Q: Good afternoon 5i Team,
Looking for the advice on building up the portfolio.
I currently have CAD RRSP and USD RRSP accounts worth $10200 and $8500 respectively.
I hold 4.3% of OSS shares and 11.4% of TRZ shares in CAD RRSP currently.
My question is whether I should still hold 2 accounts in both currencies or consolidate them in CAD going forward?
Also, what would you recommend to invest in? Risk - moderate.
Thank you and happy Friday

Q: You mentioned plus to a question as being in the cannabis gummy market. I noticed they had record revenues this past quarter and they are accelerating expiration of their warrants convertible at .69 US—if I understand what I am reading on the company. So my question is is it investible at this time in a TFSA for growth.

Q: Canada Goose has been criticized for its use of down, fur and wool by PETA and other sources, and there are lots of questions on the internet about their treatment of animals. Do you consider their transparency standard for ethical sourcing and use of the products "ethical enough" to withstand any public concerns and ad campaigns against it? If so, do you still consider it is a good buy at $65? They are opening 6 new stores this fall so they must feel confident. Thanks for your valued opinion on this.

Q: I understand that soon cannabis edibles will be legal in Canada.
I believe this will bigger than smoking the stuff.
( I enjoy a cookie much more than filling my lungs with smoke).
I betcha the big cookie companies are high on getting into this.
Are there any companies, large or small, that one could invest in or is it too early?
Thanks
Derek

Q: GOODFOOD LAUNCHES YUMM.CA, A VALUE MEAL KIT OPTION TARGETING COST-CONSCIOUS CANADIANS

Surprised that the stock price of FOOD has been generally declining over the last 6 weeks since announcing strong quarterly earnings. But it has perked up in the last couple of days following the introduction of the lowest price ready-to-cook option in Canada. As always, I would appreciate your analysis of this new development.

Q: Good morning,

If you had to keep 3 of the 6 listed companies, which ones would you choose. The goal is for pure growth over next 10 years assuming all companies continue to grow and execute on their existing business and outlooks etc. No sector concerns but I want to keep 1 Canadian and 2 US companies. Thank you for the continued advice!

Q: I realize that BEP.UN could have US tax implications if not held in a RRSP\RIF. Does Bam.A have any similar tax implications or is it treated the same as most other Canadian stocks.
Would the maximum recommended holding for BAM.A be be at about 7.5% of the portfolio or since it is diversified by the other Brookfield companies would it be higher and if so what would the recommended limit be.

Q: Hi Peter and Company:
I am a growth investor, presently down on above 4 Canadian and 5 US companies.
Should I keep, sell, add or replace e.g. GC with TSGI.
Since US market usually outperforms CAN market I am fine buying all best US growth
companies that you will recommend...…..or mixture of US and CAN companies. Long term hold fine but not required. I will trade as required, i.e. when becoming aware of it. E.g. missed selling MX, where I had an nice gain but no alert to sell and now a significant loss.
Thanks for your advice

Q: I own all of these in equal weighting (7% each). Down quite a bit on NFI. Just seeing if I should keep it and give it the long term (10 years) to provide a good return or sell because there is a better company to replace it with for a better long term performance at this point. Any other recommendations as I do have some cash side lined at this point (30%).
