Q: Essential appears to be being crushed more so than other service industry stock. Can you provide an update as to their metrics and advise as to whether you believe this is a company that will survive the current sector cycle.

Q: Peter and Gang:
I need to bump up the consumer sector of my portfolio. It seems like a lot of these stocks are at or near their 52 wk. high, particularly after the little "Target bump". Which two stocks would you recommend,and although timing is difficult do you see now as a good time to add. What do you think of ATD.B & L vs. CTC and WN. I am looking at a 10 year plus hold.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Peter and team:
Could you please comment on the ability of TBE to weather the downturn over the long haul. I own shares in an RESP and an unregistered account. I wonder if I should just hold on, or if it would be wise to take the 60% hit and re-invest in WCP or similar small cap with a better balance sheet.
Thanks
Phil

Q: I am embarrassed to say that I bought Teck a few years ago at $37 and have ridden it down to the current $14. I keep thinking it will recover, but it hasn't yet. I have a 4-6 year horizon and can be patient, and have a fairly balanced portfolio. Would you recommend further patience or should I just sell at a loss. Do you think the divident is safe?

thanks for your great work!

Q: Hello again. Having ascertained that we are working with 10 sectors, I am proceeding with my re-balancing (an exercise I have never done before) and find that Technology is 19 % consisting of CSU,ESL,MDA,SYZ,DSG,DH,ABT,ET and Financial (including REITS) is 22.2% consisting of FSV,HR.UN,HCG,BNS,CXI,REI.UN,ZWB,CSH.UN,ZRE,SLF while Healthcare is only 2.3% CXR. We are septuagenarians, 21 years retired and have about 50 names total obviously too many. Any suggestions on names to eliminate would be welcomed and suggestions for healthcare addition (maybe CCT) also appreciated. We are waiting for portfolio review but I am trying to correct some of these imbalances now. Thanks for the service.
