Q: You were asked a question the other day (the answer was the companies listed above) which I would like to ask again with one important difference: If you could only pick 5 stocks for growth today, the key words being growth, five and today, what would they be? The time frame is one year and RISK IS a factor. Thank you.

Q: Happy new year Team
I am looking for three trading ideas for each the US and Canadian markets. No sector or risk considerations. Just to benefit from the market recovery. Normally it's not my style but I intend to watch their performance very closely hoping to recover some of my losses in the recent downturn.
Thank you

Q: When the market begins to settle and turn around what companies do you expect will show a quicker recovery? I'm looking for 4 or 5 names each in Canada and the US. I have some surplus to portfolio funds, that I would use for long term calls.
Thanks so much for your service, you have helped me a lot.

Q: I own these three (half positions) and have had TRP for a long time so up about 70% on it and down about 20% on the other two. Would it make any sense to sell TRP and divie the cash proceeds between the other two (TOY and KXS)? I do already own ENB (full position).
Thanks again.

Q: Hi fellows,
In the US consumer cyclical sector, would crox be a good buy now in view of the coming spring/summer and is it very sensitive to the Asian markets ? What would be your favorites in the consumer cyclical sector, Canada and USA, for the coming months ?

Have a good year in all regards,

JD

Q: I understand how MAXR's debt (and now, cost of capital) undermines its prospects, but: isn't MAXR still a high-barriers-to-entry stock? I believe 5i said, many years ago, that there weren't that many companies that could even attempt the sorts of things they did. Aren't the rules for de facto monopolies more foregiving - for example, as concerns the multiplicity of suitors who would be prepared to look past this particular failure?

Q: I am a 75 year old RIF investor and generally invest conservatively in dividend paying companies, but I do like to allot a portion of the investment to something that might fly.

I have previously owned GC and TSGI, but sold both at a loss and bought LVS, which at least pays a dividend. It too, has been a loser, so I would like to know whether There is more chance of recovery with GC or TSGI than LVS, or whether I should just stay the course.

What are your thoughts?

Q: Greetings 5i team.
Given that Rogers is up approx 12% on the year and pays a dividend of 2.7%, would it make sense to SELL RCI.B and buy either BCE (down 9% with a div = 5.2%) or T (down 5% with a div = 4.3%)? This is registered money; Cap gains are not an issue. I own the stock for stability and income.

Q: I like Morguard's distribution, at over 8%. It seems to be fairing well lately, especially in comparison to almost everyone else (CAR and IIP.UN, your preferences in REITs are down 5-6% while MRT is up 7.82%). What do you think of it, and its prospects? Is the distribution safe? Is MRT likely to be needing cash soon? It's up strongly on a strongly down day, which is one of the things I look for in 'safer' stocks.

Q: I am looking to, over the next several months re-balance my portfolio. Can you suggest 5 Blue Chip type names from that meet the following criteria. I am not sure if there is a true, generally accepted definition of blue chip (GE anyone?) but I am looking for some reasonable, groiwng yield, good management with a track record, a generally if slowly growing company, a busines that is both established and has a clear viable future.

1. Not resource or oil extraction companies.
2. Not one of the big banks (as I presume they would all make it).
3. No more than 1 utility plesae.

Thank-you very much.

Q: A lot of positives in today's new release for Questor. Notwithstanding the size of the order, but the Company is now selling its clean technology into a new market: Mexico. Also for the first time this order included the power generation component from its Clear Power product line as part of the total solution. What are your thoughts for QST and its stock price going forward?
