Q: I recently saw a news feature that highlighted the increases in children developing myopia due to the amount of time they are now spending in front of screens.
I am looking for your best ideas to play this theme in Canada, US or internationally.
Would this company be your best recommendation or do you have another?
I have been a subscribing for many years and the 5i team has been outstanding.
Thanks for all you do!!!

Q: These two companies appear regularly when you mention companies that are "cheap" with good growth prospects. Of the two, which is "cheaper" and which would you expect to have more stock price appreciation in the next 12-24 months?

Also, GSY is up 10% today - is that due to their sale of Paybright to Affirm? Seems overdone if so...

Q: Hello Peter,

I’ve held this company since the Split in 2018. Since that time the share price has been less than my cost, that is until just lately. Based on its performance, does it remain in the BP for sector balance, or do you feel it has been consolidating for the last 3 years and has room to run?

Q: Go Easy finally broke 100$ on their announcement about the sale of PayBright and Affirm holdings. This seems very positive. Historically it has been noted they have been valued lower due to the business segment they operate in. Do you see this announcement as reducing perception of the company and will allow it to trade at higher multiples? BMO Investorline Value Analyzer product shows close to 90% upside from here is possible.

Q: Some help for Paul asking for ideas to invest in his TFSA. In February (13)?, 2017, 5i answered a request for the top 10 picks harvested from the 5i portfolios. They were as follows: GSY, SHOP, SLF, WSP, GUD, OTEX, SIS, KXS, PBH, and one other I lost track of. Over the 4 years the return, if still held, would be +280%, but even without SHOP or GUD, the return is a respectable +96%. So for Paul and me would you do it again from current portfolio holdings. My New Years resolution is to pay more attention to your picks...........thx. Lionel

Q: Thanks for your advice as always.
I am a bit confused on CSU. I thought the share price was to drop on December 23rd on the Topicus dividend/spinout date. I don't see it and thankful. Any thoughts on why or maybe when this could happen? I now have Topicus shares in my TD account but they don't show any value yet (probably not until end of January).

Q: Hola Peter et al.

My daughter’s TFSA is a mix of growth and stable names. A year or so go I bought TCL.A, expecting a stable company with some growth...but it went the wrong way. Would it make sense to sell TCL and buy LNF or would that be switching one good but slow moving company for a second good but slow moving Co.?

The difference in sector is not relevant and obviously taxes are not a factor.
Many thanks. Robert
