Q: I'm looking to add Superior plus to my portfolio. Its trading at a low price lately would you step in with a full position ,5 percent today at aprox 10 dollars. With winter weather already arriving and prediction of a cold Canadian winter to me its seems like a no brainer. Your input please ? Thank you for your good work.

Q: Hi,
I'm considering the purchase of a full position for a 5yr + hold in a company that pays medium range but increasing dividends as well as modest yearly capital growth. I already hold full positions in TD, BNS, Fortis, BCE, T. I'm looking at CU but would appreciate your recommendation for several other preferred companies.

Thanks,

Joe

Q: Hi 5i,
My current strategy is to have a hybrid approach so that I have some of the income portfolio holdings, some growth and some from balanced. In addition I have taken the same approach with US holdings and UK/Australian (to a lesser extent) so my version is diversified (both by sector and geographically, well hopefully) and I think of it like a balance equity portfolio.
Generally how does this (balanced) approach compare to the income or growth portfolio which seems more targeted in its purpose. Are there persuasive arguments to follow one style over another?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi 5i: Are there any general observations to make about how markets and different sectors usually react once a yield curve inversion occurs? I understand that subsequent recessions may not typically begin until 9-18 months after a yield curve inversion but I’m wondering if bear markets in equities most often tend to lead recessions and by how much. Along similar lines, at what point during the sequence of events would you expect to hear a lot of talk about 'engineering a soft landing’ and expect to see ‘easing’ steps such as interest rate decreases? I’m happy to do a little further reading on this myself if there is a good info source you’d like to point me toward. Thanks!
