Q: Brookfield Renewable is close to where it has previously double topped ....do you feel the share price this is getting dangerous now . I have a decent profit and could sell here or because. I don't have a full position and I could stay in and watch it continue to grow, or even add to my exposure here... I really am unsure what to do at this point. Thanks

Q: PBH has consistently been one of your top 3 growth stock recommendations lately. Based on your recommendation, I am keen to initiate a position. However, every time I look at the stock chart it seems like it may be over-valued. When PBH Revenue and gross profit increase 25% year over year, but the stock price increase 55%, doesn't this indicate that PBH is over-valued? If PBH P/E is currently 36, isn't this trading at a premium to it's average P/E and there's more downside risk that it will return to trading fair value?
How do you calculate PBH as being one of the best valued stocks today?

Q: My partner has $25k to invest in a new TFSA. Was thinking that 5 stocks of $5k each might be a good initial starting point. Do you agree? And could you make suggestions of stocks to add based on a moderately to aggressive approach. Her other investments inside a RRSP are primarily mutual funds or ETF based. Thanks!

Q: Another 2 headlines in the Vancouver Sun today.1)B.C.Casinos knowingly accepted banned cash:confidential report.In 2015 River Rock Casino accepted $5.37m(79%)of $6.7m from illegitimate lenders.2)"Nearly all" gamblers with $20s left with other bills(reining)."River Rock does have criteria in place to help prevent refining for the purposes of money laundering,but---the notion that nearly all gamblers were paid out with $100 bills,regardless of the denomination that they brought in with,in part suggests that the controls in place to prevent a patron from refining may not be functioning as intended."These reflect poorly on River Rock & may result in adverse impact.Buy,sell or hold.Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team, My wife and I, retirees, hold a fairly conservative portfolio, including the listed stocks above in our TFSA's. Our overall asset mix is 5/45/50 cash/fixed income/equities. If (in view of the buoyant markets) we chose to increase our cash position, which 1 or 2 of the listed stocks would you suggest we sell? Thank you.

Q: Hi, i am looking to add some of these names to my portfolio. I want long term growth. I am young and can hold 5 years plus. Please ignore sector diversification. Can you rank best to worst. Can you also comment on significant valuation differences? IE MG versus NFI or WPK. Is it simply business earnings stability? Because it appears growth in Magna earnings is quite significant even relative to NFI or WPK.

Q: TSGI's earnings are to be announced in about a month - I believe the estimate is .47 vs .42 same time last year. Any sense of what to expect ?
I will be trimming my TSGI position at some point and was considering putting those funds into GC. Do you feel a 10% total allocation between these 2 gambling stocks (roughly 5%/5%) is too much in an otherwise diversifed portfolio ? Thanks, as always.

Q: I bought CSH.UN @ $11.60 in 2015, Sold @$14.20 in 2016 & repurchased this month @$15. What is the pay out ratio for CSH.UN? Morning Star shows a pay out ratio of 615%. Is this possible and if it is true should investors be worried. I bought CSH.UN for income. What is your opinion? Is there a better site to look up pay out ratio for stocks? Thanks for this great site.

Q: I have a portfolio that mostly mirrors your balanced portfolio with some stocks from your growth portfolio. In tech I hold PHO instead of SYZ which has worked out great. However in consumer discretionary I hold a 2% position in XTC instead of MG which has not been as great. I also hold TOY (5.6%) and DOO (3.5%) instead of GC. I have a 1.5% cash position to put to work and am trying to decide on adding a half position in GC or adding to XTC. Alternatively I could sell XTC at a loss and buy a full position(3%+) in MG or GC. Your ideas would be appreciated. Thank you
