separately. The reason is to better manage the position weightings. Although these 5 are more growth-er positions, I'm really more a 70/30 balance/income investor...and closely follow the 5iR positions and weightings.
Now for my question - what weightings would you give each of ECN and GSY in an income portfolio, and also for each of DOL, OTEX, PEO and SHOP in a balanced portfolio?
.......again, thanks for your guidance......Tom
