N/A

Market. If the US president would be impeached what reaction would we see? Markets do not like uncertainty so if that scenario played out the markets would be uncertain as to who would get in next, etc. The market has had time to digest Trump's approach. The world would not end but there would be meaningful volatility of 5-15% of he was impeached. This is now the longest bull market in history so people are trying to guess when it will end. Going to the sidelines has shown to be risky over the last few years. There is nothing out of the ordinary or a reason to hit the panic button. He gets concerned from a geopolitical perspective that the market is incorrectly balancing the bad with the good. This could lead to a meaningful pull back. You need to look at what you own and decided if you can live with it if we get into a bad market.

BUY

He really likes it at these valuations. It got on a bit of a tare recently. It is well diversified. Auto sales are slowing but they are diversifying their business into areas of the future. It is difficult to find a problem with its valuation. The recent sell off is due to aluminum tariffs. If your outlook is longer than 6 months you should do well.

SELL

He is quite bearish. The income fund has done better. When you look at the stock today he would say being a seller here makes a lot of sense as you take some risk off the table. He would move on because he does not like the uncertainty.

DON'T BUY

He would view it as a value trap. The spread is wider than it has been historically. The dividend looks attractive. It has a low PE and a high dividend yield so looks attractive. The issue is how Canadian-centric they are. He worries about investing in a solely Canadian bank relying on the Canadian consumer. They are betting the farm on Canada and the Canadian economy.

N/A

Combining TFSA and other Accounts in Retirement. If your RIFF owns all equities, you may have to sell at a lost to create liquidity. You could look at the TFSA and non-registered as one account generally, however.

BUY

He likes it. The move into the US was timely. They took some risk off the table. He thinks they are in the early stages of realizing the benefits of that US exposure. They might be vulnerable to a pullback but there is upside over the next 3-5 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 7/17, Up 50%) It does not always perform like it has over the last year but it was a value play. It is among the more conservative ways to play the oil space. It is integrated so you have some diversification. It is one of the only commodity names he owns. He liked it on a valuation basis and is continuing to buy it for new clients.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 7/17, Down 11%) A few of the big acquisitions did not happen that he had expected. He still owns it and still buys it. You get 3.25% yield. It is cheap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 7/17, Up 25%) They have such a large weighting in the US that it could affect how they can do business in the US. He likes it and continues to own it.

BUY

It is one of a handful of superstars that have weathered the storm of AMZN-Q. They are now playing some offense. For the size, they have done a great job of being nimble. Their acquisition has done very well. Same store sales are up. They have strong numbers overall. They are going to remodel their stores and this CAP-X could impair their ability to raise dividends. The tariffs have impeded their sales. Their margins may be squeezed by tariffs. He is not there because of the CAP-X spending planned. The valuation is attractive and there is support at the current price.

BUY

He likes it. It has sold off more than some of its peers. It is a product of interest sensitive names selling off and they revised downward their dividend growth projection. It is not a game changer and you could still be a buyer here.

N/A

Can the caller retire yet? Look at the income the portfolio is generating and see if it is enough to live on. If you are making up the income by selling equity then in a bad market you are selling that much more and increasing the erosion of your portfolio.

DON'T BUY

Anything with Brookfield has a premium attached to it. They have executed well. He prefers the asset management side of it because it is global but does not own either.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They were a paper packaging business that is dying. His hat is off to the team for transitioning it to packaging labels. They have slowly sold off assets from the paper business. He continues to like it although it is not as cheap as it was. It is still fairly cheap, however, at 11 times earnings. Take only a half position to take the rest on weakness. That is what he is doing.

BUY

It's trading at about 16 times which is at the lower end of its historical range. They introduced a tiered pricing system. More affluent areas will have a higher profit margin. It is seems it is gaining traction. They have a good history of raising their dividend. He is a buyer.
