Q: Hello,

I was wondering for a TFSA (40K) for maximum growth what stocks would you propose. I don't envision needing the funds in the next few years (I have the model portfolio in a non taxable account).

I know that you specialize in Canadian equities, but if you would have to select a few US growth stocks (30k taxable account) what would you select.

Thank you so much.

Q: Hi Peter,
Points International (PTS) announced earnings last night and results beat estimates on both eps and revenues. Company had revenue YOY growth of 68% and seem to be executing quite nicely on their strategy in the loyalty market. What are your thoughts on their results? Do you believe this investment would require a longer term horizon (2-4 years)? And do you believe this company has room for further growth in terms of company performance and shareholder value?

Thank you

Q: Good morning,

My question is about People Corp on the venture(PEO.V). They are 'engaged in the delivery of employee group benefit consulting, pension consulting and third-party benefits administration services, as well as, recruiting services, strategic human resources consulting and career management services.'
Market cap is over 100 millions. Revenue and earnings seem to been growing. They are doing some aquisitions. Debt to equity is at a 0.5 ratio. Also, the CEO just bought 100 000 shares on the public market @ 2.40 $.
The bigger player in that area is , from what I understand, Morneau Shepell. ( what do you think of MS ? seems like a great and steady growing company ? ).
I would like to have your opinion on People corp on the long term. Do you know management ? Thats one of the info I'm missing to make a decision. I really feel this could grow in a great company like MS and I aiming for long term results. I know there is risk, but from what I see it's already a profitable, well run company .

Also, 4,815,050 shares bought in a financing at $2.15 become free trading on August,24,. Given the current price, would you wait to start a position ?

Thank you very much and sorry for my english

Q: I am retired and have a good retirement benefit from my employer. I currently have a portfolio composed of 70% fixed income and 30% equities. 50% of the equity component is XIU for diversification. I want to buy a basket of stocks for the other half of my equity holdings. I'm not sure how many stocks to buy ie double down with 4 names or 10 names at 5% weightings. The purpose of the individual stocks is to boost my return from XIU. I am somewhat conservative and I think I would lose sleep with 4 high octane names, but at the same time I would like the individual names to beat XIU ie I'm looking for growth. Would you please suggest an appropriate basket of names. Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Q: After this most recent pop, and heeding Peter/5i's repeated advice (thank you !) of keeping reasonable percentages on individual stocks, for the 2nd time, I sold some AYA in our diversified (thank you,again, for emphasizing this!) - growth oriented portfolios. I expect shortly to be doing the same with DHX. I don't know if you can come up with another one or two 'out of the park' hits, but would appreciate any recommendations that you feel might have similar potential for re-investing these profits.
I will happily be making a 2nd contribution to your charity ride and wish you safe travelling.
