Q: What do you think of Park Lawn at today's levels? P/E seems a little high - but does past and future growth prospects justify it? (TD has it currently at 67.2x). I see they have missed some quarterly estimates - reason to worry? The growth seems solid and I like the story....thanks for your thoughts.

Q: All the above is what I have in portfolio with equal weightings. I purchased all stocks 1 year ago. I am down on all except for SHOP and BYD. TOY is Down the most. Do you recommend to sell any of these stocks? What new stock would you recommend to add to a tfsa for growth?
Please deduct credit as you feel appropriate.
Thank you.

Q: Hi there, with the big drop today, would you be comfortable starting a position? Thanks!

Q: I think the future of NFI business looks bright, see following link:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/802526/us-public-buses-in-operation/

This statistic represents the overall number of buses and the number of electric buses in U.S. city fleets as of December 2017. In December 2017, American cities used about 65,000 public buses nationwide, 300 of which were electricity-powered.

I am significantly down on this stock. It is a long term hold and favourite of mine.

My gut says the market is wrong on this equity and I should buy more shares here. My brain say don't chase / average down. Start a new position in another equity altogether.

Looking for some veteran wisdom from you guys. I am sure you have been here before.

Your earliest response is appreciated, NFI is oversold!

Thanks

Q: Could you please explain the process of and the reasons , including pros/cons, for the ENGH stock split that was announced later in December. What actually is going to happen - I don't understand exactly what they mean by doing it by way of paying a dividend ? Isn't a stock split usually done to increase the number of shares available .
I hold the stock and have been very happy with its performance but find this confusing and am not sure what I will end up with.
Many thanks, as always.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Across all accounts, our sector allocations need re-balancing. I'm trying to re-allocate money only in stocks that are already held. In the Consumer Discretionary space, should I add to GIL and/or MG today? (GIL is 2.75% and MG is 2.92% of the total portfolio)

Thanks as always for the timely advice.

Q: Greetings 5i Team.
We are adjusting our accounts and looking to place 6% of our equity allocation in the Cdn ‘industrials’ category. If you were to choose among the listed securities, which names would you prefer for each of a one, two, three, and four name selection?
Thankyou
Sam

Q: Long time, very frustrated, holder of GUD. GUD never tanked with the Dec carnage but has not rose much either, just seems "stable", which is OK except with no divy there is an opportunity cost in continuing to hold. What would you do? Swallow the frustration and give it more time, or switch to something else in the growth mode, maybe SIS or BCI?
