Q: Hello Peter and team

To complement my all ETFs portfolio : VEQT 40%, QQQ 10%, VGT 10%, MOAT 10%, I intend to add 6 of the above 7 stocks for 5% each.
Does it make sense, please feel free to substitute and suggest other stocks and explain why.
This is for a 10 years hold with minimum or no trading in this account.
Thank you
Raouf

Q: I don't have too many names I want to sell, but lots of names I'd like to buy....

One move I would consider would be to sell CTS to invest in either TMX or ATS. My question is besides the different sectors, long-term which company has the most potential to outperform the others? I'm guessing in order of growth potential it would go CTS, ATS, TMX, with the risk profiles the exact opposite?

Do you see enough potential in CTS to hold it over the other two names? Thanks in advance. - Jeff

Q: I am somewhat confused and mystified....according to 3 sources I look at (including the company profile on 5i), the P/E for FSV is at 75. In an answer in early April you suggested the Forward P/E is 32.5; on April 25, you explained that while Revenue was up 14%, EPS was 67 cents down from 85 cents the prior year. 1. How does the Forward P/E drop by more than half when EPS went down? 2. You describe the results as good overall, yet the stock price continued to slide although it turned a bit at the beginning of this month: at this time do you see FSV as worth holding onto? Many thanks

Q: Hi there, can you tell me exactly how much of a discount George Weston is trading at relative to market and book value? I'm interested to know your thoughts on whether the discount can be broken down into any distinct components, and what the prospects are for future break up of the company so that investors can hold the investments in Loblaws, Choice REIT, etc. directly. Thank you.

Q: What do you think the go-forward risk is for significant market correction? Are there traditional metrics that you follow for such (ie inverted yield curve) and could you please comment on their present state?

Q: At the bottom of your website there's a link to Google Play, to download an Android application. However, all I get when I click on it is a non-existent application. Moreover, if I search directly on Google Play, I can't find any application for 5iResearch.

Please tell me how to find your Android app or, if it really doesn't exist, you should remove this link to Google Play.

Q: I am a holder of the stock at levels slightly higher than present and have been pleased with the last two quarters do you think the turnaround is in place. The inventory has been reduced from the previous high in the last 6 months or so. Is the current inventory at a level that is right sized for the sales or is it still high. Do you have a rule of thumb for a stock like this for inventory size vs some other metric. Any further color you can add on inventory would be helpful as I am lacking the knowledge. Thanks
