Q: My 26 year old son has some funds to invest in his RRSP. He also holds a TFSA and Cash account and between the 3 accts, he holds, BEP, ECN, BNS, VHI, BAM, GSY, KUT, PBH, TOI, ENB and SLF. We would like to add a couple new names and on our list are TD, MFC, TIXT, GOOG, AMZN and EQB.....if you were advising your son in this situation, how would you rank these 6 stocks for addition to his RRSP? If you could add some colour as to your ranking, that would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks for the great service and advice

Q: Hello 5i team,
I was thinking of selling the rest of my NTR (a bit of CAE) shares to start a position in PBH. This is more to have a non-cyclical position since I currently have none.

In your last report on PBH you state that their dept is Medium/High. How well are they servicing their dept (paying it down or adding to it)?

PBH has also been growing their dividend over the past 5 years, what is the payout ratio for it's dividend? Has the payout ratio increased over the years?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello 5i,

In a December 7 question, you include DND in a list of stocks of which you write: We believe these companies fit the description of simple, predictable, strong financial position and undervalued companies: BAM.A, BNS, TFII, CSU, DND, QSR. I have a small position in DND and for me, (aside from the undervaluation) I don't feel like it fits that definition well. There is definitely something I am missing. Can you enlighten me on your logic?

Thanks

Q: I am looking recommendation for a solid long term Canadian growth stock, that one can largely purchase and forget it. This is for my grandchildren's portfolios which currently have a core holding of VEQT and small satellite positions in MICROSOFT, COSTCO and Visa. The portfolios are expected to be held for a very long time. I do monitor the positions currently on a quarterly basis.

Any thoughts on this approach and possible securities that would fit the bill?

Q: I have REAL in both my TSFA and non-registered accounts. I would like to get rid of it from my non-registered account. Could you suggest a replacement (I do not plan to repurchase it? Do you suggest selling it from the TFSA or waiting for it to turn around a bit?

Q: Hi team,

LSPD is my largest position in my TFSA and it is down 75% from my purchase price. The TFSA itself is down 50%.
You are obviously not positive about the future of LSPD. And, at 82 years old, I am not in for the long term.
My choice is to sell to save whatever is left of it or to keep it with the hope of selling it later with a smaller loss than now. What do you think ?
What would you do if you were in my shoes ?
Thank you for your attention.

Q: I am intending to take a small position in one of these 2 companies. Security of capital and long term growth are the mainstays of my investing objectives. Current distributions or dividends are of no particular importance, except to the extent they contribute to the objectives. Which company would you choose, and why? Thank you for your excellent service.
