Q: I am looking to invest in a solid high quality company with a good balance between dividend growth and earnings growth. Would you please add your 4 other favourites to my list of 4 and rank them from highest conviction to lowest for total returns over 1) a 1 year hold and 2) a 3-5 year hold.


Thanks for the great service

Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Good Afternoon
Looking at the offerings for ISRG and GRID, Do they offer products unique to their markets and have developed a loyal and growing customer base? For pure growth going forward which company would you endorse? I have become impatient with ISRG and the lack of SP appreciation
Thank you
