15 Things That Keep Us Awake At Night While we maintain a positive outlook going into 2018, there are some risks we are watching, and they include: NAFTA negotiations and high consumer debt levels in Canada are top of mind. An uncompetitive economy due to high minimum wages and high taxation are also a risk for Canada. Volatility has been extremely low, and this is unlikely to last forever. A sharp uptick in inflation rates around the world could cause central banks to raise interest rates quicker than expected. Equity valuations have been underpinned by low interest rates, and a sharp move higher would likely lead to volatility. 15 Festive Lunch 2017

16 Continue To Focus On Dividends And Dividend Growth Value of $1000 $26,665 Div. Growers $15,592 Div. Payers $6,047 TSX $1,471 Div. Cutters $1,061 Non-Payers 16 Festive Lunch 2017

17 In Summary Global Economic growth is accelerating for the first time in years, translating into strong earnings growth. Where can we find value? The US is near fully valued but still merits exposure, while others, including Canada, are much more reasonable. The evolving role of fixed income in portfolios has seen non-traditional fixed income securities pick up the slack of weaker government bond markets seen in Bumps in the road are inevitable, but need not derail a long-term plan. Rebalancing is always prudent, but the risk of correction is not the right reason to raise significant cash - going to cash at the first sign of trouble has been costly this cycle. 17 Festive Lunch 2017

20 5 great political quotes to start us off (and then no more politics) "In a recent fire Bob Dole's library burned down. Both books were lost. And he hadn't even finished coloring one of them." Jack Kemp "Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." "I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself." Mark Twain Ronald Reagan "I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people." Dan Quayle I want to thank all the Canadians who came out today to wave to me with all five fingers! George W. Bush 20 RBC Capital Markets

31 Rules to live by 1. Buy businesses, not stocks 2. Dividends are great, but finding the balance between return on and return of capital is the secret sauce 3. It s okay to have a too hard pile 4. The retail investor s advantage is patience - Buffett: "Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style. 5. The rarest commodity on Wall Street is patience 6. If you want to instantly be a smarter investor don t read the newspaper or watch the news 7. If you choose to read the newspaper, read page 12, not page 1 8. The wall of worry is never bigger than it is today until it is tomorrow 9. What we believe today will almost certainly be wrong 10-years from now 10. If you re feeling nervous about things, call your broker and buy something if you re feeling great, do the opposite 11. Americans will always do the right thing after they ve exhausted every other means of solution 12. Financial conditions matter more to stocks than politics ever will Live long and prosper! 31 RBC Capital Markets

32 Required Disclosures Non-U.S. Analyst Disclosure Matt Barasch (i) is not registered/qualified as a research analyst with the NYSE and/or FINRA and (ii) may not be an associated person of the RBC Capital Markets, LLC and therefore may not be subject to FINRA Rule 2241 restrictions on communications with a subject company, public appearances and trading securities held by a research analyst account. Conflicts Disclosures The analyst(s) responsible for preparing this research report received compensation that is based upon various factors, including total revenues of the member companies of RBC Capital Markets and its affiliates, a portion of which are or have been generated by investment banking activities of the member companies of RBC Capital Markets and its affiliates. Distribution of Ratings For the purpose of ratings distributions, regulatory rules require member firms to assign ratings to one of three rating categories - Buy, Hold/Neutral, or Sell - regardless of a firm's own rating categories. Although RBC Capital Markets' ratings of Top Pick/Outperform, Sector Perform and Underperform most closely correspond to Buy, Hold/Neutral and Sell, respectively, the meanings are not the same because our ratings are determined on a relative basis (as described above). 32 RBC Capital Markets

33 Required Disclosures Conflicts Policy RBC Capital Markets Policy for Managing Conflicts of Interest in Relation to Investment Research is available from us on request. To access our current policy, clients should refer to or send a request to RBC CM Research Publishing, P.O. Box 50, 200 Bay Street, Royal Bank Plaza, 29th Floor, South Tower, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2W7. We reserve the right to amend or supplement this policy at any time. Dissemination of research and short-term trade ideas RBC Capital Markets endeavors to make all reasonable efforts to provide research simultaneously to all eligible clients, having regard to local time zones in overseas jurisdictions. RBC Capital Markets' equity research is posted to our proprietary website to ensure eligible clients receive coverage initiations and changes in ratings, targets and opinions in a timely manner. Additional distribution may be done by the sales personnel via , fax, or other electronic means, or regular mail. Clients may also receive our research via third party vendors. RBC Capital Markets also provides eligible clients with access to SPARC on the Firm s proprietary INSIGHT website, via and via third-party vendors. SPARC contains market color and commentary regarding subject companies on which the Firm currently provides equity research coverage. Research Analysts may, from time to time, include short-term trade ideas in research reports and / or in SPARC. A short-term trade idea offers a short-term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. A short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports reflecting the research analyst's views of the longer-term (one year) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons, methodologies and/or other factors. Thus, it is possible that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term 'Sector Perform' or even an 'Underperform' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market; conversely, a subject company's common equity rated a long-term 'Outperform' could be considered susceptible to a short-term downward price correction. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm generally does not intend, nor undertakes any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas may not be suitable for all investors and have not been tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact your investment advisor or institutional salesperson for more information regarding RBC Capital Markets' research.
