Q: Please provide your views on ARKK's growth prospects for the next 12 months. A ballpark percentage range would be appreciated. While I recognize the ETF will be challenged to come anywhere close to its growth rate over the last couple of years, I'm wondering how much gas is still in the tank. Thank you.

Q: Morning

I have funds in my TFSA and am interested in investing in one of the three stocks listed. Would appreciate your thoughts on rating the growth and risk of each and whether you feel there is a better growth alternative.

Q: I was wondering what your current assessment of STC would be? Since its major acquisition it shot hire and has steadily drifted down (still up YTD and year over year I realize). I am assuming it has to do with investors wanting to see a few quarters post-merger and possibly a lack of news? Am I missing something?

The price is now nearing where it was pre-merger. Could the current price be under-valued and a good position to add, or would you want to wait for a quarterly report or two to see how the merger shakes out?

Q: Hi 5i,
You have SNAP as a sell and PINS as a buy. Those are my thoughts as well. What always puzzles me is that every quarter, the analysts always look at SNAP’s earnings as a harbinger of what PINS may report. That makes no sense to me. They have very little in common except for on-line advertising. SNAP is a “disappearing picture” site for the younger demographic. PINS is a hobbies and pre-shopping site for all demographics, but more so for women. What weight if any do you put in this thesis that as SNAP goes, so goes PINS? SNAP reports today and PINS next Tuesday.
Thanks for the insight.

Q: Good day folks.
Reviewing the three portfolios, I see no representation from the "Pot" sector. Are you making a conscious decision to steer clear?
If you were to participate, which Companies would you be interested in, CAD and US? Is there an ETF that you would point me to to take out Company related risk?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Thanks to Moez for a nice article/stock screener today. I was surprised to see so many companies from the Metals sector.

IF he were to apply one more criterion to the 22 companies that made the list, i.e. debt load, which companies would come up on the top?
( the companies with the least debt load to the most)
Thanks.
